If you’re welcoming a new baby into your Portland, OR home, congratulations! You’ve embarked upon one of the most fulfilling, and challenging, chapters in your entire life. Naturally, you want everything to be perfect for your new baby, whether it’s your first child or your eighth. A good HVAC and indoor air quality service can be the best friend you have. Here’s a few ways we can help you make your home clean and healthy.
Air Cleaners
Air cleaners run the gamut between simple filters that strain contaminants out of your air to electronic air purifiers that literally ionize every particle in the air and cause them to stick to a collection plate. They’re aimed at a general approach to keeping your home free of dust, and they use the regular cycling of your heater or air conditioner to filter your air gradually but thoroughly throughout the day. If you have filters, you can help by changing them once a month. For more elaborate systems make sure you use a qualified service not only to install it, but maintain it and repair it in order to keep it functioning at its peak.
UV Air Purifiers
While air cleaners deal with dust and dirt, UV air purifiers are designed to handle biological contaminants: specifically germs and bacteria that can make your baby sick. They use ultraviolet light to scrub the air clean as it cycles through your air conditioner or heater. The light is harmless to your child, your pets, and you, but kills germs and other unwanted creepy crawlies dead. More importantly, it sterilizes them so they can’t replicate. If you want to keep your home as germ-free as possible, we can’t recommend a UV air purifier highly enough.
