Hello...
So I heat my house with a pellet stove and we've been hearing that burning wood or pellets can induce allergins into the air. This will be my 3rd heating season with it... The last 2 years my kids have been stuffy and coughing and just not right. Yesterday we paid an extra $10 each plus our co-pay to take them to the Dr. - he couldn't find anything wrong, of course he was going to throw antibiotics at them anyway. I asked about allergies and we told him about the pellet stove and he also agreed that burning pellets or wood cause put allergins or pollutants into the air. So now I want to figure out how to clean the air. I actually have 2 whole house humidifiers. 1 is a portable unit and 1 is attached to the furnace. He mentioned a humidifier as to helping...
My initial though is to get a thermostat to run my air circulator say 10 minutes every hour, such as this one:

This will also run my humidifier on my furnace as well, as well as use the filter to hopefully filter the air and pollutants.
I'm also thinking of getting a filter for my Essik humidifier, but also thinking of room purifiers, such as this one:
http://www.amazon.com/Whirlpool®-W...-AP51030K/dp/B00440EKRG/ref=pd_ecc_rvi_cart_1
However, I don't think that one is going to do what I'd like it to...
Any thoughts on any of this would be greatly appreciated...
Thanks...
