Clearing the air about air cleaners: Whole-house vs. room

A few members of my family are allergy-prone, and I’d like to add air cleaning systems to our home. Are individual units okay, or is a whole-house units a better value?

When you consider that, in addition to naming indoor air pollution as one of the top five risks to public health, the EPA has found that indoor air can be up to 100 times more polluted than the air outside, an effective air cleaning system is good for everyone in your family!

Individual air purifiers and ionizers can make a dent here and there, but for more effective results, a whole-home unit is worth the bigger investment. For example, top-ranked Aprilaire Whole-Home Air Cleaners can be installed as part of your home’s HVAC system,  and remove several amazingly tiny, otherwise hard-to-stop contaminants such as pollen, mold spores and harmful bacteria. Look into these smart air quality solutions, and your whole clan will be breathing easier.
