If you suffer from allergies or asthma, an air purifier is a great way to clean the air in your home. They are a great help in reducing airborne allergens such as mold, pet dander and pollen spores. However, depending on where you live, the air in your home may be either very dry or too damp. Although an air purifier is a great investment, no matter what your climate, there are a couple of other things you can do to help it do an even better job.

If you suffer from any form of allergy, you will no doubt be aware that medications prescribed by your doctor will only go so far in helping your health issues but they certainly do not stop your suffering altogether. If this is the case, maybe an air purifier is just what you need to back up your current medication.

The amazing abilities of the UV or ultraviolet air purifier is undeniable, but is the same ultra-violet light technology also useful when it comes to purifying your ducts? UV light is a natural air purifier, capable of killing molds, yeasts and viruses. In addition, this natural purifier is available free because the sun emits it. However, as most people live indoors and not out in the sun, how can you use this naturally occurring air cleaner in your home.

If you have severe allergies and noise is an issue, then your best bet is to use an air purifier that uses a HEPA filter, such as the Blueair air cleaners. Noise levels from the Blueair register at just 32 dBa, which is comparable to a soft whisper when on low. When on high, this air purifier still only registers at 64 dBa, which is about as loud as a refrigerator.
