Air Purifier Helps with New Carpet Smell
Air Purifier: IQAir, GC VOC
Location: Elgin, Illinois
There are many chemicals in homes that people are exposed to on a daily basis. Some people never feel the effects of these chemicals but they can still be harmful to the health of individuals who are exposed to them for extended periods of time. Many residents who are sensitive to these chemicals, however, can feel the effects while they are in their home. IQAir has designed the GC VOC to remove the smallest particles of these chemicals from the home, making the air safe and clean for residents to breathe in. The extensive filtration system with its different media and filters is proven to be very effective at removing a number of daily chemicals from the indoor air. The sources of these daily indoor chemicals can include cleaning products that are used in the home, new coats of paint on the walls or newly installed carpet.
The GC VOC became a commodity for the home of the Peolettas in Elgin, Illinois. The family was excited to move into their newly built home in the city. However, once they moved in, they found the unpleasant effects of newly installed carpets in the home. There are many chemicals which can become gaseous and airborne from newly installed carpet such as formaldehyde. After constant exposure in the home to these chemicals, the Peoletta family started feeling sensitivity to this exposure by experiencing symptoms such as a sore throat, itchy eyes and a headache. After realizing that it was the volatile chemicals present in the new carpet which were causing these symptoms in the residents, they starting shopping around for an air purifier which specialized in the removal of these gases and odors and would work for their needs.
The family soon turned to the GC VOC because of the combination of media and filters present in the system. The air purifier contains not only the regular pre filter but also 12 pounds of gas phase media which is specifically designed and proven to remove gases and chemicals from the air. The Peolettas found the air purifier to be extremely efficient at removing the chemicals that came from the newly installed carpet. The family was able to spend time together in the living room with no symptoms of their sensitivity to the chemicals.
The air purifier was also found to be a convenient model for the family's busy lifestyle. The unit is equipped with a control panel which displays the filter's life and the exact hour the filter needs to be replaced. Since the Poelettas live hectic lives, they don't have time to worry about filter replacement or to calculate when the filter will not longer be effective. This feature on the air purifier allows the Poelettas peace of mind by letting them know exactly when the system needs maintenance.
After purchasing the GC VOC air purifier, the Peolettas have had no problems with any chemicals or odors in their home. The indoor air now seems much cleaner and fresher and they no longer worry about experiencing the side effects of the new carpet. The family knew they had found the right air purifier for their specifications because of the effective media and filtration system inside the unit. The convenience the air purifier provides to its users is an added bonus to its efficiency.
