In cold Minnesota springs, homeowners in the Twin Cities keep their windows and doors closed to maintain warmth in their houses. However, this practice can lead to the accumulation of indoor air pollution, which poses significant health risks, as stated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Indoor air pollution can give rise to various serious health problems, including allergies, asthma, viral and bacterial infections, and respiratory issues caused by inhaling harmful gases like smoke and chemical fumes.

If you experience persistent allergies or respiratory problems, it is advisable to take steps towards improving the quality of your indoor air. One effective method to combat indoor air pollution is by installing a whole-house purification system, such as an electronic air cleaner. This device is integrated into your home’s HVAC system and works by employing an ionizer to charge particles present in the air. These charged particles then adhere to oppositely charged plates, effectively trapping and removing harmful substances from the indoor air. Unlike small portable air cleaners that only purify the air in one room, electronic air cleaners purify the air flowing into every room. They can effectively eliminate dust, mold spores, pollen, and various other allergens.

Installing an air purification system, including an electronic air cleaner, is a simple task for a Columbia Heights heating and cooling contractor. Such systems work in conjunction with your HVAC system and filters. Additionally, it is worth considering the installation of an ultraviolet air filter along with your electronic air cleaner. Ultraviolet lights have the ability to eliminate bacteria, mold spores, and other biological pollutants that electronic air cleaners may not effectively treat.
