Why should you install an air purifier?

Did you know that indoor air contains up to 5 times more pollutants than outdoor air? Since we spend about 85% of our time indoors, it is essential to do everything we can to minimize the pollutants that contaminate the air we breathe. At Confort Expert, leader in household energy (heating, air conditioning, heat pumps) as well as in air management in Montreal and the surrounding areas (Laval, South Shore, North Shore), we invite you to read this article to learn more about air purifiers.

An air purifier eliminates the particles that pollute your indoor air and affect your health

There are many kinds of contaminants inside each house. Does this mean that you breathe polluted air? The answer is… YES! In fact, several types of contaminants can release particles that reduce air quality:

• Mites
• Construction materials
• Mould
• Room odourizers
• Paints
• Pollen
• Household products
• Tobacco

All contaminants can affect your health and that of your loved ones. However, by adding an air purifier to your central heating or air conditioning system, you can eliminate polluting particles and reduce the risk of viral or bacterial diseases. You could even prevent respiratory allergies as well as some lung or heart problems, such as asthma and cardiac angina. So why do without it?

The best air purifier can improve air quality up to 95%

These days, you can find air purifiers at various price points. However, we strongly suggest to be careful and to educate yourself prior to purchasing an air purifier, because some models can release ozone, a gas that irritates the bronchi. In fact, Health Canada recommends against purchasing this type of air purifier. At Confort Expert, we opted for Lennox Healthy Climate air purifiers because they can improve indoor air quality by 85-95% and do not cause lung irritation.
