ASK THE EXPERTS

With all that's been going on during 2020, I'm getting more
and more concerned about the air that my family is breathing. Is there anything we can do at home to ensure that we
are breathing healthy air?

Common contaminants include allergens like pollen and dust, germs, bacteria,
viruses, and gasses such as carbon monoxide (CO). At Haller we can help keep
your air free and clear of these pollutants so you and your family can stay safe
and healthy!
Why is Air Quality so Important?
It can sometimes be hard to tell if you have poor indoor air quality. Here are
some indicators of poor air quality to watch for:

Coughing and sneezing
Fatigue
Hypersensitivity to allergies
Sinus congestion
Dizziness
Nausea
Frequent headaches

It's more likely you'll experience poor air quality if you have pets or are remodeling inside your home. In order to stay healthy, take the time to evaluate your air
quality so you can keep it as clean as possible.
Indoor Air Filter and Purification Options.
The filters on central and ductless heating and cooling systems can help filter
pollutants out of your home's air. If your home has a standard 1" filter, you may
want to consider upgrading to a media filter. A media filter is a large fiber filter
that captures 99% of pollen with ease. Its layered design will hold far more dust
and dirt than regular filters and it lasts longer. You'll see consistent air quality
improvement over the entire life of your media filter. In addition to upgrading
your filter, if you have a system with ductwork you might want to consider having
a Haller technician install an Air Scrubber by Aerus.
The Air Scrubber attaches directly to your heating and cooling system's ductwork and uses a UV light combined with an Advanced Oxidation Process to
remove contaminants, harmful gasses, germs, and bacteria. Once installed, you
can rest easy knowing that the Air Scrubber will eliminate any harmful substances that have become airborne in your home-and that will keep you and your
family safe and healthy.

Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless, poisonous gas that's a byproduct of
