Air Filtration: Signs A Home Is Full Of Germs

Frequent Colds

The common cold can be caused by a variety of different viruses, though rhinoviruses are by far the most common. These viruses can become airborne and are prevalent in densely-populated areas such as cities and suburbs. For that reason, home air filtration systems have filters designed to catch most of the airborne viruses that might enter a home. If a home’s occupants experience frequent colds, it could mean the air filters in that home need changing or even the whole system needs updating. The first step, of course, should be to change the filters and see if there are any changes before undergoing an overhaul and update of the filtration system itself.

Chronic Fatigue

The colds, sinus problems, and other minor illnesses associated with dirty air filters can cause quite a few issues with an individual’s sleep duration and quality. Disrupted sleep can cause individuals to feel fatigued throughout the day and even affect their cognitive function. While once in a while a disrupted night of sleep isn’t a big issue, when air filters need changing and this results in a prolonged period of disrupted sleep, it can be a significant issue. Even when cold symptoms or sinusitis is not present, individuals whose bodies are bombarded with an onslaught of germs can feel fatigued due to the extra effort their immune systems have to exert to fend off these invaders. Chronic fatigue could be a sign a home’s air filters need changing.
