Can a Home Air Purifier System Protect You Against COVID-19?
Not so long ago, many Americans spent a large chunk of their waking hours away from home, heading out every day to schools, workplaces, shopping centers, and entertainment venues. Then the highly infectious disease known as COVID-19 swept the nation, changing people’s lifestyle habits seemingly overnight. The family home has become more than a refuge from the storms of everyday activity—it’s become the hive where just about all activity occurs, and many experts predict that it’s likely to stay that way, even after the COVID-19 pandemic subsides.
As a result, many homeowners are considering investing in a home air purifier for the first time. An effective air purifier has always been a worthwhile investment, especially in the Central Texas area, where an abundance of allergens cause misery for residents with sensitive respiratory systems. But what about the threat of coronavirus infection? Can it protect you against that?
Health care experts say it can—especially if you invest in a whole-house high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filtration system. HEPA filters have long been used in hospitals and by the tech industry to trap microscopic particles—including viruses—before they can contaminate the air in their facilities. The virus that causes COVID-19 is known to spread primarily through the air, so an effective air purifier is a smart way to protect your family against infection while in the home.
How to Get a High-Tech Air Purifier for Your Home
Although portable HEPA filters are available, the best way to fight COVID-19 is to have a sophisticated HEPA filtration system installed on your HVAC system. If you’re located in the Central Texas area, you can turn to Sweetwater Home Services for expert installation of a reliable HEPA filtration system.
