Wildfire roundup: What you need to know about blazes burning across Canada
Quick Glance: Air Purifiers: Can Air Conditioning Help During Poor Air Quality?
  • Well-made air conditioning units improve indoor air quality by controlling humidity.

  • Central air conditioning can improve air purification if the filter is up to date or replaced with a HEPA filter.

  • Central air conditioning treats almost all the air in the house, while window units may introduce wildfire smoke with little filtering capability.

  • Air conditioning can support indoor air purifiers, but it's important to use an air purifier when using a window unit.
