When you’re at home or your place of business in Plumas Lake, CA, it’s important that the air you breathe is clean and isn’t making you sick. If you are feeling unwell while indoors, it could be due to poor indoor air quality (IAQ). Here are four benefits to having our technicians install an air purification system in your home or office.
1. Reduces Allergies and Asthma
There are many triggers for seasonal allergies and asthma, such as dust, mites, pet dander and pollen. Without a purification system, these particulates can decrease the quality of your indoor air. Stand-alone and whole-house air purifiers trap and remove these irritants from recirculation.
2. Removes Smoke
Whether someone in your household smokes tobacco products and e-cigs or you enjoy cozying up to a wood-burning fireplace in the fall, smoke is a natural byproduct that can damage your lungs. Smoke can lead to lung cancer and COPD if you don’t keep it in check. An air purifier that comes with an HEPA filter and activated carbon can reduce the ill effects of smoke.
3. Eliminates Odors
Indoor odors have many sources and can be annoying and hard to pinpoint. Pets, cleaning products and cooking residue will often make an entire house smell unpleasant. You can ensure fresh-smelling indoor air with an air purifier and routine HVAC maintenance services.
4. Can Reduce Pathogens
Hospitals use sophisticated air purification systems to reduce the spread of illnesses, such as bacterial infections and viruses. House and commercial space air purifiers can also help reduce illnesses. Some of these use ultraviolet lights to kill the microbes.
If you suspect the air quality in your Plumas Lake, CA home or business space is poor, contact Town and Country Heating and Air Conditioning, Inc. for professional indoor air quality services. We will be happy to discuss installing a stand-alone or whole-house air purifier to manage your indoor air pollutants effectively.
