Fall is here and the leaves are showing their red, gold and orange colors. I was showing houses for sale in Hoover Alabama the other day and everywhere the color was amazing.
When the leaves start to fall, it is time to rake - or in many places BLOW. It always amazes me that people will blow the leaves off their property. Then as soon as the wind starts to blow, the leaves are right back.... Not only do they blow the leaves but also all the DUST. Dust is EVERYWHERE. I don't know about YOU, but my allergies are going crazy right now.
We can't do much about what is happening outside, but if you have allergies, installing an indoor air purification system can be a big help. What is an air purification system? It is a machine that cleans the air and improves air quality.
There are three classes of air contaminants:
Particles - such as pollen, dust mites, dirt and pet dander
Bioaerosols - such as bacteria, viruses, mold spores and fingi
Odors/Chemical Vapors - such as pets odors, cooking smells, perfumes, paints and solvents.
These contaminants affect your health, the cleanliness of your home and your comfort. Several years ago, my husband bought me a free standing air purifier for Christmas. It really helped cut down on the dust in the house. When we moved into our new house last year (it had been empty for a year), we found that the A/C ducts had all kinds of dust and stuff in them. So we had the ducts cleaned.
The Mayo Clinic has found that air cleaners attached to whole-house systems are generally more effective than free standing cleaners. These air purifiers are installed on your HVAC system typically where the air filter will be placed.
I sold a house a few years ago and the seller told me her allergies were almost GONE after she installed the whole house air purifier. So, if you are suffering from allergies, take a look at installing an air purification system.
This house in the Jameswood subdivision, off Valleydale Rd. in Birmingham Alabama, has a Lennox Signature Collection PureAir Air Purification System already installed. That coupled with the fact that it has All hardwood floors on Both levels of the house makes it a great home for people with allergies. If you'd like to know more about THIS home click here.
Fall is a beautiful time of year. Improving the air quality in your home will help you enjoy it more.
