Any appliance in the home can be termed as a home improvement appliance because it does just that, i.e. it improves the condition of the home. In this way, we have the critical home improvement appliances (without which life would be very difficult if not impossible) and the not-so-critical home improvement appliances (without which we could find it inconvenient, but not directly affecting life). Three of the most critical home improvement appliances are water purifiers, air conditioners and vacuum cleaners. The following few lines will describe their impact on our day-to-day life.
The Benefits of the Water Purifier
Why is the water purifier considered as a critical home improvement appliance? Because in today s world with so much pollution in the air, water and soil, it is impossible to be sure that the water we drink is indeed potable. There are million and one stories regarding people falling sick because they were slowly poisoned by contaminated matter existing in the water table in the region from where their water was originating. Those who used water purifiers were left unharmed. A water purifier not only kills the germs, harmful micro-organisms, viruses and bacteria, but also from harmful contamination of the water. There is too much such harmful material mixed in the water today for which a water purifier is a must-have in every home.
The Benefits of the Air Conditioner
This may not be a critical appliance for healthy people. However, for asthmatics it is indeed a life-giver. Often the air outside is polluted with a number of contaminants, which provoke extreme allergy attacks in asthmatic people. The air conditioners cannot only filter these pollutants, but also de-humidify the air to make life comfortable for the asthmatic persons. An air-conditioner will also regulate the temperature of the room providing the patient the right ambiance to keep their asthma in control. Besides the dust, it also helps removing second hand smoke, any type of chemical pollutants and even car exhaust fumes from the air. Hence, the air conditioner is another critical home improvement appliance for people who suffer from asthma, i.e. whose life depends on inhaling clean air.
The Benefits of the Vacuum Cleaner
The vacuum cleaner is another must-have home improvement appliance for those who are allergic to dust and/or are suffering from asthma. While the air-conditioner will be able to purify the air and keep it free from any triggers (pollutants) that can provoke asthma, these cannot prevent the dust mites from making their homes in the bedrolls and other places in the home. The vacuum cleaner will ensure that the beds are free from these allergens.
