Summer starts earlier in the South, and as the heat starts rolling in, air conditioning systems become increasingly important. However, the AC is also in charge of keeping the indoor air clean and breathable, and that’s why cooling and heating contractors recommend installing an air purification system. Here’s a closer look at how it will benefit your home’s air quality.

Reasons to Install an Air Purifier in Your Home

1. Removes Contaminants

As the air conditioning system runs, it accumulates contaminants like dust, dirt, and allergens in the filter and air ducts. These contaminants circulate throughout the home when the system is running, and this may cause a variety of health issues like a runny nose, eye irritation, and respiratory problems. Though a standard disposable air filter tackles the majority of these pollutants if it’s regularly replaced, an air purifier removes far more.

2. Eliminates Odors

If you have an unpleasant smell that you can’t get rid of, installing an air purifier can help restore the interior areas to normal. Many systems use an air purifier, which captures or destryos the particles creating the odor as the air circulates through the house. This helps get rid of kitchen smells, musty odors, and lingering scents from smoke damage.

3. Reduces the Amount of Cleaning

Anyone who finds themselves constantly cleaning dust, dirt, and pet fur should consider an air purifier. These systems are able to capture contaminants before they dirty up the interior spaces. This means you won’t have to clean as often and will spend less money on air duct cleaning services.

4. Mitigates Mold Growth

When mold spores get inside a space, they can quickly develop into a colony. This is problematic because they’re difficult to remove entirely, are dangerous to your health, and negatively impact the overall property value. Adding an air purifier to the heating and air unit captures or destroys these spores before they’re able to develop into a more serious issue.

5. Increases Efficiency

As a traditional air filter and ductwork get clogged, the HVAC system becomes less efficient. This results in you spending more money on your monthly utility bills, having to schedule more frequent repairs, and even replacing the entire system sooner than you should. An air purifier keeps contaminants off coils and other components, which maintains the overall efficiency.
