Air purifiers are fantastic for boosting your indoor air quality around the clock. But if you have noticed that your indoor air quality is suffering despite having a whole-house air purifier, it may be that the unit is broken or malfunctioning<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even though it could be tempting, don\u2019t try to make any repairs on your own. Instead, give our team a call for air purifier repair in Satellite Beach, FL<\/a>. We can check out your air purifier to figure out what is wrong and either fix it or replace the unit completely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Signs of Air Purifier Problems<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When you first install a whole-house air purifier, you\u2019ll notice the difference in your indoor air quality. You\u2019ll be able to breathe easier and the air will feel lighter and fresher. It\u2019s a positive change that should last for the life of the air purifier. If you begin to notice a decline in your indoor air quality, it\u2019s a red flag that your air purifier is not operating at its best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Air purifiers are very quiet during operation, so changes in indoor air quality are the only signs you\u2019ll really notice. You may also see more dust than usual on surfaces around your home. If you\u2019re having to wipe down shelves and items more often than usual, it\u2019s a good idea to go ahead and have us check out your air purifier to be safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep in mind that it is possible that the filter or UV light simply needs to be changed out because it has reached its maximum lifespan. Typically, this is a step that needs to be completed annually, but if you have particularly poor indoor air quality, then you may need to have it changed out sooner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Steps to Take<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you have concerns about your indoor air quality with a whole-house purifier, just give our team a call. There are no steps that you need to take as a homeowner. In fact, attempting to change out the UV light or filter yourself can be risky. You\u2019re likely to do more harm than good, resulting in a more expensive repair appointment when our team does visit for service.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you smell something burning and suspect that your air purifier may be overheating, it’s a good idea to turn off the breaker it is attached to as a precaution. You can talk to our team on the phone about your concerns when you call to schedule an appointment and we can offer direction until we can get there to complete professional service steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Repairing or Replacing Your Air Purifier<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Leave the repairs to us. We can determine if you need a replacement filter or UV light or if there is some other repair that needs to be made. If you\u2019ve had your air purifier for a while now, it may be time to upgrade the unit and install a new one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
