The one thing we do all day every day is breathe. When we do this, we are involuntarily introducing outside air into our bodies. Ideally, all that would be in this outside air is oxygen but, in reality, there is so much more entering our bodies when we inhale. Heat Pumps, or air conditioning units that warm or cool your air, may be effective at what they do but an unwanted biproduct of their function is to circulate ‘dirty air’. Similarly, ventilation systems may be efficient at dealing with moisture extraction and maintaining temperature but an overlooked disadvantage is that they often use air from the roof space with its associated impurities.
Contaminants in the Air
Children under the age of 18 are significantly more likely to be diagnosed with chronic allergies and asthma while their immune systems are not yet as strong as an adult’s. Irritants and pollutants in our air, such as mould, dust, smoke, pollen, smog, pet dander and chemicals, are ever increasing. Unfortunately, your home may not be the refuge you believe it to be. Evidence suggests that the air in our homes may be two to five times more saturated with these allergens than the air outside.
Enhancing your home with an Air Purifier
Anyone with air-borne allergies, or living with a smoker, or living around a chemical-intensive commercial area will immediately notice improvements in air quality when an air purifier enters their life.
An air purifier offers a perfect solution when someone in your family wants a pet, but a parent gets asthma from animal dander.
Asthma currently afflicts around 1 in 6 Kiwis. This is a chronic respiratory condition often resulting from an allergic reaction that may be relieved by a home air purifier.
As polluted air flows into an air purifier, contaminants are efficiently eliminated. When the fresh, clean air flows out, it transforms your home, your lungs, your health and your life!
