Indoor Air Quality is Key

Posted on | by 360 AIR TECH

Indoor air quality is crucial because we spend a lot of time in our homes. In that indoor environment, the air we breathe in that space plays a big role in our health. Having a well-organized, clean, and safe home, or workspace reduces stress. The air that you are breathing in has just as much impact on your health and well-being. Regardless, it is often overlooked because it is not something you see. Indoor air can often contain more pollutants than outdoor air because the indoor is trapped in a smaller space.

How To Improve the Indoor Air Quality in Your Home or Office

There are many ways to improve the indoor air quality in your home or workplace. Following are some of the different types of filters available, and a little bit about how they work.

HVAC Air Filters

The easiest thing to do to improve the quality of the air you breathe is to change the filter in your HVAC system regularly. HVAC filters are designed to trap dust, mold, mildew, pet dander, and other irritants as the air in space is cycled through the HVAC system. However, when that filter is clogged, it can no longer do its job. In this situation, the HVAC system works harder to push air through the clogged filter. Depending on the quality of the filter, a good timeline for changing your HVAC filter, typically, varies from 3 to 6 months. If you live in a home with pets, smokers, an area with heavy pollen, or someone with extreme allergies, change your filters more often. Filters are extremely easy to change. You can even sign up for a service to have them automatically delivered to your home. No need to keep track of the calendar - when the new filter arrives, it’s time to change out the existing one.

Air Purifiers

Air purifiers are designed to filter and clean the air in a single room by filtering out allergens and pollutants by up to 50%. So, while a traditional HVAC filter works for the whole home, it does not pick up a lot of the irritants floating around in the air. Air purifiers are able to filter out smaller particles and improve air quality. If you have a family member with breathing issues or allergies, consider placing an air purifier in their bedroom, or in areas of the home where they spend a lot of time. There are 6 different types of air purifiers, and each operates in different ways. Each type has its own strengths, and each is designed for specific airspace with a certain efficiency. At 360 Air Tech, we help you determine which type is the best fit for your home or office.

Air Scrubbers

Traditional HVAC filters need to be replaced to be functional and only remove particles that are large enough to get stuck in the filter. Air purifiers only really work in a specific space. If you are looking for something more heavy-duty than a simple filter, consider installing an air scrubber. Air scrubbers work with your existing HVAC system and are designed to clean all of the air circulating through the HVAC system. Through the use of UV light and photocatalyst targets, air scrubbers create an Advanced Oxidation Process. This oxidation process significantly reduces surface microbial populations.

Air Scrubbers also reduce odor by removing the bacteria that cause smells within the space - whether from cooking, the dog, or your teenager. Workplaces also benefit from odor reduction. Many spaces have their own unique smell, based on what is being produced, harsh cleaning supplies, or even from the copier. An air scrubber will reduce or remove these odors.

Is Air Quality in My Home and Workplace Really That Important?

What are we breathing in on a daily basis? Is indoor air quality really that important? How does it affect our health and quality of life? When you consider how much time we spend in our homes and workplaces, it makes sense that indoor air quality should be something that every homeowner should be conscious to manage. Making a small change to your home or workplace can lead to big benefits later down the road. Whether you opt to change your HVAC filter more regularly, or you want to purchase an air purifier or Air Scrubber, we can help!

We all want to keep our loved ones safe and in good health. Eating well and exercising is important part of maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Our environment also plays a big role in our health - both mental and physical. Having a well-organized, clean, and safe home or workspace reduces stress and improves our quality of life.

How the Aerus Air Scrubber Works?

Aerus Air Scrubber

The Aerus Air Scrubber is a great addition to any home or workspace. Traditional HVAC systems clean the air in a space by running it through a filter. However, filters need to be replaced to be functional and they only remove air particles that are large enough to get trapped in the filter. The Air Scrubber is much more effective in cleaning the air, by using ActivePure® Technology. Through the use of UV light and photocatalyst targets, the Air Scrubber is able to create an Advanced Oxidation Process that significantly reduces the microbial population on surfaces.

How Long Do Air Scrubbers Last?

Aerus air scrubbers can last anywhere from 10 to 20 years, depending on the model and how often it is used. Aerus air scrubbers are built to last, and with proper care, they can provide years of clean air. When it comes time to replace your Aerus air scrubber, be sure to contact Aerus to find out the latest models and options.

Is It True That The Aerus Air Scrubber Eradicates Mold?

The Aerus air scrubber is effective at removing mold and other allergens from the air. In fact, the Aerus air scrubber is one of the only air scrubbers on the market that has been certified by the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America. With an Aerus air scrubber, you can breathe easy knowing that your home is free of harmful allergens.

Breathing is such a key part of life, but we often take it for granted. What are we breathing in on a daily basis? How does it affect our health and quality of life? Making a small change to your home or workplace can lead to big benefits later down the road. Installing an Air Scrubber by Aerus will improve the air quality of your home or your workplace by removing odors, allergens, and bacteria.

Benefits of Air Scrubber Technology

Air scrubbers offer a variety of benefits by reducing the number of pollutants and irritants, reducing odors, and lessening bacteria. They are a more effective choice than a common HVAC filter, and definitely worth consideration.

  • Reduces Odor: Many of us may not realize how stale the air in our homes can become, especially during the summer and winter when windows stay closed. Have you ever come home from a trip and noticed a stuffy smell when you came in the door? ActivePure® Technology is able to remove the bacteria that causes odors. Workplaces can also benefit from odor reduction. So, odor reduction is a benefit of using an air scrubber in both the home and office.
  • Helps Minimize Allergies/Asthma: If you or a loved one suffer from allergies or asthma, you know firsthand how frustrating irritants can be. Runny noses, watery eyes, constant sneezing, or wheezing breath are no fun to live with. Keep your family and your employees healthy with the Air Scrubber, all year round. Unlike a traditional HVAC filter, the Air Scrubber can remove significantly more particles from the air. This means you are breathing in fewer irritants. Breathing clean air means a much more healthy and happy home and workplace.
  • Lowers Microbial Populations: No matter how much you vacuum, dust, mop, or steam clean, there will always be bacteria. It is a part of everyday life because much of it travels through the air. That giant sneeze your child just let out? The microscopic particles are floating through the air, right onto the counter where you prepare dinner. Every time your cat scratches itself, dander and skin particles take flight. Whether we think about the bacteria in the air around us, or we ignore it, it is still there. Indoor air is circulated throughout a space, so you are constantly breathing in the same bacteria. However, the Aerus Air Scrubber could be the answer. ActivePure® Technology uses UV light to kill the bacteria as it passes through, so you can breathe easier.

Can Aerus Air Scrubbers Be Installed Directly Into Existing Ductwork?

Yes, Aerus air scrubbers can be installed directly into existing ductwork. This means that there is no need to tear apart your home or install new ductwork - Aerus air scrubbers can be easily added to your existing system. Plus, Aerus air scrubbers are designed to fit seamlessly into your home's décor.
