At Austin Air, we often hear from customers about the profound impact our purifiers have had on their lives. From relieving allergy symptoms to providing peace of mind for individuals with severe sensitivities, our products are designed to create a healthier indoor environment for everyone.
We recently held an Impact Contest, asking folks to share their stories. From the numerous entries – all of which were inspiring – two particular stories stood out. These stories showcase how Austin Air purifiers don’t just make a difference for those with known health conditions but also for seemingly “healthy” individuals who may not realize the importance of clean air until they need it most.
Reuniting Families: Lonnie’s Story
Lonnie and her husband are in their 80s, and like most parents, they cherish every opportunity to spend time with their children. Especially during their senior years. However, their daughter’s autoimmune condition made visiting them nearly impossible. Even the slightest exposure to airborne particles or traces of mold triggered severe reactions, including rashes, swelling, and debilitating illness that left her bedridden for days.
She couldn’t stay in rooms with old carpets or draperies. She couldn’t enter old shops or homes. Even newly constructed buildings, which often contain mold in their materials, posed a risk. For Lonnie and her husband, this meant their daughter had to stay away from their home too – isolated from their family due to something as fundamental as the air they breathed.
Determined to find a solution, they installed three Austin Air purifiers in their home, running them 24/7. The results were nothing short of life-changing: their daughter could finally visit without fear of getting sick! “Hallelujah. Thank you, Austin,” Lonnie shared.
This story isn’t just about air purifiers – it’s about restoring connections, ensuring loved ones can be together without the invisible threat of airborne contaminants. For those with extreme sensitivities, Austin Air provides more than clean air; it offers freedom and peace of mind.
Anya’s Journey to Recovery
For Anya, mold exposure was a hidden enemy that took a long time to uncover. She suffered from a range of health issues, including severe gastrointestinal symptoms and intense depression, without knowing the root cause. Eventually, she discovered that mold in her apartment was to blame, and though she worked to remediate it, the effects lingered.
During the mold remediation process, she temporarily moved into her sister’s guest room – only to find that it, too, had water damage issues. (A common occurrence… as most homeowners and renters know.) There was an air purifier in the room but it was a cheap model from a big-box store so it did little to help. She felt the symptoms return almost immediately. Desperate for relief, she retrieved her Austin Air HealthMate from her apartment and placed it in the guest room. Within a day, she felt fine again.
For Anya, this experience solidified what she already knew: not all air purifiers are created equal. Having an Austin Air purifier didn’t just help her feel better – it was a crucial part of her recovery.
Clean Air Matters for Everyone
Lonnie and Anya’s stories highlight two important truths:
- For individuals with severe sensitivities, clean air isn’t a luxury – it’s a necessity. Whether it’s mold, allergens, or airborne particles, exposure to pollutants can be debilitating, isolating, and even dangerous. This applies to folks with allergies, asthma, COPD, and other lung diseases.
- Even for those without known sensitivities or respiratory conditions, the quality of the air we breathe has a profound effect on our well-being. Anya’s experience shows that symptoms can manifest in unexpected ways, from digestive issues to mood changes. Poor air quality can impact mental and physical health in ways we may not immediately recognize.
