Canadian Wildfire Smoke Can Follow You Indoors
Canadian wildfires have become a summer tradition—and Michigan is on the receiving end of the smoke.
Even with a clean furnace filter, extremely small airborne particles can enter your home and reduce indoor air clarity. Mechanical Extremes offers an added layer of protection: the Air Scrubber by Aerus, installed directly into your home’s heating and cooling system.
How the Air Scrubber Helps
The system uses ActivePure® Technology to reduce airborne and surface contaminants as air circulates through the home. According to Aerus, the technology is designed to address particles, odors, bacteria, viruses and other contaminants that ordinary filtration may not fully capture.
ActivePure technology is based on a variation of technology originally developed for use aboard the International Space Station and is recognized as Certified Space Technology™ in its category.
Designed for Everyday Homes
The Air Scrubber by Aerus is designed for use around adults, children and pets. One unit can serve an HVAC system covering up to approximately 3,000 square feet. Homes with multiple, separate heating and cooling systems may require a unit for each system.
Homeowners should also remember that opening windows allows outdoor smoke, pollen and other contaminants to enter. When windows are open, it is generally best to turn off the heating or air-conditioning system rather than drawing additional outdoor air through the home.
A clean furnace filter remains important, but during wildfire-smoke events, additional air-cleaning technology can help create a fresher and more comfortable indoor environment.
Mechanical Extremes can evaluate your HVAC system and determine whether the Air Scrubber by Aerus is a good fit for your home.
