Reasons You Should Care About the Air Inside Your Home
We all care about our family’s health and the quality of the air inside our homes. Allergies, illness, and long-term health can all be affected either in a positive or negative fashion depending on the quality of the air inside your home. According to the Environmental Protection Agency the air inside your home can be 2 to 10 times worse than the outside air. It is difficult for our immune system to keep up with the abundance of particles, germs and gases that are locked inside the tight, energy-efficient homes that are built with today’s construction methods.
Think about this: You know how when you see the sun’s rays streaming through a window and you can see all of the dust floating around in the sunbeam? There are millions of microscopic particles that float around in the air all the time. And those in the sunbeam are the ones that are actually big enough to see. Ninety eight percent of all airborne particles measure below 1 micron in size and are invisible.
Imagine breathing all of those in. Your body’s lungs are like a filter. They will filter out the larger particles, yet these smallest of particles that are potentially the most injurious to your health pass right through. Pristine Air® “protects your air space” by substantially reducing the harmful particles, bacteria, viruses, odors and chemical gases that are in the air you breathe.
What’s In Your Indoor Air?
Particles
Over 80% of HVAC breakdowns and service callbacks are related to particles including dirt, dust, smoke, pollen, and dander.
Germs
Germs, viruses, bacteria, and biologicals stick to surfaces and linger in the air inside your HVAC equipment without the right controls.
Gases
Gases and odors – including pet, smoke, and cooking odors, and chemical vapors and off-gassing – can lead to health problems.
The air in most homes has toxic contaminants, including pesticides, cleaning compounds, and other chemicals found in furniture and building materials. These can cause or worsen asthma, allergies, and other ailments. Pristine Air is here to substantially reduce these materials and more for cleaner, fresher, healthier air in your home.
