Ultraviolet Air Purifier for a Cleaner Home

While insulating your Michigan home is often recommended to reduce heating costs and maintain optimal home comfort, it can actually cause some issue with regards to the air quality within your home. Well-insulated homes often trap unwanted particles and volatile organic compounds inside, which will ultimately be circulated through your cooling system. With this, we recommend our fellow Michigan homeowners utilize an ultraviolet air purifier to keep the air quality within the home optimal.

Having said that, Applegate offers Honeywell's 24V Ultraviolet Air Purifier to Michigan residents seeking cleaner air within the home. If you haven't considered the air quality in your home, now's a good time to learn how it can affect those inside. Plus, with the aforementioned air purifier, you can achieve clean air with ease. Take a moment to learn more about our ultraviolet air purifier and the effects of airborne particles.

Air Pollutants within Your Michigan Home

While it may be surprising, poor indoor air quality is actually considered one of the top environmental health risks. Depending on the type of pollutant and how well your home is insulated, these airborne particles can cause a variety of adverse health effects. Oftentimes, the source of poor air quality can be appliances, such as your stove, but are most commonly things like dust mites and mold. To get an idea of the types of pollutants or particles that could be affecting your home, view the table below:

As you can see, whether it be the result of painting a room in your home or just your average dust accumulation, the air inside your Michigan home can easily become polluted with unwanted particles, which could ultimately lead to health effects. For instance, mold is known to cause respiratory illnesses as the cooling system in your home can spread the mold spores throughout. Fortunately, an air purifier can help eliminate the aforementioned particles and pollutants.

Ensuring Cleaner Air: Applegate's Ultraviolet Air Purifier

As mentioned, we offer Honeywell's 24V Air Purifier here at Applegate, which is designed to safely remove airborne particles from your home. Plus, the air purifier features Honeywell's AirBright™ Odor Absorption to further clean the air. The UV light allows for energy efficiency as well, so you can keep energy costs down as you work to keep the air in your home clean. In essence, a UV filter is always good practice, however, it's recommended for homes with the following:

  • AC Unit
  • Humid Climate (key for Michigan homeowners)
  • Pets, Appliances, and other sources of odors


How the UV Air Purifier Works

Because mold spores are a common occurrence in regards to poor air quality, the UV air purifier is designed to eliminate mold spores on the air conditioning coil, which helps improve airflow. The AirBRIGHT™ system, on the other hand, utilizes ultraviolet rays and carbon cells to capture odor-causing particles and transforms them into harmless water vapor. With little to no maintenance required, the UV air filter allows you to carry on with daily life as it works to keep the air within the home clean and free of harmful particles.
