Air Purifiers in Billings, MT
We’re lucky to live in a city with cleaner, less polluted air than many other urban areas. However, pollution is still a factor, and when it gets trapped inside your home in Billings, MT, it lowers your indoor air quality (IAQ). There are other factors affecting the cleanliness of your indoor air as well, such as pet dander, smoke particles, dust, and surface bacteria.
These pollutants build up inside your home without anywhere to escape. This can contribute to issues ranging from allergies and respiratory trouble to mildew, viruses, and increased dust on surfaces. Children, the elderly, and homes with pets are especially vulnerable to indoor air quality issues.
You can drastically reduce the amount of contaminants that accumulate and circulate indoors with whole-house air purifiers installed by the experts at Comfort Heating & Air Conditioning, LLC. While having a clean air filter in your HVAC system is helpful, it doesn’t clean your indoor air thoroughly. For that, our expert technicians can install an air purifier from Respicaire into your existing ductwork. This cleans your air as it moves through your HVAC system so your family can breathe a sigh of relief!
If you’re ready for a healthier, cleaner, more sanitary home in Billings, call Comfort Heating & Air Conditioning, LLC today! We’ll give you a friendly expert consultation on the best air purifier solution for your family to breathe healthier air.
Great service deserves to be shared! Your review helps us know what we’re doing right and helps others feel confident choosing Comfort Heating & Air Conditioning LLC.
What Does an Air Purifier Do for Billings Homes?
Air purifiers remove multiple types of contaminants. For example, the Respicaire OXY 4 Air uses ionic oxidation to capture and remove urban pollution, dander, smoke particles, bad smells, and dust. However, it also uses UV light to kill 99% of viruses including SARS CoV-2.
In independent 3rd-party lab testing, each of Respicaire’s UV light-based air purifiers—the OXY 4, BioClean, OdorMiser DTX, and MoldMiser MAX—were able to neutralize airborne coronavirus by 99% within 5 to 10 seconds. They’re similarly effective at inactivating other types of viruses and bacterial organisms as well. Give us a call and we can test your air and offer expert advice on the best Respicaire air purifier for your particular needs. Once we install it, it will run automatically and begin cleaning your indoor air as soon as your HVAC system turns on.
With just an HVAC system alone, you’re able to heat and cool your house and remove some airborne particles with the AC or furnace filter. But over time, your air quality will diminish, especially if you have pets, smokers, or like many homeowners, you sometimes fall behind on dusting and vacuuming.
Even here in Billings, where the air quality is better than most cities, pollution levels can still rise to “Moderate” and beyond according to the US Air Quality Index (AQI) alert system. Polluted air entering your home has nowhere to escape. Improving your indoor air quality even allows your HVAC system to work more efficiently, since there will be less build-up inside your ducts and air filters.

How do Air Purifiers Work?
We install different types of Respicaire air purifiers that specialize in slightly different things, but the science behind how they work is similar. After being attached to your HVAC ductwork, air from your home is pulled toward the air purifier. The purifier releases negative ions that latch onto airborne substances such as smoke, pollen, mold spores, car exhaust particles, dust, and even some bacteria. This applies an electrical charge to them so they can be captured and contained, preventing them from being pushed back into your home.
First, a pre-filter grabs onto the larger particles and debris from the air. Next, if an air purifier has a carbon filter, it will go through a process called adsorption to capture substances like gas and odor-causing vapor molecules. These molecules are attracted to carbon, making them easy to capture. The primary filter removes the smallest particles from the air it takes in before blowing it out, resulting in fresh, clean air without pollutants, odors, or dander.
UV lights are built into many Respicaire products as well. These deactivate bacteria and viruses so that even more of these harmful microorganisms are neutralized beyond those that can be captured through the carbon filter and ionization process.
If any of these factors apply to you, an indoor air purifier would be especially beneficial:
- Living in an area of Billings with frequently lower air quality
- Own one or more cats, dogs, or other pets
- Suffer from allergies or respiratory issues
- Household with children or older folks
- Immunocompromised family members
- Frequently host or entertain guests
- Frequent cooking
- Inadequate ventilation
- Clean your home’s surfaces infrequently
