Best Bonus Features

Dyson - HP01 Pure Hot + Cool 800 Sq. Ft Air Purifier, Heater and Fan

$500$375

Dyson

As with all Dyson products, the HP01 Pure Hot + Cool has quite a few unique capabilities. It can clean up to 800 square feet of air, and it also works as a heater or a fan. If you don't like the breeze, you can put it in "Diffused" mode so that it doesn't push the air toward you. The model has 350-degree oscillation, smart-home compatibility, and a sleep setting. If all that isn't impressive enough, this air purifier also has certifications from the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America, the PTPA (parent-tested, parent-approved), and Quiet Mark. An alternate version of this great unit is the Dyson Pure Humidfy+Cool, which might be preferable for homes that are already well-heated, but perhaps a little dry.

In addition to the up-front savings, this air purifier is Energy-Star certified, so it should save you a couple of bucks on your energy bill down the line.

Best Respiratory Conditions

GermGuardian Air Purifier

$300$195

Amazon

While many people can benefit from an air purifier, the GermGuardian machines are especially ideal for people with asthma, allergies, or immune-system deficiencies. "HEPA filters can be effective against flu and other respiratory devices and can certainly filter out larger allergens such as pollen and dust," says Barocas. The GermGuardian is specially designed with these issues in mind, so it is also equipped with a UV-C which, according to the Barocas, "can be effective at killing viruses and bacteria," as long as the device is rated to cover the square footage of your space.

Best for Deep Cleaning

Coway Mighty Air Purifier

$230$150

Amazon

When your home becomes a space for work, play, and everything else, it can be difficult to keep the air fresh and consistently clean. While all air purifiers are great for absorbing pet dander, the Coway Mighty is particularly good at trapping pet hair as well. The device collects more air pollutants and dust faster than other models, so it clears airborne dust before it settles on your floors and furniture. This small, unobtrusive model is also great for those who don't have a ton of room for bulky appliances.

Best for Sensitive Noses 

Winix 5500-2

$250$160

Amazon

If the lingering smells of food, smoke, or mildew really irritate you, the Winix 5500-2 air purifier's washable, activated carbon filter makes it a great option. The model is quiet, great for mid-sized rooms, and has a smart sensor that can control the settings when in "Auto" mode. At such a low price point, the fact that this air purifier has certifications from AHAM (Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers), Energy Star, and CARB (the California Air Resources Board) is plenty of reason to add this one to your cart.

The many benefits of houseplants - Santa Clarita Valley Signal

Posted: 27 Nov 2020 12:00 AM PST

The lines between the outdoors and indoors are being blurred. Homeowners build extensive outdoor living spaces so they can relax on weather-resistant furniture and even cook in lavish kitchens in their backyards. In addition, indoor three-season rooms full of bright, open windows that showcase outdoor vistas challenge the boundaries between outside and inside.

For those working with limited budgets, there are some easy, inexpensive ways to enjoy the majesty of natural landscapes indoors. Houseplants can be used to improve indoor spaces, and they also provide various health benefits.

Help with allergies

According to WebMD, rooms with houseplants tend to have less dust and mold in them than those without any foliage. Leaves and other parts of the plants serve as natural filters, catching airborne particles and allergens. Plants with textured leaves might be especially effective at trapping particles.

Put more oxygen into the air

The human respiratory system works by bringing in oxygen and releasing carbon dioxide. Plants do the opposite during photosynthesis. They absorb carbon dioxide and then release oxygen. Plants can put much more oxygen into the air, improving indoor conditions.

Increase indoor humidity and reduce illness

Studies from the Agricultural University of Norway found that indoor plants can increase humidity in indoor spaces, which decreases the incidences of sore throats, dry coughs, dry skin, and the common cold. Higher absolute humidity can decrease the chances of survival and transmission of the flu virus.

Filter the air

Researchers who presented their work at the 252nd National Meeting & Exposition of the American Chemical Society found certain houseplants can combat the potentially harmful effects of volatile organic compounds. Plants may help filter out VOCs like benzene, acetone and formaldehyde, which can enter indoor air via cleaning supplies, dry-cleaned clothes, furniture, printers, and paints.

Improve interior atmosphere

Prevention magazine says plants can be used to screen unattractive areas, moderate room temperature by shading spots from the sun and even reduce noise. Plants also can improve ambiance and create a pleasing atmosphere in a room.

Can improve mood

Growing and caring for plants can alleviate everyday stress. A nationwide study from UK Magazine Gardeners World found 80 percent of gardeners declared themselves satisfied with life compared to 67 percent among non-gardeners. Gardeners were more positive mentally. Greenery can help people feel more at home and improve mental health. A rehab center in Norway found patients reported a greater increase in well-being four weeks after having greenery added to their surroundings.

Houseplants can improve indoor areas and positively affect personal health. (MC)

What you need to know about furnace filters - Globalnews.ca

TORONTO – If you're like most people, you probably don't give your furnace much thought as long as it's keeping you warm in the winter and cool in the summer. But in order to keep it working to its optimal performance — and help prevent a possible malfunction — you need to either change or clean your furnace filter on a regular basis. Sounds simple, but in reality there are so many options for furnace filters that choosing the wrong one can do more damage to your furnace than good and could potentially cause your furnace to break down. How a furnace works A traditional forced-air furnace draws air in via return ducts, warms it over a heat exchanger then, with the help of a blower fan, pushes the heated air through a series of ducts that branch off into rooms throughout your home. The furnace runs until the temperature inside reaches your desired thermostat setting. (If you have whole home air conditioning the process is similar with the air being cooled in the summer by a...
