Improve the Air You Breathe
Horn Plumbing & Heating has served homeowners and businesses throughout Chester, Delaware, and Montgomery Counties since 1981. Our HVAC services include heating, air conditioning, and ventilation but also air purification, and our team can integrate an air purifier into your existing HVAC equipment to improve your indoor air. An integrated air purifier can trap particulates, such as dust and pet dander, but also eliminate bacteria, viruses, odors, volatile organic compounds, and so forth.
What Is an Air Purification System and How Does It Work?
The term air filter is generally reserved for passive media and active devices that remove solid particulates. Air purification is typically more advanced. Air purifiers will usually contain an air filter, such as a HEPA filter, but will also house other means of purification, such as ultraviolet germicidal irradiation, activated carbon, polarized-media electronic air cleaning, ionization, and so forth. Whole house air purification is integrated into an existing HVAC system. It’s generally attached to the air handler and can be positioned on either the supply or return side. The blower forces air through the air purifier before it reaches the heating or cooling system, and the purifier removes the impurities, which keeps your HVAC equipment and ducts cleaner and improves the quality of the air you breathe.
The Benefits of a Whole Home Air Purifier
When people think about air pollution, they tend to picture dense smog billowing from industrial chimneys, but air pollution is a health concern even in rural communities. Furthermore, indoor air pollution is often a greater health risk because it’s much more concentrated and the average American spends more than 90% of his or her time indoors. Indoor air pollution levels cannot be lower than outdoor air pollution levels without some form of air purification. An air purifier will eliminate the particulates and contaminants that are linked to a wide range of serious health issues. Cleaner air will help you sleep better and feel better overall. Your home will smell better. It will be less prone to dust accumulation, and you’ll keep your HVAC equipment cleaner thereby extending the life of the system.

Signs You Need an Air Purifier
Horn recommends an air purification system for all homes as a preventative measure, but there can also be indications that an air purifier is a particularly pressing need for your home. The signs include a dust mite infestation or dust accumulating at a rate that seems difficult to keep up with. If your family seems to get sicker more often than it should, air purification can help reduce the presence of viruses. It can also mitigate and in some cases eliminate allergy and asthma symptoms. You may also want to consider an air purifier if the air feels stuffy, you sneeze often, or you have a family member that snores loudly.
The Importance of Good Indoor Air Quality
The EPA now recognizes poor indoor air quality in our homes among the top five health risks facing Americans. Poor indoor air quality is linked to serious heart and lung conditions. Indoor air pollution not only exacerbates allergies and asthma but can play a role in those conditions manifesting. Households with an air purification system are less prone to getting sick. With better air quality, people enjoy better sleep and experience headaches and fatigue less often.
