Air Purification Helps You Breathe Cleaner Air
Christian Heating & Air Conditioning offer the full line of air purifiers and filters from Aprilaire. Their air purifiers offer industry-leading particulate removal which provides homeowners with protection against common allergy and asthma triggers, a cleaner, healthier home, and superior protection of HVAC equipment. A high-performance air cleaner means better indoor air quality and a more efficient HVAC system.
If someone in your home suffers from allergies or asthma, you already know the negative impact that polluted air can have. No matter how clean you keep your home, it’s likely full of harmful particles that can exacerbate allergies and asthma—and increase the likelihood of colds and flu.
Aprilaire can help you control the purity of the air in your home with a whole-home air purifier. And unlike standard portable air purifiers, a whole-home air purifier is installed as part of your home’s heating and cooling system to effectively remove polluted air not just in one room—but throughout your entire home.
Indoor Air Quality Affects Your Heath
Poor indoor air quality is often worse for your health than outdoor air pollution. The reason is that pollutants are more concentrated indoors than out. The risk is so significant that the EPA recently named indoor air pollution as a top five health concern for Americans. It is important to note that without the use of an air cleaner, indoor air will not be cleaner than the outdoor air, and those accumulated particles can lead to a wide range of serious respiratory problems.
Common Air Pollutants
- Mold spores
- Pet Dander
- Bacteria
- Pollen
- Dust Mites
Improved Technology Provides On-Demand Air Cleaning
The main drawback of typical air purifiers is that they only operate when your heating and cooling system is running. This is not an issue with Event-Based Cleaning from Aprilaire. Your system can activate based on activities, conditions, and events, but you can also enable or disable it with the touch of a button. You can even dictate how much clean air is delivered.
