Air purifiers are amazing to have in your home, especially during the season when you\u2019re most likely to spend long stretches indoors, with the windows closed, exposed to the germs your family members bring home. But getting an air purifier and having it installed won\u2019t guarantee clean air that lasts forever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What kind of upkeep do air purifiers need? How can you tell when there\u2019s a problem? Here are some tips about air purifier maintenance and repairs, so you\u2019ll know what you need to do and when to do it. Always rely on our professionals for air purification service in Plainfield, IL<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Air Filter Changes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While an air purifier is more than just an air filtration system, it does contain a filter. This will trap larger particles of dust, pet hair, pollen, and more. While your furnace and AC air filters need to be cleaned or swapped out about once a month, air purifiers have filters that are meant to last longer. They should generally be changed once a year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are significant benefits to making sure you don\u2019t wait too long to change your air purifier\u2019s air filter. First, it will keep dust in your home, floating down onto your surfaces or being inhaled into your lungs, to a minimum. Second, it will keep the purifier itself in better condition. Without the strain of a clogged filter, the purifier will last longer and be less likely to require repairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bulb Replacement<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

UV light is incredibly powerful stuff, able to sanitize all the air that passes through your home\u2019s HVAC system. But UV light bulbs don\u2019t last forever. Eventually, they will start to degrade, which causes the light output to decline. If you are concerned about your air quality or have noticed odors or mold growth increasing in your home, have your purifier checked to see if it needs a new bulb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Repairs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

How can you tell when your air purifier is in need of repairs? Aside from the things we just mentioned\u2014odors or mold\u2014here are the things to look out for. As with any system that has mechanical or electrical components, from your coffeemaker to your car, odd noises are a common sign that something is wrong. Excessive dust, insufficient airflow, too-frequently-clogged filters, or rising electric bills are other indicators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you do need air purifier repair, don\u2019t try to tackle it yourself. This is just not the right time to look for DIY videos online and pull out the toolbox. Save that for projects that don\u2019t have the risk of such costly or unsafe complications, like refinishing a piece of furniture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amateur attempts to repair parts of your HVAC system can result in damage to the piece of equipment itself, damage to the ductwork of your home, and even dangerous hazards like electric shock. If you have questions about filter changes or need to make an appointment for maintenance or repair, we\u2019ve got you covered.
