And your home is supposed to be your safe space, where you let down your guard, breathing deeply and restfully all night long! Indoor air doesn\u2019t have to be dirty, though. Cleaner air can be yours with an <a href=\"\/service-areas\/chehalis-wa\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">HVAC air purifier in Chehalis, WA<\/a>. Here\u2019s what it can do for you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Trapping Particles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can simply use an air filtration system, which will be installed in your HVAC system\u2019s ductwork to trap the particles and fibers that float through with your heated or cooled air. An air purifier uses a filter as well, to trap and remove the larger specks before the air moves on to the rest of the purification system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Killing Germs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Ultraviolet light is incredible. A UV germicidal light is the next step in an HVAC air purifier. Once the larger particles have been filtered out, the air passes through a space in your ductwork where an ultraviolet lightbulb has been installed. This frequency of light can penetrate right through the outer membranes of single-celled pathogens!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Inside the germ, the light affects protein bonds. Since these are how the DNA of single-celled microbes are held together, the functional structures of these germs simply fall apart, like eggs scrambled right in their shells. No more threat exists from these pathogens: they can\u2019t affect your body, and they can\u2019t reproduce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">UV Safety<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Ultraviolet light doesn\u2019t pose the danger to you that it does to these microscopic beasties. It\u2019s similar to the light from the sun. This means you don\u2019t want constant exposure to it, for the same reason that you wouldn\u2019t sunbathe all day every day. But in these whole house air purifiers, the light only shines inside your ducts. You won\u2019t have any exposure to it at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Benefits of Cleaner Air<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s remarkable the number of things that people experience when they start breathing air that\u2019s been through a UV germicidal light. There are obvious things, like fewer allergy symptoms and fewer days of missed work due to illness or caring for a sick child. But it goes far beyond that! People also have fewer headaches, better sleep at night, enjoy better energy during the day, and spend more time in good moods!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The benefits aren\u2019t just about your health and wellbeing, though. The UV light will also kill mold spores, helping to prevent mold growth all throughout your home. And since unpleasant odors are caused by bacteria drifting through the air, your air purifier will zap everything that floats up from your trash can, cat litter box, dirty socks, and more. Your house will smell fresh and clean!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019d like to find out more about how a whole house air purifier can work with your existing HVAC system, we\u2019d love to talk with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Your comfort is our business at Americool Heating &amp; Air Conditioning! <a href=\"\/contact-us\/send-a-message\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Contact<\/a> us today for expert air purifier installation in Chehalis, WA.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Indoor air doesn\u2019t have to be dirty, though.
