Air Filters and Air Filtration Systems

Your forced–air heating and AC systems have a fan that sucks in air from around the home before conditioning it and sending it back through the house. First, the air passes through a filter, but most air filters can only do so much. Standard air filters still miss very small particles like mold spores.

If your air quality is not up to par, your best option may be to upgrade the air filter. But watch out! If the filter is too strong, it can actually keep air from flowing through the system as well. And that means your heating and air conditioning systems can malfunction. Be sure to contact HVAC technicians to pick out a quality air filtration system that will work properly with your heating and AC systems.

Electronic Air Purification

An electronic air cleaner works differently than a standard media filter. Rather than trapping particles within fibers, an electronic air cleaner "charges" the particles moving in the air. In a process known as ionization, particles are given a charge and become attracted to surfaces of an opposite charge.

You may need to clean a set of metal plates within the system every few months. Or particles may latch on to surfaces like curtains or the upholstery, but it’s better than having allergens like pollen and pet dander floating through the air. Plus, it won’t slow down the airflow in your HVAC system.

UV Air Purifiers

Finally, we recommend a UV air purifier as a solution to some of the worst contaminants within a home’s air. Germs such as bacteria and viruses make people sick, and are particularly dangerous to anyone with a weakened immune system. But these are killed and sterilized instantly with an ultraviolet light system. UV lights are installed within the HVAC system to kill off microorganisms so they are safe to breathe in.
