The air we breathe in is an essential part of our lives as it keeps us up and running. As such, it’s in your best interest to improve your home’s air quality as it brings unparalleled comfort and numerous health benefits. There are many ways to go about having great indoor air quality. You could rely on your HVAC air filters, or you can use an air purifier. With that said, do you still need an air purifier to back up your HVAC filters?
In this post, an HVAC and solar installation specialist provides the answer to that question.
Your air filters embedded in your HVAC systems contain felt, mesh or fibrous mats that prevent dust and debris from entering your home. The caveat is that they can’t prevent anything smaller than that from entering your HVAC system, such as bacteria, gases and other contaminants. No matter which HVAC system you pick, it still won’t beat the capabilities of an air purifier. HVAC filters also have limited filtration capacity, so it’s great to place an air purifier to back your air filters up.
With the summer season kicking into high-gear, your solar panels and HVAC system will be working overtime to keep your home cool and comfortable while protecting you from contaminants. Having an air purifier to back it up reduces the stress put on your HVAC filters as there are fewer particles to clean out. Your HVAC can focus on its main task which is regulating the indoor air temperature and keeping it comfortable for everyone inside.
Do take note that not all air purifiers work the same way. Get a purifier that filters the main pollutants in your home. Air purifiers use different filtration systems such as UV lights, or gas-based filters. A UV purifier is great against bacteria and mold growth, while HEPA filters are great for clearing pet dander and dust.
