WHY YOU NEED A HOME AIR PURIFIER IN YOUR HOME

If reading this article, you are probably concerned about the health risks associated with poor indoor air quality in your home. Think about it like this – It is recommended that adults drink up to 4 litres of water per day, most people will choose to drink bottled or filtered water vs tap because they believe it’s healthier…now consider the average person breathes 18kg of air every day, isn’t it worth considering your family’s health & getting your indoor air quality sorted?

Smarter Air has advice & suggestions on how you can improve the air quality in your home.

How healthy is the air in your home? It’s not something we generally think about but it’s a big deal – we spend as much as 90% of our time indoors! For all we know, anything could be lurking unseen in our living spaces, while we unknowingly inhale them day in and day out.  ‘Everyday pollutants’ can contaminate indoor air quality and cause all sorts of health problems.

Some important steps towards healthier living environments include:

  • Improving indoor ventilation (windows to let in clean air when the air conditioner is turned off);
  • Seal off air leaks throughout the home. A good example of this is exhaust fans in laundries & bathrooms which allow your ducted air conditioner to suck hot air from your roof space (this can increase your running costs by up to 30%);
  • Reducing the use of carpets, rugs, curtains and other types of soft furnishings (these are magnets for dust, germs and bacteria);
  • Cutting down on the usage of candles and wood fires and never smoking indoors;
  • Using whole-home air purifiers in your ducted air conditioning system to inhibit and remove indoor air pollutants.

WHAT IS THE INDOOR AIR POLLUTION PROBLEM?

Air purification is now becoming an important need as our homes continue to face pollutants like dust and smoke. Organic pollutants like mould and dust mites are very common. Then we have pollens that are capable of causing allergies. We also have chemical off-gassing from furniture, carpets as well as adhesives and other building materials. On top of that, some airborne viruses and bacteria travel especially fast in air-conditioned environments.
