Sensitivities to Poor Air Quality

Certain groups of people are more susceptible to poor indoor air quality. Children have developing lungs, and they breathe in more air than adults, which increases their exposure. Older adults may have compromised breathing, and pollution makes it even more difficult to breathe. People with asthma, heart disease, or lung disease are also negatively affected by air quality.

Choosing the Right Purification System

The pros at Wilson Plumbing & Heating can help you select the right air purifier for your home. We will help you choose the best model based on your budget, health concerns, and room sizes.

To maximize the benefits of your air purifier system, you should:

• Eliminate tobacco smoke from your home
• Use a wood-burning fireplace only occasionally and not as a main source of heat
• Vacuum frequently
• Change filters on a regular basis

When it’s time to select an air purifier, you have several options to consider. The most popular models purify air by ions, ultraviolet light, and filters. We can discuss the differences with you and suggest the best choice based on the clean air delivery rate (CADR), room size, and energy efficiency. Energy Star models will be up to 40% more efficient than other models and cost less per year to operate.

Our technicians can modify your existing HVAC system to accommodate larger, thicker filters to capture more particles. A thicker filter inside your HVAC system will clean all the air in your home when the system is in operation. You’ll need to change the filter just as often as you would with a traditional filter.

If you live in the greater Akron, or the Southern Cleveland area, we can help you have the cleanest possible air for your home. Schedule an appointment today to learn how we can fit your entire HVAC system with air purifying filters.
