Why Do Household Odors Linger?

Household odors aren't always easy to identify because they result from microscopic particles in the air. They could stem from bacteria, pet dander, mold spores, or other volatile organic compounds (VOCs). While you can use candles and sprays to help mask these odors, they only provide temporary solutions—and also add more chemicals to your air. The real answer? Air cleaner systems and purifiers.

How Do Air Cleaner Systems Clean Your Whole Home?

Air cleaners work in tandem with your HVAC system to help capture contaminants and prevent them from recirculating through your home. They are different from air purifiers, another type of system that eliminates pollutants from your home air.

However, both of these units have major benefits besides just odor removal. They allow for a healthier home that's free of bacteria and cold- and illness-causing viruses. Cleaners and purifiers can also eliminate dirt and dust that builds up in your ductwork, resulting in more efficient home heating and cooling. These systems are more crucial in homes where family members have respiratory health issues or those with pets.

Other Solutions for Cleaner Air

ComfortAire offers other air cleaner systems to consider as well. One example is UV lights. These work within your HVAC ductwork to zap away microbes and other contaminants with ultraviolet light. The process improves air quality, reduces odors, and clears an unobstructed path for air to flow.

Duct cleaning is another method used to clean your ductwork and any associated odors. Not only will this service improve your home's cleanliness, but it can also increase HVAC efficiency:  According to the U.S. Department of Energy, homeowners lose up to 40 percent of heating and cooling energy inside ductwork.
