Air purifiers are a great way to clean the air. In addition to investing in your
health, they can help with allergies, unpleasant smells, snoring and more.
Here are seven signs it might be time to invest in an air purifier.
1. You can’t stop sneezing: Pet dander, pollen, and dust are just some of
the pollutants that could be floating around your house. The best air purifier
typically contains HEPA filters with high CADR ratings that will help you
filter out most if not all airborne allergens. If you are looking for an all-
round excellent air purifier that comes with a lifetime warranty and will
not break the bank, try the Alen Breathesmart.
2. Your house smells of varnish and disinfectants: Be sure to look
for air purifiers that can remove VOCs, or volatile organic compounds.
These harmful substances come from carpeting, adhesive, disinfectants,
and varnishes. If you see formaldehyde or benzene on any of your
household items’ ingredients, you are dealing with a VOC. Since
only certain models of air purifiers can filter VOCs, make sure
you get a model designed to clean them. The IQAir HealthPro Plus
is a heavyweight that removes VOCs as well. If you have a lot of
carpet in the house (notorious for trapping toxic particles), an air
purifier will help enormously.
3. Your air is stale and stuffy: If you breathe in and the air smells bad,
you might have poor quality indoor air. You can try an energy recovery
ventilator, but an air purifier will guarantee that you reduce any smelly,
foul odors that might be wafting through your home. If smoke is the issue,
the Austin Air Health Mate HM450+ is your best bet.
4. You see dust mites everywhere: Have you noticed a surplus of dust
building up under your bed or on the windows? Air purifiers will certainly
help to reduce the amount of dust around, though you will still need
o clean. Getting a decent vacuum cleaner is still important to having
clean and dust-free air, but air purifiers will also help a huge amount
with reducing the amount of mites that are calling your home their
home as well. Try getting a purifier that can run at higher speeds but
is still quiet, such as the Oransi V-HEPA Max.
The great thing about using an air purifier to get rid of dust mites is
that you will not have to clean as much; the unit will be doing most
of the work for you. To make sure you are getting rid of as much dust
as possible, clean the unit at least once a week.
5. You suffer from emphysema or COPD: Having a serious chest
condition might be a sign that you need an air purifier. Keeping the
level of household air pollution down as much as possible is critical,
especially with family members who might be exposed to second-
hand smoke.
People with COPD typically have sensitive airways. So they may
have problems with breathing and allergies as well, and cleaner air
will definitely help. Be sure to read the label of any purifier you
invest in, making sure it’s rated highly on the AHAM scale. This
tells you how well the cleaner filters dust, smoke, and pollen.
Compare the numbers by looking for the AHAM seal. For example,
the Coway AP-1512HH Mighty Air Purifier has won numerous
awards and has CADR ratings of 210.
6. You have a sick family member: Helping a sick family member
heal is made easier with the help of a purifier. They can breathe
fresher air and have better quality sleep, which will aid recovery.
7. You snore (loudly): Allergens like pollen and dander will cause
your airways to be more congested and that can contribute to snoring.
Make sure you change your air filters and use an air purifier. You
will find that you will gradually sleep better and snore less. Try to
get a model with slightly more square footage than you need so
you can keep the unit on a low setting.
