Though it’s important to maintain comfortable temperatures in your Eagle Point, OR, home, ensuring that your home’s air remains clean is equally important. Fortunately, many tools are available to help you in this endeavor. Here are three reasons to invest in improving your indoor air quality (IAQ):
Lower HVAC-Related Costs
Airborne debris can attach itself to your system’s air filter and other components, inhibiting airflow and lowering performance. These two issues reduce the HVAC system’s ability to create warm or cold air, thus causing it to work harder and longer. As a result, you’ll likely face higher monthly bills and a shorter system lifespan.
A whole-home air purifier will remove more airborne particulates than the regular air filter alone. To ensure adequate airflow and a clean system, you must also remember to schedule regular maintenance once or twice a year.
Better Health
Airborne pollutants like dust, smoke, fumes from volatile organic compounds (VOCs), pet dander, pollen, viruses, bacteria and even insect droppings can all pose a threat to your health. If you inhale these substances, they can irritate your lungs and sinuses, causing symptoms such as coughing, sneezing, headaches, congestion, nausea, vomiting and possibly the onset of serious diseases. Air purifiers and other IAQ solutions, which can remove these substances, can contribute to improving your health, especially in the long run.
Fewer Unpleasant Odors
Many of the airborne pollutants that we mentioned above can also emit some rather unpleasant odors. The most effective way to combat odors is with an air purification system that uses activated carbon filters. These filters also remove VOCs and smoke, resulting in a healthier, better smelling home.
