If you’ve read our previous blogs or have ever read about indoor air quality, you know that without the right products or services in place, your indoor air quality can be worse than the quality of the air outside.

This means that you need air filtration and air purification systems to resolve this. Before you ask, no, your HVAC air filter is not enough to resolve any indoor air quality problems your living space may have. This is because this air filter is designed to protect the HVAC equipment itself from dust, dirt, and other debris that can do it harm.

But adding a whole-house air filtration system or air purifier to your household can certainly help improve your indoor environment. As for the answer to the question this blog post presents–whether or not you should run your air purifier all day–it actually depends.

The answer depends on if you have a whole-house air purifier, a portable one, what kind of filter it uses, and more. Read on to learn more!

Unfortunately, the truth is the air you’re breathing might not be as healthy as you think. You also might not be as comfortable as you could be. Many folks think that all they need for air filtration indoors is their HVAC air filter, but this air filter is meant to protect the equipment itself, not your indoor air!

No, for that, you’ll want to consider the installation of a whole-home air purifier. Read on to learn more!
