Five Benefits of a Home Air Purifier

April 14, 2020 - Published by Scott's Air

According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Americans spend 90% of their time indoors. With recent events, I am sure that number has increased. Inside air can be significantly more polluted than outside air. With all the extra time we are spending at home, you might want to think about getting an air purification system. In this blog, we outline some of the benefits of an air purifier.

What is an Air Purifier?

An air purifier is a device that uses a system of fans to pull in your home air and clean that air by sending it through a series of filters that remove harmful pollutants. This process repeats every few hours assuring that your home air is constantly being filtered.

What are the Benefits of an Air Purifier?

Air purifiers can keep your home cleaner and fresher than ever before.

It Help Remove Sickness from the Air
- Air purifiers with HEPA filters and UV bulbs neutralize 99.97% of airborne germs. That includes particles that are coming from those in your home that have the flu or a cold. Some models have been proven to be effective against some of the most common pathogens including SARS, measles, and the avian flu.
It Makes Your Home Air Healthier
- On top of removing airborne germs, it also removes pesky allergens from the air. Air purifiers are a MUST for those with asthma, lung issues, and/or bad allergies. Even those without those ailments can develop issues over time by regularly being exposed to smoke, pet dander, and/or dust. Air purifiers reduce the effect those particles have on your lungs and body leading to much healthier home life.
Odor Control
- Whether you have pets, smoke, or cook a lot of foods with strong odors, air purifiers can help reduce how much those odors take over your home. Odors live in airborne particles. As the home air enters the purifier, filters trap those airborne particles producing fresh, odor-free air as it exits the device. No longer will you have the “smelly” house on the block.
A Cleaner Home
- It may seem odd that an air purifier can clean more than, well… the air. However, the air carries dust particles (mostly skins flakes) that eventually settle onto your floors. This is the dust that you typically wipe up during your regular cleaning. Air purifiers grab these particles from the air before they hit the ground, reducing how much dust accumulates around your home.
Less Strain on Your AC Unit
- By removing pollutants and dust particles from your home air, air purifiers are actually making it easier for your AC unit to do its job. AC filters are meant to also reduce contaminants from the air, but they aren’t as sophisticated (typically) as an air purifier. Air purifiers do the bulk of the work, allowing your AC unit to focus more on cooling and heating.

It’s Time to Think About an Air Purification System

To reiterate – we spend roughly 90% of our lives indoors. Breathing in dirty pollutants and contaminants every day can lead to serious health problems over time. Air purifiers can keep your home cleaner and fresher than ever before. If you are interested in buying an air purifier for your home, give us a call so we can identify the perfect system for you.

UPDATE 12/11/25-
Mr. Scott, the owner took the time to speak with me the day before to take ownership of the unfortunate event, and to rectify it, he personally came over to speak to me and issued a refund for the blower motor replacement to honor me being a customer and purchasing the unit from them in recent times. This speaks a lot about his integrity and customer centric approach. Even though I didn’t hear from them initially for a few months, this was a great gesture in difficult times, and I appreciate this, therefore updating my review.

STAY AWAY!!!

I purchased a new AC system from Scott’s Air & Heat in 2022 for approximately $7,000. Since then, I have already spent over $1,500 on repairs in 2 years. Despite the system having a 10-year parts warranty, I was charged $650 for labor alone to replace a blower motor—a repair that took about one hour to complete. Another reputable company quoted $500 total, including both parts and labor, for the same job.

Additionally, I was charged $258 for the same issue just a week prior, and when the problem recurred, the company billed me again instead of honoring their previous service. Attempts to reach the owner or manager for a resolution went unanswered.

Overall, I found their pricing to be excessive and their customer service severely lacking. I would not recommend this company based on my experience.

Response from the owner:Hi, Thank you for taking Scott's call today & allowing us to make this right. We're looking forward to meeting you tomorrow with the hopes of being able to earn your 5-star rating. We genuinely care for our customers and their families and want you to be 100% satisfied. Thank you again.

It’s been a long process, but Scott did call personally to make sure that our ac unit was working properly. They even upgraded to the correct size unit we needed after many repairs and issues. I appreciate the follow through and transparent communication! They will make sure to follow up and help when needed. Thank you Scott and team!!!!

Response from the owner:Hi Robin, Thank you so much for giving us an opportunity to make this right. We're happy to hear your system is running good now & we were able to turn your experience around. Thank you for trusting us with your home.

Same day update! I want to applaud Scott, the owner, for contacting me about my concerns regarding the labor charge for our last job. It was a disappointment that I had to have such an expensive charge on a relatively new unit. However, we talked about it, and he’s going to try to help. I appreciate any owner who listens to customers and wants to try to make things right. Thank you, Scott. I guess I don’t have to shop around for a new AC company for now.

Just to clarify. My response says that I’m frustrated to pay for labor for a warranty repair. I didn’t understand this was a warranty repair and I always am fine with paying for labor if a job is done. I believe my review explains my frustration with flat fees no matter how long the job takes.

Update today. The price that was quoted me was not only labor. They are charging flat fees for jobs. This is a change from the past with HVAC companies , but with more explanation and a little flexibility, I think we will stay with Scott’s for the time being. We’ll see how it goes. They still remain extremely responsive and professional and kind. This is worth something. They also come quickly when you have a problem.

This is a big change in my review for this company. Over the past five years things have changed. The company I used to trust I am now very skeptical of. They no longer charge labor by the hour so that you pay more for something that is more difficult and less for something that is less difficult. Just flat fees. And extremely high ones at that! Guess I’m looking for a new company now.

Response from the owner:Hi Karon, Thank you for trusting us with your home all these years. I can understand your frustration in having to pay labor for a warranty repair. The warranty from the manufacturer (not us) only covers the part itself. We value our customers and our community & want to make sure we take care of you and your home. We've left you a message & hope you'll return our call so we can make this right.
