As summer winds down, ragweed-and-sagebrush season kicks in, bringing with it itchy eyes, runny noses and sneezing. Autumn is arguably the most beautiful time of year in Denver, but fall allergies can make being outside miserable for those who are affected by them. They shouldn’t, however, make you miserable in your home as well. Did you know relief is as close as your local HVAC professional? Air cleaners from companies such as Honeywell and Aprilaire can rid your home of debilitating allergens.
New homes are increasingly better at keeping the outdoors out, but that raises concerns for the contaminants that are trapped indoors, affecting air quality and health. Some simple steps you can take to improve your home’s indoor air quality are:
For severe allergy and asthma sufferers, however, these steps may not be enough. Whole house air cleaners, designed to minimize dust, pollen and other irritants, may be the solution that allows you to breathe easy at home.
Whole house air purification systems remove over 95% of particles down to .3 microns and attack all types of contaminants: microbes, viruses, tobacco smoke, pollen, allergens (like pet dander), dust, ash and dirt.
Consider having IAQ add a whole house air filtration system to your furnace or air conditioner. IAQ recommends Honeywell and Aprilaire because of their proven effectiveness at cleaning indoor air and their efficiency of operation.
The Honeywell F300 Electronic Air Cleaner requires no replacement filters and only minimal maintenance while collecting up to 99% of airborne particles that pass through the system. Simply wash the filter every 6-12 months.
The Honeywell F200 Media Air Cleaner is up to 40 times more effective and 97% more efficient at capturing airborne particles than a standard one-inch filter. The Wireless Airwatch Indicator lets you know when it is time to change the filter, typically every 6-12 months. If you decide you need more protection, this unit can be easily converted to a high performance electronic air cleaner.
