Are Whole House Air Cleaners Worth It?

August 24, 2015

If you suffer from allergies, whether they be seasonal or year round, or you have asthma, you understand what it is like to have problems breathing, itchy eyes, stuffy noses, and other miserable symptoms. Dirty air entering your home can contribute to these symptoms and may also increase the risk of illness throughout the year.

There is a lot of debate out there as to whether whole house air cleaners or whole house air purification systems actually work. The answer lies in the health of those living in your home.

If everyone in your home is perfectly healthy and no one suffers from allergies, asthma or respiratory infections, then you can probably will not recognize many of the benefits these systems afford–although that doesn’t mean they don’t still have a positive impact on your long term health!

However, if you do have family living in your home that suffer from any of the above ailments then cleaner air can certainly help improve their health, making the cost of purchasing an air cleaner well worth it. Frequent doctor visits and medications can add up quickly in cost, so treating the root cause by improving your indoor air quality may actually save you money in the long run while also making you feel better–which is something you cannot put a price tag on.

Symptoms of Poor Indoor Air Quality

Dirty air within the home can cause many ailments, these may include symptoms like:

  • Headaches
  • Difficulty breathing
  • Nausea
  • Itchy eyes
  • Stuffy or running nose
  • Repeated respiratory infections
  • Insomnia
  • Lethargy
  • Persistent cough

If you or anyone in your home is experiencing any of these symptoms it could be due to poor air quality in your home. Spending money on medications and quick fixes is likely adding up throughout the year. Investing in a whole house air cleaner or whole house air purification system could be well worth the upfront cost.
