Question: My son was recently diagnosed with severe allergies to mold, pollen, and pet dander. Of course our main concern is his health, but we also have two dogs that are incredibly important to our family. Our doctor suggested we ask a HVAC contractor if there are any products out there that might help our son but also prevent us from having to give up our pets. Any suggestions?
Many people suffer from this dilemma, and fortunately if you have a traditional forced air furnace heating and cooling your home, solutions are available. When people living in a home have major allergies, the most important thing you can do is treat every cubic foot of air in the home with some type of whole house air purifier. It is important to understand that a whole home air purifier and a portable room air purifier are totally different. Make sure you spend the money on a solution that will work, and portable room air purifiers don’t clean enough air to be effective. Many companies make air purifiers, but Carrier and Aprilaire make two of the best. These units never have to be washed and can be installed into almost any home. Take it from someone with pets and allergies, these products are well worth the investment.
