Benefits of Air Scrubbers
Builders design modern homes to be energy efficient, with quality insulation and tightly sealed windows and doors that keep warm or cool air inside. While this reduces energy costs, it also limits natural air circulation.
As a result, indoor air can become stagnant, trapping pollutants and allergens inside your home. Without proper ventilation, contaminants, both from inside your home and outside, can accumulate, reducing air quality and affecting your family’s health.
There are several common indoor air pollutants that may be decreasing your home’s air quality:
- Dust and dust mites
- Pet dander and hair
- Smoke particles from cooking
- Pollen tracked in from outdoors
- Volatile organic compounds (VOCs)
VOCs are chemical compounds released as gases from everyday household products such as carpets, furniture, paint, and cleaners. Over time, these can build up in your home’s air, contributing to irritation, headaches, and respiratory issues. For people with allergies, asthma, or other sensitivities, these pollutants can significantly worsen symptoms like sneezing, coughing, and fatigue.
Manufacturers design air scrubbers to help reduce these harmful particles by filtering and purifying the air inside your home. We install them directly in your HVAC system’s ductwork, and they use a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter to capture tiny airborne contaminants.
Many air scrubbers also include a carbon filter that absorbs odors and chemical pollutants like VOCs, offering an extra layer of protection. Unlike standard HVAC filters, which protect your HVAC system and capture larger particles, air scrubbers clean the air you breathe, improving overall indoor air quality.
Our indoor air quality testing identifies the specific pollutants in your home. This allows us to recommend the most effective air purification solutions, keeping your household safer and more comfortable year-round.
