Today's atmosphere is filled with pollution.  Cleaning products, smoke, paints, pet dander, dead skin, dust mites, solvents, mold, mildew, carbon monoxide, varnishes, dust, and pesticides can be in the air we breathe.  Fortunately with today's technology we can lessen the damaging effects these particles have on our health. Our homes are an enclosed system, so it's fairly easy to regulate the air inside.  There are several different options a homeowner has to ensure the air inside their home is healthy.

Air Cleaners are one of the most popular way of removing unwanted particles from your home.  Air Cleaners filter out particles that cause asthma, and irritation such as dust, pollen, mold, contaminates, and spores.  These harmful particles pass through the air cleaner and are collected into a filter.  Using a Air Cleaner you can effectively reduce you asthma symptoms, and allergies.  There are several types of air cleaners available.  One type is a Media Air Cleaner.  Media Air Cleaner uses a high efficiency pleated air filter, that removes larger particles
with over 99% efficiency.  HEPA Air Cleaners use high efficiency pleated filters.  These air cleaners remove 99.97% of dust and mold spores.  Electronic Air Cleaners, electronically charge particles and attract them onto a plate.  These plates must be cleaned frequently to work effectively.

Another effective way to reduce harmful bacteria is installing a U.V. Lamp system.  U.V lamps eliminate mold and bacteria that grow on your cooling coil.  These contaminants can produce harmful mold spores and odors into the home.  U.V. lights are created to sterilize the coils surface to protect the air you breathe.  No cleaning is required with U.V Lamps,  just a yearly bulb change on lamps.

You may not realize it, but the dry air in your home could be the culprit to your allergies.   The humidity level in your home is important to keep your family safe and comfortable.  Improper humidity can result in dry nasal passages, itchy dry skin, growth of bacteria, molds, viruses, and dust mites.  All these problems can be alleviated by installing a humidifier. There are several different types and sizes to fit every home owners needs.

Last but not least, having your air ducts cleaned can remove harmful bacteria and particles from your home as well.  If you are experiencing eye irritations, sinus problems, upper respiratory issues, or headaches it could be due to your contaminated air duct system.  Smoke and pet dander can cause a unhealthy environment inside your home.  Having your air ducts cleaned and sanitized by a professional, can provide major health benefits for 3 to 7 years.
