Having a comfortable home goes far beyond temperature settings. The quality of the air inside your house greatly affects your comfort and health. Tiny particles like mold, bacteria, and moisture can cause serious respiratory problems, while other contaminants like pet dander, pollen and dust can be irritating.
If you’re concerned about your home’s indoor air quality, give Anderson Heating, Cooling & Plumbing a call to discuss and see how a whole-home air purifier may be able to help.
Signs You Could Benefit from a Whole Home Air Purifier
Asthma or Hay Fever Symptoms
- Indoor air can contain many things that could trigger an asthma episode of coughing, wheezing, chest tightness, shortness of breath.
- Some common triggers in homes include dust, dust mites, animal dander, mold and mildew.
Consistently Missing Work or School Due to Respiratory Infections
- The size of allergenic mite and fungal populations in a home is directly dependent upon the relative humidity.
- Majority of adverse health effects caused by relative humidity would be minimized by maintaining indoor levels between 30 and 60%.
Combat Three Classes of Airborne Contaminants
- Particles - any substance measuring less than 100 microns in diameter is considered a particle. These particles include dust, pollen and pet dander.
- Bioaerosols and microorganisms - Microscopic organisms that grow and reproduce in warm, humid places are considered bioaerosols and microorganisms. These organisms include viruses, bacteria, mold spores, fungi and dust mites.
- Odors and chemical vapors - Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and indoor odors come from sources like cleaning supplies, solvents used in carpeting or furniture, paints, cooking smells and pet odors.

Unmatched Purification and Filtration
Enjoy unmatched purification and filtration with the AprilAire System. Three classes of air contaminants exist in homes that adversely affect indoor air quality.

- Particles (any substances measuring less than 100 microns in diameter) - Removes 99.9% of mold spores, pollen, dust and pet dander. Removes over 95% of fine particles absorbed by the lungs, including infectious airborne bacteria and smoke down to .3 micron.
- Bioaerosols and Microorganisms (microscopic living organisms that grow and reproduce in warm, humid places) - Removes more than 90% of bioaerosols down to 0.01 micron, including airborne viruses such as MRSA, flu and cold viruses.
- Odors/Chemical Vapors (air contaminants in the form of gases) - Destroys volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and odors from sources such as cooking smells, pet odors, cleaning products, and fumes from carpeting or furniture solvents and paints.

How Does the AprilAire System Work?
The AprilAire System uses a media filter and UV light. The PCO filter is coated with titanium dioxide that comes in contact with harmful pollutants. A UV light is shined onto the catalytic filter to create a reaction that destroys the pollutants.
Pros and Cons of the PureAir™ System
On the plus side, this technology has proven to be the most effective air cleaning option available, and as a result, is used in health settings and food processing for air cleaning.
This advanced air purifier uses multiple means of cleaning the air and is ideal for households where members have known breathing issues including asthma, allergies and COPD.
An additional benefit is that the PCO filter doesn’t hinder airflow, so your HVAC system won’t work much harder. The downside to this system is the higher cost of the PCO filters and the electricity cost to run it.
