Everyone wants healthy, breathable air at home. An air purifier is a device that removes contaminants and improves the quality of your indoor air. This appliance comes in whole-house and portable models, including mounted and freestanding options to suit every space. Below are the most common benefits of home air purifiers. 

5 Reasons to Get an Air Purifier

1. You Live With or Near a Smoker

Cigarette smoke contains unsafe pollutants. If there’s a smoker in your household, or if you live in an apartment building with neighbors who smoke, your health may be compromised. An air cleaner gets rid of the unpleasant smell of cigarettes while also removing hazardous contaminants from the air you breathe.

2. Your Family Has Allergies

Poor indoor air quality triggers allergy symptoms, including itchy eyes, sneezing, runny nose, skin rash, and difficulty breathing. Installation of an air purifier will mitigate or even entirely remedy these problems.

3. You Have Pets

Pets may be cute, but their hair and dander are some of the key contaminants of indoor air. They trigger allergic reaction in some people and carry odors that permeate your home. An air purifier provides relief from both.

4. Your Home Suffered Water Damage

Water damage in your home often leads to mold growth. Mold spores in the air can activate allergies and may pose risks to children and other vulnerable populations. Air purifiers are equipped with filters that catch and eliminate mold spores, making your home environment more livable. 

5. You Have a Fireplace or Wood Stove

Smoke from a stove or fireplace irritates the eyes and causes coughing, sneezing, and other symptoms. Because it's impossible to completely prevent smoke from entering your indoor air when you use your hearth or wood-burning stove, consider installing an air purification system.
