Breathe Easier This Winter

Winter is the season of sniffles and sneezes. Despite what your mom told you, getting sick doesn’t happen because you didn’t wear mittens. Viruses that cause common colds and the flu spread from infected people via droplets in the air released as sick people sneeze, talk or cough. During winter we typically spend more time indoors, closer to other people in homes and offices sealed up against the cold. That means managing indoor air quality is more critical in winter — and that’s where the Frigidaire air purifiers shine. Designed with both performance and convenience in mind, these compact powerhouses are perfect for bedrooms, offices or nurseries, creating a healthier environment for you and your family.

Air purifiers with HEPA air filtering continuously capture airborne pathogens, including rhinovirus and many of the more than 200 other viruses that cause seasonal colds and flu. Filters with large surface areas, like the 360-degree circular design in some Frigidaire models, tend to work more efficiently and last longer than traditional square styles.

In addition to HEPA filtration, you also want to look for appliances that can track your home’s air quality in real time. An app for your smartphone will make such monitoring easier. You also want to look for appliances with noise levels below 25 dBA so you can hear the TV or phone during the day and sleep easy at night. A “night mode” and Wi-Fi connectivity are other features to consider.

While winter is prime season for eliminating viral health threats, air purifiers are beneficial all year round — removing odors, pollen, pet dander and other unwanted particles.

Preventing colds and flu is much easier than recovering from them. Shop for your Frigidaire air purifier here and you’ll be breathing easy in no time. Oh, and your mom still wants you to wear your mittens.
