Does an Air Purifier Really Work?
Are you worried about your indoor air quality? Have you been mulling over the idea of buying an air purifier? They almost sound too good to be true. We’re here to break it down so you can tell if they live up to the hype.
How Do Air Purifiers Work?
There are different types of air purification systems, but they all work to sanitize the air in your home. Some purifiers have fans that pull air through a filter that traps small particles so they can’t recirculate. Different filters trap different-sized particles, so some are more effective than others. Other purifiers emit negative ions to neutralize the positive ion particles that can impact your air quality.
Do They Really Work?
Air purifiers do really work. They help clean your air and reduce the number of airborne pollutants in your home. They do have limitations, however, and that’s important to keep in mind. The key when it comes to how purification systems work is that they’re only able to trap or neutralize airborne particles. So, anything on surfaces, in carpets and textiles, and on walls, ceilings, or floors are stuck where they are.
What Are the Benefits?
If you have allergies, headaches, respiratory issues, sneezing, sore throat, runny nose, itchy eyes, or any other lingering health issues, they could be due to poor indoor air quality. Adding an air purification system can significantly reduce those symptoms by removing the allergens and aggravating pollutants from your home. If you’re ready to improve your indoor air, start by calling your local McCall’s Supply dealer to ask about the right air purifier for your home.
