Why are more people buying home air cleaners?
People who buy air cleaners and home ventilation systems are concerned about the health, safety, and well being of themselves and their families. And they have increasing reason to be concerned about indoor air quality. After the energy crisis of the 1970s, the housing industry began building energy-efficient homes. Today, homes are tighter, better insulated, and have much less uncontrolled leakage of air through floors, walls, and ceilings. But tighter houses mean less natural air exchange. So pollutants and moisture are trapped once they enter, unless homes are well ventilated. This doesn’t mean that an older home can’t benefit from a home air exchanger. Even though an older home may provide more natural air exchange, that exchange may be spotty. In addition, older homes have a number of potential pollutants — lead dust, asbestos, and chemical residues to name a few — that newer homes may not have. In addition, any home — old or new — can have pollution that requires full mechanical
