Many people think of air purifiers only as tools for getting rid of cigarette smoke odors or helping people with asthma, but the truth is that a good air purifier has something to offer everyone. Even if you don’t realize it, all homes have impurities in the air that a good air purification system can help remove. Here are three of the top reasons why you need an air purifier in your home.
 1. Pollen is Virtually Everywhere
During the spring and autumn seasons, plants produce large quantities of pollen, much of which can end up in the air. This pollen triggers allergic reactions that can range in severity from itchy eyes and mild sneezing to full-blown hay fever. If you want to help reduce your own allergic symptoms, an air purifier with a HEPA filter is a great way to go. Grains of pollen are large enough to be caught by the filter, making them quite easy to remove.
 2. Combating Dust and Mold
Even if you make supreme efforts to keep your house clean, there will still be some dust that gets missed. Air purifiers can keep this dust from entering your lungs when it becomes airborne by capturing it, thus keeping your home air clean and healthy. A much larger concern than dust is the mold that is incredibly common in residential homes, though often difficult to spot. Much like dust and pollen, mold spores can be caught in an air purifier’s HEPA filter, preventing them from spreading or being breathed into your lungs.
 3. There May Be More Chemicals in Your Air Than You Think
When you think of your home air, you probably don’t think of chemical fumes. However, chemicals, especially volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are much more common in home air than most people realize. Many construction materials used in modern houses contain formaldehyde, and both benzene and xylene find their ways into many homes. If you want to prevent exposure to these gases, the best way to do it is to use an air purifier that has a carbon filter, which will effectively remove VOCs and odors.
These are just a handful of the many reasons that all homes should have a good air purifier. If you’re looking for an air purifier for your home, check out our complete lineup of residential units, or feel free to contact us with any questions you may have about which unit is right for you.
