Although the technology of air purification isn\u2019t new, it\u2019s become more widespread in residential usage than ever before. People have a greater concern about the quality of the air circulating through their homes, and having an air purifier in Live Oak, FL<\/a> is one option to help improve comfort and general health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because there\u2019s plenty of information about air purifiers available, it\u2019s easy to pick up misunderstandings and myths about them. We\u2019ll help clear up some of the common misconceptions about air purifiers\u2014and we hope you let us clear up your air with our professional indoor air quality services!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Misunderstanding 1: Air purifiers don\u2019t work<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The effects of an air purifier aren\u2019t easy to immediately feel. You need to have one working consistently in your home before you start to detect improvements such as reduced allergy symptoms and fewer instances of illnesses. You\u2019ll probably also start sleeping better. Air purifiers work quietly and out of sight, installed into the HVAC system, so it\u2019s easy to assume nothing is happening. But if you have professionals find the right air purifier and install it, the effects can be tremendously beneficial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Misunderstanding 2: All purifiers use the same technology<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s a range of air purifiers types, and many combine more than one technology. Because air purifiers have different technologies, they can target different contaminants. This is one of the reasons to hire experienced professionals to select and install your air purifiers. Our experts will find out what specifically needs to be scrubbed from your air and match your house with the air purifier technology (ionization, UV lights, etc.) to deal with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Misunderstanding 3: Air purifiers put ozone into the air<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019ve heard reasons not<\/em> to have an air purification system installed, this is probably the main one. There was <\/em>truth to this: ozone was once a common air purification method. However, most modern air purifiers have abandoned ozone for different methods. If you\u2019re concerned about ozone, ask our technicians about it when you\u2019re looking into air purifiers. They\u2019ll see that you have a purifier that doesn\u2019t create ozone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Misunderstanding 4: Air purifiers don\u2019t need maintenance<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The good news is that air purifiers don\u2019t need much<\/em> maintenance. But they still need it. Some air purifiers contain filters in them, and these filters need regular changing. The power of the purifier makes it easier for the filter to catch particules, so this combination works extremely well\u2014unless the filter isn\u2019t changed! Air purifiers will also need regular inspections from HVAC pros. Our team can do this as part of your regular HVAC maintenance service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Misunderstanding 5: An AC negates the need for air purification<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

An air conditioner may send out air that\u2019s crisp and therefore feels clean\u2014but that air can still be filled with contaminants. The filter on an air conditioner isn\u2019t there to improve air quality, just stop dust from getting into the unit. If you\u2019ve got airborne pollutants in your home, your AC isn\u2019t doing much to stop them. In fact, if mold gets into the AC, it can add<\/em> pollutants to the air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
