This\nwill help boost your family\u2019s immunity, and make you more comfortable spending\ntime at home. After all, even pre-pandemic, most Americans spent 70% of their\ntime in their homes. Surely, that number is higher now. If you\u2019re one of those\nindividuals who\u2019s at home a lot more now, what can you do to make your living\nspace healthier? Read on as we uncover at least one method. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2>Have a Whole-Home Air Purifier Installed<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Have you heard of portable air purifiers? Chances are that\nyou have\u2026 people have been buying them in droves for the last several months. However,\nportable systems lack the coverage and the reliability of a whole-home system.\nA whole-home air purifier can be the right choice for any home, but especially\nhomes that suffer from:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Mold or Mildew Growth<\/li><li>Dirty Air Ducts<\/li><li>Smell or Stale, Stuffy Air<\/li><li>Dust and Other Particles in the Air<\/li><li>Allergy Flare-Ups for Household Members<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re unsure of whether or not a whole-home air purifier\nis really the best choice for you, we encourage you to reach out to our\nprofessionals. We\u2019ll help you make an educated decision!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Portable systems do have <em>some\n<\/em>impact on your indoor air quality, at least. But for the best results, you\nshould definitely reach out to our professionals and see what is best for your\nspecific needs. A whole-home system is both cost-efficient and convenient, as\nwe\u2019ve illustrated below. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Cost-Efficiency<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019re going to make the comparison to portable systems\nagain, because it\u2019s worth seeing the difference it can make. Portable air\npurifiers can typically only handle a small to mid-size room. This means that\nto ensure your entire home is reached, you\u2019ll need multiple systems to put in\nvarious areas around your home, while a whole-home air purifier can be\ninstalled directly into the ductwork, where it will address the entire house. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This makes a whole-home system more cost-efficient than getting several portable systems (and it also saves space). Cleaner air also means that you won\u2019t have to change out the HVAC air filters as much. Granted, these filters aren\u2019t in place to protect your indoor air quality. But if there are fewer particles <em>in <\/em>your air to begin with, they won\u2019t get clogged up as quickly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Convenience<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As we stated above, whole-home air purifiers are integrated directly into your HVAC system and\/or the ductwork. This means there\u2019s no need to worry about extra space being used by multiple smaller units. You also don\u2019t have to listen to multiple small air purifiers all running at the same time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, you\u2019ll have even, uniform indoor air quality in\nyour home 24\/7. While a whole-home air purifier won\u2019t mitigate serious\nproblems, such as an infestation of mold, the use of this system can help prevent\nproblems like this from happening to begin with. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>To improve your <a href=\"\/hvac\/indoor-air-quality\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"indoor air quality in Concord, CA (opens in a new tab)\">indoor air quality in Concord, CA<\/a> and beyond, contact <a href=\"\/contact\/send-a-message\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Hometown Heating and Air Conditioning (opens in a new tab)\">Hometown Heating and Air Conditioning<\/a> today!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Homeowners are increasingly concerned about the quality of the air in their homes.
