A common topic in the media is outdoor air pollution, but did you know indoor air can be dirtier than the air you breathe outside?

The dust and debris on your counters and furniture are just a fraction of the particles in the air you breathe. There are also many airborne contaminants that are invisible to the naked eye, including dust mites, pollen and dander. These allergens can make it difficult to breathe, and they can cause allergy attacks and chronic illness in those with sensitive respiratory systems. One line of defense against these particles is a quality air purifier. A whole-house air purifier traps particles in a carbon filter before they have a chance to circulate in your home. You can choose from freestanding units or one that’s built-in to your heating and cooling system.
There are multiple benefits of installing an air purifier.
Reduced allergens
Eliminate bad odors
Improved quality of sleep
Less dust
Improved energy efficiency

UV Lights for Your HVAC System

UV lights enhance the filtration process, kill mold and bacteria and help pull small particles into your HVAC system, which are removed by air filters.

Improve Your Indoor Air with Air Filters
Your HVAC system and air purifiers use air filters to trap contaminates before they enter the air we breathe. There are multiple types and sizes of filters, which have their own purposes and benefits. The most common filters are standard fiberglass filters and pleated filters. They are inexpensive but provide little benefits other than trapping large dust particles before they travel through your HVAC system. Rated filters capture more contaminants. Filters with a high MERV rating tend to filter out the smallest particles. Replacing your air filter is easy and should be done at least once every three months if you run your system constantly. If you’re unsure what filter to choose or where your filter is located, your HVAC technician can help.
