Protect Your Home From These Three Contaminants

Air purifiers in Kalispell, MT are becoming more and more popular. It used to be common knowledge that air pollution was coming from outside sources like power plants and garbage dumps, but in reality, most of the air pollution we experience is right indoors.

From contaminants like mold and mildew to construction materials that might have gotten stuck somewhere throughout the building process of your home, you might see an influx of contaminants and a decrease in your overall air quality.

There’s no cause for alarm when you’ve got a team like us to help! Air purifiers can systematically eliminate biological contaminants from the air before they get to you, so you can have clean, fresh air no matter what season.

Couple this system with an air filtration unit and you’ve got complete coverage for your home’s air quality. Let’s talk about three unique contaminants that can be targeted with an air purifier.

Mold and Mildew Infestations

Mold is one of the most insidious things you might end up dealing with in your home. It exists naturally in the environment and it can invade your home when there are two ingredients it needs to survive–darkness and water.

Mold can thrive in crawlspaces, basements, and even rooms in your home that don’t have much access to direct sunlight and that also might be damp. Any residual water left over from a leak or from a shower is going to allow mold to grow on surfaces and eventually eat away at the structure of your home.

Mold infestations in your home will require professional support when they get that bad, but mold also spreads through the air with the use of mold spores, meaning you could breathe on in and get a mold infection in your own body. That’s where an air purifier comes in.

UV air purifiers are charged with an ultraviolet light that eliminates biological contaminants in the same way that direct sunlight does. It renders the contaminant harmless and allows it to be swept up when you next clean your house.

Viruses

From COVID-19 to the Flu, and even Rhinovirus (the common cold), viruses are everywhere and they can be a serious problem for those of us with rigid schedules. That next vacation you’re hoping to take, or that next birthday party you’re excited to host could all be canceled with one bad viral infection.

Luckily for us, viruses are also biological contaminants that are susceptible to ultraviolet light and the technology of an air purifier, meaning they’ll be targeted and eliminated with the help of this system. When mounted in your air ducts too, an air purifier will clean all of the air in your home, not just one room at a time.

Bacteria

Bacteria are insidious because they can become resistant to cleaning supplies, antibiotics, and other things we normally use to fight them. Just like the other contaminants on this list, bacteria can be everywhere. If you’ve noticed a theme, then you probably know where we’re going with this.

Bacteria can also be systematically eliminated and rendered harmless with a UV air purifier. No matter what kind of bacteria you’re dealing with, you’ll see a healthier, cleaner home with an air purification system.
