Do You Suffer From These Symptoms of Indoor Air Pollution?
The United States EPA has ranked indoor air pollution as one of the top 5 environmental risks to your health. In fact, they say concentrations of some pollutants are often 2 to 5 times higher indoors than outdoors.
Here are some of the symptoms the government of Canada lists for living in an environment with poor indoor air quality:
- Fatigue
- Headache
- Dizziness
- Sinus congestion
- Shortness of breath
- Coughing and sneezing
- Hypersensitivity and allergies
- Dry and irritated eyes, nose, throat, and skin
The naked eye can see particles in the air as small as 25 microns thick. That’s about the size of a small grain of sand, but many of the particles in the air you breathe are far smaller. That means no matter how hard you look, you won’t see what’s in the air you breathe.
You wouldn’t drink dirty water, would you?
But what do you do when you’re worried about the water you’re about to drink? You put it through a filter.
That’s exactly what you should do with your air.
What about the filter on your furnace?
That filter you change every so often is there to protect your furnace’s motor and keep it running for as long as possible. It’s not designed to remove pollution from the air in your home.
That’s why you need a purpose built air purifier if you actually care about removing harmful contaminants from your home.
There’s a lot of options for cleaning your air ranging from the completely ineffective to the ridiculously expensive. One system that works well is called a HEPA filter.
HEPA filtration systems were invented to prevent radioactive particles from escaping nuclear laboratories.
It’s the same technology used to clean the air inside hospital operating rooms.
We install Furnace King whole-house HEPA air cleaners that bring the same technology into your home.
Particles that small are what a HEPA filter is built for. Our True HEPA filters are at least 99.97% efficient at 0.3 microns.
That means cleaner, less dusty air in your home.
A whole-house HEPA air cleaner connects to your existing return air duct. Depending on the model, the HEPA filter typically lasts 2 to 5 years, and the prefilter needs changing every 3 to 6 months.
We will take care of everything from A-Z and show you exactly how to use it.
