What can be installed to improve indoor air quality?

Installing an air purifier or UV light system is an effective way to improve indoor air quality. Air purifiers are designed to capture and filter out airborne particles, including dust, pollen, pet dander, and other allergens, which can help reduce exposure to harmful pollutants and improve overall air quality. They often use HEPA filters or activated carbon to effectively remove these contaminants, making the air cleaner and safer to breathe.

UV light systems work by using ultraviolet light to kill or inactivate microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, and mold spores that can be present in the air or on surfaces. When integrated into an HVAC system, UV lights can help to sterilize the air circulating through the system, further enhancing the quality of indoor air.

While heaters, dehumidifiers, and window units can contribute to climate control and comfort, they do not specifically target airborne pollutants or allergens to the same extent as air purifiers and UV light systems. Heaters primarily provide warmth, dehumidifiers reduce excess moisture, and window units primarily serve as air conditioning units. Therefore, the option to install an air purifier or UV light system is the most direct approach to enhancing indoor air quality and addressing potential health issues related to air contamination.
