Indoor air quality is a topic that\u2019s been on the minds of a lot of Americans. With the recent wildfires in Canada bringing ash, soot, and smoke to much of the northern and eastern US, indoor air quality services<\/a> are something that are in high demand as more and more people are feeling the effects of poor air quality in their homes.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many people will purchase a single air purifier and think that\u2019s good enough. However, they have many shortcomings. To truly tackle the problems caused by poor air quality, you need whole house solutions. Let\u2019s go over your options for improving your home\u2019s IAQ and why those big-box store air filters just won\u2019t cut it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Portable Air Filters<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Although portable air filters have their benefits, in order to use these to clean the air throughout your entire home, you\u2019d need one in just about every room. Although they can be inexpensive to purchase, the filters are usually costly and need to be replaced frequently. When you add up the expense of how much they cost to run along with the purchase of filters, they don\u2019t make sense economically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Portable air filters are also not effective at filtering a large number of pollutants. According to Healthline<\/a>, portable air purifiers also may not be beneficial against mold, nicotine and other gaseous pollutants, animal dander, especially from involuntary rodent infestations, cockroach allergens, some types of VOCs (volatile organic compounds), dust mites, and pollen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whole House Solutions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A whole house air purification system is just what it sounds like: it purifies the air throughout your entire home. They are relatively easy to install for a professional HVAC contractor (especially a team such as ours with NATE- and EPA-certified technicians). Once installed, maintenance is fairly straightforward and the system is inexpensive to maintain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
