Indoor air quality (IAQ) is a critical factor in maintaining good health, especially since most of us spend the majority of our time indoors. The air inside your home can be polluted with allergens, dust, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) which are associated with serious health problems such as asthma, allergies, and other respiratory and cardiovascular illnesses. Here’s what you need to know to ensure clean air in your home.
Misconceptions about Furnace Filters
One of the most common misconceptions about indoor air quality is that the furnace filter used to protect the components of your heating and cooling equipment also cleans the air you breathe. While standard pleated filters may help protect your equipment, they do very little to protect your human lungs. It is important to understand that the purpose of a furnace filter is to keep your equipment clean and functioning efficiently, not to improve your indoor air quality.
New Technologies for Improved IAQ
Fortunately, new technologies are available to help improve indoor air quality in your home. These systems are designed to clean the air by removing pollutants, allergens, and VOCs. In 2015, current generation IAQ products began finding their way onto the consumer market, but not until the pandemic of 2020 did the existence of these solutions rise to prominence.
- Air Scrubber Advanced by Aerus: One of the most effective systems available today is the AirScrubber with ActivePure technology from Aerus. Well-known for its ability to remove surface dust, eliminate odors, and reduce VOCs, Air Scrubber has proven effective in helping bring relief to tens of thousands of people who suffer from asthma and allergies. The AirScrubber Advanced integrates seamlessly with your current forced air system, offering passive air purification whenever air moves through your ventilation. Don’t have a forced air system? No problem. The Air Scrubber Pure and Clean standalone unit can effectively mitigate the same range of dangerous VOC’s and allergens, regardless of your current HVAC equipment.
- PuriFi IQ with AMP technology by PuriFi Labs: Another extremely effective system in this bandwidth is the PuriFi IQ with AMP technology, which is capable of delivering surgical theater-quality air inside your home. This system uses advanced technology from NASA and Honeywell Aerospace to purify the air within your home and ensures that it is free of pollutants, allergens, and other harmful particles. What really sets the PuriFi IQ system apart from the rest, is their proprietary wall mounted PuriFi PM Air Quality Sensor, which communicates with your central heating and cooling system via the PuriFi Smart Hub device, and automatically begins air circulation any time the air quality within your home drops below your desired thresholds. The Smart Hub device allows you to track the quality of your indoor air in real time, giving you on-demand performance when you need it most.
