Did you realize that over 85 million families own pets in the United States? For most people, ensuring their pet is both happy and healthy is a must. There are a number of things you need to do as a pet owner to keep your home and the inhabitants of it content and ailment-free.

Unfortunately, pets are notorious for worsening the indoor air of the homes they live in. Rather than letting poor indoor air quality affect you and your family, take action and invest in things that will improve indoor air quality. While buying the right plants can improve your air quality, you will also need to think about investing in an air purifier.

Here are some of the things pet owners should consider when buying air purifiers for their homes.

Pay Attention to the Filters 

One of the first things you may be surprised to learn when starting the search for an air purifier is just how many options there are. Without a great deal of research, it will be nearly impossible to choose the best option for your home. When trying to narrow down the list of available air purifiers on the market, start by taking a look at the filtration the machine in question has to offer.

Ideally, you want to choose an air purifier with a high-efficiency particulate arrestance or HEPA filtration system. These types of filters guarantee to remove over 99 percent of the particles floating around in a home’s air supply. While air purifiers with HEPA filtration systems are a bit more expensive, they are well worth the money. Trying to make do with a subpar air filter will only lead to you and your family being more susceptible to respiratory and sinus-related problems.

You should also look for air purifiers that feature carbon filters. With these filters in place, you can remove any unpleasant odors your pets bring into the home. Often times, air purifiers with HEPA filters can work in conjunction with these carbon filters.

Find Air Purifiers That Feature an Automatic Mode

Most people lead very busy lives. The busier you are, the harder you will find it to remember to do tasks like turn on your air filtration system or clean up your home regularly. Instead of letting the quality of your indoor air suffer due to a lack of time, you need to find a machine that has an automatic mode.

Most of the air purifiers on the market that have this feature will be equipped with an air quality sensor. This sensor can detect the type and amount of pollutants in your indoor air supply. When higher levels of these pollutants are detected, air purifiers with an automatic mode will come on and begin filtering them out. Paying a bit more for an air purifier with an automatic mode can save you a lot of time and stress.

Avoid Getting a Noisy Air Purifier

Another important factor you need to consider before choosing an air purifier is how noisy it is. The last thing any pet owner wants is to be kept up all night with a noisy air purifier. Most suppliers of these machines have store displays setup that allows consumers to interact with the machines before they are purchased. Taking the time to go in and get a firsthand look at an air purifier will allow you to narrow down the list of options in a hurry.

Don’t Rush Through the Air Purifier Selection Process

The main mistake most pet owners make when choosing an air purifier is rushing through the research process. Without a thorough amount of homework, it will be nearly impossible for a person to make the right selection.
