A healthy indoor climate is crucial for your well-being, especially because modern homes are increasingly well insulated. Read here practical insights on how air purifiers and dehumidifiers improve your living quality.
Indoor air often less healthy than outdoor air
The air quality in your home is often worse than outside. About 1 in 7 Dutch homes exceed the WHO guideline value for fine dust. Cooking and burning candles are important sources of these dangerous particles. Fine dust particles smaller than 10 micrometers penetrate deeply into your lungs. They reach various organs via the bloodstream. The RIVM calculated that fine dust shortens life expectancy by an average of 13 months. Modern home insulation saves energy but also keeps pollution inside without good ventilation.
Air purifiers filter harmful particles
Nedis advises HEPA filters for effective air purification. These filters capture fine dust, pollen, house dust mites, and mold spores. Carbon filters also neutralize unpleasant odors in your home. People with asthma or allergies experience immediate relief from their symptoms.
The benefits of air purifiers are:
- Reduced allergens such as pollen and house dust mites
- Better sleep quality due to cleaner air
- Less trouble with respiratory complaints
- Removal of bacteria and viruses
Our range of Nedis air purifiers includes models with advanced filter technology for different room sizes, such as the air purifier 20 m² for small spaces or the air purifier 45 m² for larger rooms.
Dehumidifiers effectively combat moisture
Moisture in the house causes mold and health complaints. Dehumidifiers reduce the relative humidity by removing moist air. This prevents condensation on windows and walls. Too high humidity leads to allergies, sneezing fits, and fatigue.
These devices are essential in:
- Basements with moisture problems
- Bathrooms without windows
- Bedrooms with condensation
- Laundry rooms with high humidity
Our Nedis dehumidifiers such as the SmartLife dehumidifier 20L and SmartLife dehumidifier 30L use condensation technology with built-in filters for effective moisture control.
Combination creates optimal indoor climate
Air purifiers and dehumidifiers complement each other perfectly. The dehumidifier tackles moisture and mold. The air purifier removes fine dust and allergens. This combination minimizes health risks by solving both problems simultaneously. I see the best results in rooms with multiple air quality issues. The complete range from Nedis offers integrated solutions for different situations, including the air purifier 25 m² with integrated dust sensor.
Risks and maintenance tips
Be careful with ionization technology due to possible ozone emission. Replace filters timely according to specifications. Neglected filters reduce effectiveness and can themselves become a source of pollution. Place devices in the right location for optimal results.
Important maintenance tips are:
- Check filters monthly
- Replace HEPA filters every 6-12 months
- Clean the housing weekly
- Empty water reservoirs daily
Our Nedis products come with clear maintenance guidelines and easily obtainable replacement filters. For health gadgets regular maintenance is essential.
New build homes threatened by poor air quality
Over 30,000 to 40,000 planned new build homes are located near busy roads or industrial areas. GGD guidelines advise a minimum distance of 150 meters from highways. Many social rental homes are located in these risk areas. Good ventilation and air purification are essential there. For residents in these areas, we offer Nedis air purifiers as an important addition to construction measures. Indoor climate meters help monitor air quality.
Future of healthy living
The Clean Air Agreement focuses on improving air quality in living environments. New regulations require ventilation systems in new builds. Balanced ventilation combines energy efficiency with a healthy indoor climate. Source analysis of traffic and industry helps with planning decisions. At Nedis, we respond to these developments with energy-efficient ventilation solutions and smart climate control at home for modern homes. Climate control at home is becoming increasingly important for our health.
