Protect Your Home from Wildfire Smoke with Platinum Air Care’s Air Purifiers
Wildfires are becoming more frequent and more intense — and they don't just affect outdoor air. Microscopic smoke particles (PM2.5) can enter your home and linger for days. At Platinum Air Care, we offer HEPA-certified air purifiers built specifically to combat wildfire smoke and restore clean, breathable air indoors.
Breathe Easy — Wildfire Smoke Doesn’t Stay Outside
Wildfire smoke contains microscopic particles (PM2.5), carbon monoxide, and toxic gases that can easily seep into your home through windows, doors, HVAC vents, and even wall cracks. Once indoors, these pollutants linger — causing respiratory irritation, headaches, and long-term health risks.
Even if you can't smell it, wildfire smoke reduces indoor air quality and poses a danger to children, seniors, and those with asthma or allergies. Standard HVAC filters can’t capture ultra-fine particles, making dedicated air purification essential during wildfire season.
✅ Did you know? Wildfire smoke can travel thousands of kilometers — affecting homes far from the actual fire zone.
Why Wildfire Smoke Poses a Serious Indoor Air Quality Threat
Wildfire smoke doesn’t stay outside. Microscopic particles and toxic gases seep into homes through doors, windows, and HVAC systems — even when closed. These airborne pollutants can trigger asthma, allergies, and respiratory problems, especially in children, seniors, and those with pre-existing conditions.
PM2.5 (particulate matter smaller than 2.5 microns) is the most dangerous component of wildfire smoke. These tiny particles penetrate deep into the lungs and bloodstream, causing long-term health risks.
Protecting your indoor air during wildfire season is no longer optional — it's essential for your family’s health.
Why Wildfire Smoke Indoors Is More Dangerous Than You Think
When wildfires burn, the danger doesn't stop at the flames. Tiny smoke particles — especially PM2.5 — easily seep into homes through windows, doors, vents, and even microscopic cracks. These ultrafine particles are small enough to enter your lungs and bloodstream, leading to health issues like:
Worsened asthma and allergies
Chronic coughing or wheezing
Fatigue, headaches, and irritated eyes
Increased risk of respiratory infections
Even if you can't see or smell the smoke indoors, that doesn’t mean it’s not there. In fact, according to the Environmental Protection Agency, indoor air can be up to 10 to 70 times more polluted than outdoor air, especially during a wildfire event. Children, seniors, and anyone with respiratory conditions are especially vulnerable.
This is why using a high-efficiency air purifier with True HEPA and carbon filtration is essential during wildfire season. It traps harmful smoke particles, neutralizes odors, and helps protect your household’s health.
Do Air Purifiers Help with Wildfire Smoke? Absolutely — Here's How
Air purifiers are one of the most effective tools to defend your indoor air from wildfire smoke. But not all purifiers are created equal. To truly protect your home, your system should include:
True HEPA filtration – Captures 99.97% of fine particles as small as 0.3 microns, including PM2.5 smoke particles
Activated carbon filters – Absorb odors and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) released during wildfires
High CADR rating – Ensures fast and effective air cleaning based on your room size
Strong air exchange rate (ACH) – Keeps air circulating and purified multiple times per hour
Our premium air purifiers are tested to perform during wildfire season and are used in both residential and commercial settings. They improve indoor air quality, reduce health risks, and offer peace of mind — especially when outdoor air becomes hazardous.

Yes. High-efficiency air purifiers with HEPA and activated carbon filters can capture both fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and harmful VOCs produced by wildfire smoke.
-
Look for units with True HEPA filters for particles and activated carbon filters for odors and gases. Avoid ozone generators, as they can worsen indoor air quality.

During heavy smoke periods, filters may clog faster. Check filters weekly and replace carbon or HEPA filters every 1–3 months depending on usage and conditions. When it comes to our MedicAir medical-grade air purifier, consider replacing every 6-9 months.
-
Yes and no — ACH is based on room volume. Air purifiers are most effective when used in a closed space. To achieve the right ACH, you should calculate for each room individually, however our air purifiers are powerful enough for most homes.
