Air Purifiers vs. Air Cleaners

Your home should be a safe and healthy place for you and your family to reside. Unfortunately, many people fail to realize that the air quality inside of their home is less than ideal, resulting in side effects like getting sick, wheezing, increased fatigue, dry throat, nausea, headaches, and lung damage, just to name a few. At Blue Frost Heating & Cooling, not only are we providers of heating and cooling in Carol Stream, but we are also committed to helping you and your family improve your indoor air quality. Both air purifiers and air cleaners can help do this, but there is a difference between the two.

Air Purifiers

Air purifiers target small particles such as allergens, dust, mold, and more. Purifiers may also get rid of pollen, pet dander, dust mites, ash, mold, mildew, fungus and more. This process occurs through UV germicidal lamps, and it requires only a small amount of energy in order to run. Plus, air purifiers are easy to maintain.

Air Cleaners

Similar to air purifiers, air cleaners help eliminate a wide variety of allergens, dust and pollutants. However, this process is completed with a high efficiency particulate air filter. This pulls material out of the air and presses it into a filter so it will not be circulated throughout your home.

Our heating and cooling company in Carol Stream is happy to help find the right products that will improve your family’s air quality. This is a simple step that you can take that will have a big impact on your health! Call us today to get started.
