Keep reading to learn everything you need to know about whole-home air filtration in Winnetka, IL. You’ll find out why now is a great time to boost your indoor air quality and learn how these unique systems work. You have a couple of different options and we can go into greater detail when we visit your home for an assessment.
No matter which type of whole house air purifier you choose, the unit will go directly inside your HVAC system. The goal of a whole-house model is for it to capture all of the air passing through the system before it blows out into your home. When you first install the unit, it will take the better part of the day to clean all of the air in your home.
After that, the air purifier will help maintain indoor air quality that is more than 99% free from harmful particles. Even as you continue to bring germs, bacteria, and allergens indoors with you, your unit will be actively working to filter those particles out of the air and keep you healthy.
UV Light Air Purifier
With the UV light, air passes under the strong rays and harmful particles get neutralized. Examples include bacteria, viruses, and allergens. The air that blows back out into your home is cleaner and will feel fresher. One great thing about a UV light is that it doesn’t have a filter that can fill up and get clogged. Yet, you do still need to change out the bulb annually because it is only rated to last for so long.
Filter Air Purifier
A filter purifier works in much the same way, although instead of neutralizing harmful particles, it captures them in the tightly woven fibers of the filter and prevents them from passing through and out into your home. Different filters have different ratings for the types of particles they can remove from the air.
