The air purifier will help to safely remove toxins that might be circulating throughout your home
Currently, the air quality in my city is terrible due to smoke from wildfires that have been burning for a few weeks now. You can see the haze from the smoke in the sky and the air quality is so bad that the experts are advising us to wear masks. Especially those with asthma or respiratory issues as breathing in the smoke can lead to further complications. Aside from wearing a mask, the experts also mentioned that it was ok to run our HVAC units while the air quality is bad outside. This advice caught me by surprise because I was thinking that I should stop using my HVAC unit until after the air quality improves. Turns out, if you’re like me and you have a central HVAC, it will circulate and filter the indoor air, so the toxic air from outside will not get pulled into the unit. Of course, it is best to make sure that the air filter is clean to guarantee that the indoor air is being filtered optimally. On the other hand, if you have a window air conditioner, it is not recommended to use it while the air quality is bad outside. The unit will pull the toxic air from outside into your home with very little filtration. If you must use a window air conditioner, then it would be in your best interest to purchase an air purifier as well. The air purifier will help to safely remove toxins that might be circulating throughout your home. All in all, I am glad that it is safe to use my HVAC unit, but I am hoping that the air quality will be back to normal soon.
