Spring in Wisconsin is beautiful, but the change in seasons means sneezing, coughing, and itchy eyes for many of us. With trees budding and flowers blooming outside and spring cleaning happening inside, pollen, dust, leftover winter germs, and other allergens flood the air. Your indoor air quality can take quite the hit.
If you want to enjoy the warmer weather without suffering from poor indoor air, UV light air purifiers and electronic air cleaners are game-changers. These powerful systems work with your HVAC system to keep your home’s air cleaner, healthier, and easier to breathe—especially during peak allergy season.
What Is a UV Light Air Purifier?
A UV (ultraviolet) light air purifier uses UV-C light to quickly kill or neutralize microscopic particles that could be floating through the air and your HVAC system. As the air passes over the UV light, it destroys airborne viruses, bacteria, and mold spores, so fewer of those irritants are recirculated into your home.
Benefits of UV Light Purifiers For Wisconsin Homeowners
- It kills mold, bacteria, and viruses, and it is great for preventing those annoying spring colds.
- Reduces unpleasant odors from mildew, pets, or cooking.
- Lowers allergy triggers like mold spores that thrive in damp basements or ductwork.
What Is an Electronic Air Cleaner?
An electronic air cleaner uses an electric charge to trap and remove dust, pollen, smoke, and pet dander from your air. The air passes through a filter that catches larger particles and moves through an electrically charged section that zaps smaller particles, causing them to stick to collector plates inside the unit. You can easily clean these plates to keep the system working at its best.
Benefits of Electronic Air Cleaners for Wisconsin Homeowners
- Captures up to 99% of airborne particles, including allergens like pollen.
- Helps reduce asthma and allergy symptoms.
- Improves airflow in your HVAC system, which can help with energy efficiency.
Why Improve Your Indoor Air Quality in Wisconsin This Spring
Wisconsin springs are unpredictable. With the dramatic temperature shifts and precipitation, we tend to keep windows closed, which impacts ventilation. That’s when UV air purifiers and electronic air cleaners become especially helpful in fighting dust, germs, pollen, and other allergens.
Combat Seasonal Allergies
Pollen, mold, and dust are often at their highest in the spring, which is no fun for allergy sufferers. Electronic air cleaners and UV purification systems can reduce irritants, providing some much needed relief in your home.
Fight Springtime Germs
After spending the long Wisconsin winter trapped inside, viruses and bacteria can linger in ductwork. UV lights can help eliminate them, creating a healthier space for you and your loved ones. (They’re especially helpful if you have children who tend to bring home all those school germs all year long!)
Boost Indoor Comfort
Even if you don’t have allergies or other concerns, you’ll likely notice an immediate difference with your electronic air cleaner or UV purification system. The clean air feels fresher and helps your whole home feel more comfortable, especially on damp, rainy days.
