	Air Quality The problems with indoor air quality are more recognized everyday. We are all affected by the quality of our air. If you suffer from allergies, headaches, fatigue, or any number of other symptoms, the quality of your homes air might be to blame. Some common pollutants that could be hampering the quality of your life are mold, bacteria, dust mites, and pollens just to name a few. The air quality systems you’ll find at Thornton’s are top of the line. We offer a variety of air filtration systems using HEPA, media and electronic filters. We also offer systems that use ultraviolet light to kill harmful pollutants. Media filters are large filters that can be attached to your forced air system. These thick filters prevent harmful materials from being re-circulated through your home. HEPA are efficient filtration devices that trap 99.97% of particles that pass through (0.3 microns or larger) so they are not allowed to be re-circulated. A powerful fan channels a variety of particles through the HEPA air filter, including dust, pollen, mold spores, and other allergens. Electronic air purifiers charge the particles in the air and then attract them back into the system. They are safe and can be cleaned quickly and easily. Electronic filters also take away the need to replace filters on a regular basis. UV light changes the DNA makeup of the cells that are in your air. This alteration disables organisms such as viruses, bacteria, and mold, and prevents them from being able to reproduce. In addition, these pollutants are pulled back in and disposed of. Many filtration systems pull all particles out of the air, including humidiy (water) that is in the air. Humidity is important in keeping your body hydrated which prevents dry, scratchy throats and dry skin. We can also install humidifiers that you can use in conjunction with your air purification system to keep your home and body at their maximum comfort level. Thornton’s high quality units are whole house solutions, unlike less effective portable units. Those units are usually designed for one room. Remember, with air quality you get what you pay for.
