Combat Wildfire Smoke with a Whole House Air Purifier

Wednesday, July 26th, 2023
Dramatic scene as fog and smoke from a wildfire drape the Flatirons in Boulder Colorado.

Recent wildfires in Canada and the ensuing smoke have created a dangerously high Air Quality Index that affected the air quality of many states across the US. With the increased frequency of wildfires over the years, many homeowners have purchased air purifiers that are designed to clean the air in their homes. However, these portable devices have their shortcomings and aren’t able to clean more than a room at a time.

When it comes to combatting not only wildfire smoke but also poor indoor air quality, the best defense is a good offense. That’s why we recommend the installation of a whole-house air purifier system. One of the systems we install is the UV® APCO®-X from Fresh-Aire, a company that’s committed to providing industry-leading solutions organically, removing harmful pathogens, particulates, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) without introducing any by-products.
