How Do Air Purifiers Work?

If you use a forced air HVAC system, such as a split central air conditioner, then you probably already know that there is an air filter in that system. We hope you know this, anyway, as you should be changing that air filter regularly.

If you use a forced air HVAC system, such as a split central air conditioner, then you probably already know that there is an air filter in that system. We hope you know this, anyway, as you should be changing that air filter regularly. If your goal is to improve the quality of the air throughout your home, though, then this air filter is simply not enough. The goal of this basic media filter is to protect your HVAC equipment itself from the problems caused by pollutant accumulation, not to improve your indoor air quality. Using the right air purifier in Boca Raton, FL can help you to achieve that goal, though. Contact All-Pro Electrical & Air Conditioning to learn more.

Pollutant Removal

Many homeowners suffer aggravated allergy or asthma symptoms due to high concentrations of airborne pollutants, such as dust and dirt, in their homes. While an air filter can remove some of these pollutants, further action is sometimes necessary. Using an electronic air purifier is a great way to remove more of these pollutants from the air in your home, helping to alleviate the symptoms that they cause. By drawing air into an ionization chamber, an electronic air purifier is able to give the pollutants within that air an electric charge. They are then simply trapped on collector plates that are oppositely charged, effectively removing them from circulation throughout your home.

What About Biological Pollutants?

Simply removing biological pollutants, such as viruses, mold and bacteria, from the air in your home is not the most effective way of dealing with them, as they can continue to reproduce even after being trapped. UV air purifiers, such as UV germicidal lights, though, actually destroy these pollutants, leaving them incapable of reproducing. We install and service quality air purifiers from some of the finest manufacturers in the industry, so give us a call today to start breathing air of a higher quality in your home.
