Hi everyone,
I'm a longtime lurker, but this is my first post.
We currently have 3 birds: 2 budgies (Ella Mae and Lil Blue) and a red-bellied parrot (Radar). After lots of thought, we have agreed to foster a 12-year-old male CAG (Gandalf) with the intent to adopt. We love African species and have always wanted a grey, but the dust has always worried us. My non-feathered family consists of myself and my wife, our two children (10 and 6) and our lab (Brennan). We all have the usual seasonal allergies, and we get pretty congested if we don't vacuum, sweep and dust at least every other day because our lab sheds a lot. Getting a grey wasn't even a consideration in our old house, which was about 850 sq ft with carpet. However, we built a new home in October that is two-stories, 3,000 sq ft, open concept, and has wood floors everywhere except the bedrooms. So now we think we are ready to bring a grey into our home.
With that in mind, I still think an air purifier is a good idea. However, due to our open concept I'm not sure how many I need or where to put them. Below is a picture of our floor plan. The birds are kept in the breakfast area. I was thinking about putting a standard model Austin Air purifier in the living room or breakfast area, and then adding smaller purifiers to the bedrooms as needed.
So this is my plan. Any advice you have is appreciated.
Thanks,
Jared
