No matter how clean you keep your home, your indoor air is likely full of pollutants that may be hazardous to your family's health. You can reduce the health risks to your family by controlling indoor air quality. Controlling biological contaminants, such as dust mites and pet dander, could reduce asthma cases by 55-60%.

The leading cause of poor indoor air quality is particulate matter, which includes dust mites, pollen, bacteria and viruses, dander, and mold spores.

Control Indoor Air Purity

The three most important methods of reducing indoor air pollution are source removal, increased ventilation, and air purification.

A whole-home air purifier, which is installed as part of your home's heating and cooling system, is the most effective way to treat the air in your entire home.  Aprilaire whole-home air purifiers permanently trap and kill 98% of airborne contaminants as small as one micro in size.
