Beat Seasonal Allergies with Air Purification

June 24, 2015

It’s the sneeziest time of the year, allergy season. Spring has sprung and pollen is in the air. If you’re tired of spending the season itching your eyes and sneezing, an air purification system may help alleviate some of the irritation.

Allergens and irritants aren’t only found outdoors. In fact, indoor air is possibly more polluted than outdoor air and we’re spending around 90% of our time indoors. The ragweed, pollen and dust from the outside air transfers to your inside air. An air purifier will destroy those irritants and particles from your home’s air. In fact, Lennox’s Pureair® Air Purification system combats all three different indoor air pollutants; airborne particles, germs and bacteria and chemical odors and vapors. It filters your home’s air better than any other single system you can get.

There are also a few things you can do as a homeowner to help combat the irritants in your home.

  • Remove your shoes before coming inside.
  • Purchase a vacuum with a HEPA filter and use it regularly.
  • If you’ve been working out in the yard or garden, clean up.
  • If you have a dog or any pets that go outdoors, bathe and brush them frequently.

You may be curious what the difference is between air filtration and an air purification system. Air filters are part of another system and are not capable of killing as many pollutants as an air purifier. Air purifiers are a three-part system in and of themselves and comprise of a normal air filter, UVA light and a metal insert that is lined with a light-activated catalyst.
