Should You Get An Electronic Air Purifier?
How clean is the air you’re breathing in your Englewood, Florida home? At Symbiont Air Conditioning, this is a question we hear from our customers all the time because they aren’t sure if the air in their homes is clean. Floridians spend a lot of time indoors in the summer and when they’re indoors they are running the air conditioner to combat the outdoor heat and humidity and you could be dealing with inferior indoor air quality.
Indoor air pollution is not something to be taken lightly and this is especially true if you have any underlying health issues that could impact your breathing and your lung health.
Should You Get An Electronic Air Purifier?
Don’t wonder whether you and your family are breathing clean air, talk with us and invest in an electronic air purifier. Here are some of the reasons you may want to make this investment:
- If you have asthma
- If you suffer from respiratory issues
- If you have itchy, red eyes and a runny nose
- If you’re allergic to outdoor items like pollen or indoor items like mold, pet dander or dust mites that could impact your indoor air quality
How does an indoor electronic air purifier work to clean the air?
These devices circulate the air and clean unhealthy items floating through the air inside your home. The purifier “charges” the airborne particles. That charge causes the particles to fall and stick to surfaces, taking them out of the air. If you then keep up with dusting and vacuuming your carpets and furniture, you can easily and effectively remove those contaminants
What type of electronic air purifiers are there?
- Electrostatic precipitator. This air purifier “charges” dirt and dust and other contaminants as they move through the air ducts. When this happens, the particles will stick to plates inside the ducts that are “opposite-charged.”
- This air cleaner sends ions into the air in your home. The ions attach themselves to the floating particles in the air, “charges” then and then they settle around the house. (as mentioned above)
How to decide which one is right for you and your home?
For many Englewood, Florida homeowners, it is a personal preference. Each form has advantages and disadvantages – ask one of our professionals about these so you can make an informed decision.
Some of the pros and cons are:
- When using an ionizer model you will need to dust and vacuum your home more frequently – if you want to ensure the air is clean
- If you use an electrostatic style the charged metal plates will need to be cleaned occasionally
Think about your health and the health of those in your family, give us a call and let’s talk about electronic air purifiers and how they just might benefit you and your health. Also, don’t forget to ask us about cleaning the indoor air through the use of UV (ultraviolet) light systems. When using a UV light system with your electronic air purifier you are ensuring the air is doubly clean.
