The Air You Can't See (But Definitely Breathe)
With smoke from wildfires in Canada sweeping through Western New York and Rochester, you start to wonder how damaging the air can be. You stay inside, close all of the windows, maybe turn the AC on, and think you are safe and protected. But the truth is, smoke from wildfires doesn't just stop at your front door. It finds a way in by sneaking through vents and gaps, and every time the door opens. And once it's inside, it stays and lingers!
Those indoor pollutants don't just make the air smell, but start to settle into carpets, couches, and your lungs. This could lead to asthma flare-ups, more allergy symptoms, and a higher chance of long-term respiratory issues for you and the people you live with. That’s not exactly the cozy home vibe you’re probably going for in your home.
So What's Actually Floating Around in There?
It may be hard to see, but through the air there's pollen, pet dander, dust mite droppings, mold spores, fumes from cleaning products, and now, with the recent wildfire season, smoke particles are slipping inside. Most of this is all invisible to the naked eye, with some of it being 10,000 times smaller than a human hair!! So how do you actually get rid of something you can't see?
Meet the Solution
An air purifier you can buy off the shelf usually doesn't meet your home's actual needs. They have a single, one-size-fits-all filter and call it a day. That means mold spores, VOCs, and viral particles, which are quite different in size and structure, can still pass through this single filter!
Instead of one catch-all filter, what if there were three? Each has a different job built to keep the air truly clean. That's the idea behind the Aspen Air Purifier!
As the air moves through all three filters, the big stuff, chemicals, and microplastics are captured. That's the difference between "cleaner air" and actually clean air.
And It’s Kind to Your Electric Bill
Besides helping to create clean air in your home, it doesn’t spike your energy bill! The Aspen uses EC fan technology, which means it uses up to 85% less electricity than a normal AC fan! So you don’t have to choose between clean air and a reasonable power bill!
The Bottom Line
Clean air shouldn’t be seen as a luxury, especially during the summers and this wildfire season. If the smoke outside has you wondering what's really floating around your home, it might be worth finding out and doing something about it.
