Your home’s indoor air quality is important. Indoor pollution can not only cause health issues, but poor indoor air quality can negatively impact those with allergies and asthma as well. The highly experienced HVAC Contractors of Vanport Mechanical can help.

Air Purifiers

As air circulates through your home, viruses, mold spores, and bacteria are also spread — which can trigger allergies or make you sick. One of the best solutions to combat this is with a UV light air purifier. UV light air purifiers work in your home’s ductwork to remove airborne particles including pollen and dust, as well as odors from food and pets.

Air Cleaning Systems

Electronic air cleaners are a type of air cleaning system that uses electrostatic precipitators and ionizers to trap contaminants in the air similar to a magnetic like attraction. They are highly effective in removing dust, soot, mold spores, bacteria, and even viruses from your home.

Ionizers vs. Air Cleaners

Whether you have respiratory problems or you’re just looking to improve your indoor air quality, you may be considering purchasing an ionizer or air cleaner. However, it’s important to be careful and do your research before selecting one, or else you could end up cause more harm than good.

Wildfire Smoke Prevention

Poor indoor air quality can take a toll on your body. In many cases, smoke particles can cause itchy eyes, sneezing, and congestion.

Air Filters
