There's nothing worse than getting a cold or some other ailment, except when you get sick in the heat of spring and summer. Now you can add on allergies. You're already uncomfortable, but now you'll need to bundle up while the rest of your family turns down the thermostat to keep cool. Did you get sick from work or do you have a sore throat from poor air quality in your house? Well, you're a little sick because of work, but mostly sick from the poor air quality in your home. While you don't have much control about going to work and the germs and pollen you can pick up there, you can control the air quality in your house.
There are many ways to efficiently and inexpensively, in the long term, achieve good air quality and comfort within the confines of your home. The region where you live will determine what equipment will benefit you the most. The two or three pieces of equipment that will yield the best results are an electrostatic filter and an air conditioner. Air conditioners act as a whole-house dehumidifier or if you reside in an arid region then a humidifier would be better instead.
Very few homeowners have a dehumidifiers or humidifiers installed, yet most of us would benefit from their use. Dehumidifiers remove excess moisture from the air allowing the homeowner a much more comfortable atmosphere. Drier air feels cooler, so you don't need to keep the thermostat set quite as low, thus reducing your electric bill. Humidifiers, on the other hand, add moisture to an uncomfortably dry environment. Whether the home is in the arid deserts of Nevada, high altitude places like Denver, or the sticky delta region of Louisiana, the right unit will maintain a comfortable level of humidity for all.
An inexpensive electrostatic filter can be used in almost every single air conditioning system in use today. These filters are often good for a lifetime of use with minimal maintenance. The benefits of using an electrostatic filter are numerous. These filters trap airborne particulate matter, such as bacteria, pollen, dust, and so on because of the attraction to the electro-statically charged filter material. This translates to easier breathing and less irritants that cause us all to become ill. The only maintenance needed to ensure healthy breathing is periodically remove the filter, cleaning it with a mild detergent, hosing it off thoroughly, and allowing it to dry. Afterward reinstall the filter and breathe easier. Be especially sure that the entire filter unit is dry before you reinstall it, since the filter unit generates thousands of volts to charge and attract particles that pass through it. Installing a wet filter can be hazardous or deadly.
For the office, although you may have little control over your work environment, you can find inexpensive but effective portable air purifiers. Desktop and tabletop models are available if you are fortunate enough to have your own private office. If you work within a network of cubicles, a personal air purifier worn around your neck may be the better solution to keep the air clean in your "personal space." You'll feel better and be more productive if you can breathe better.
