The international growth of COVID-19 has likely flipped your {regular|typical|daily] routine all over the place.

When times feel uncertain you can take peace in knowing your residence is your safe area. You’re probably spending more time there nowadays. As a result, your indoor air quality is now more crucial than ever.

Did you realize we can install indoor air quality products in your home that deliver hospital-grade filtration? These products can eliminate bacteria from your air, as well as allergens, odors and volatile organic compounds (VOCs).

Up-to-date residences are tightly airtight, which is great for energy efficiency. But it also means your inside air might be worse than the air outside. In reality, the EPA says it can be two to five times worse than outdoors. This might lead to issues since we spend about 90% of our days inside.

There are many things that can cause poor indoor air quality, including cleaning products and air fresheners. These might create headaches and worsen allergies and asthma.

There are several things you can do to enhance your air quality. Some include enhanced air filters, an air purification system or an ultraviolet (UV) germicidal light.

Not sure which solution is best for your residence? Our skilled technicians can conduct an indoor air quality audit. Based on the outcome, we can then suggest the ideal choice for your home’s distinct needs.

Air Filtration

When looking at air filters, you should look at the MERV rating, or Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value. This measures how effectively it filters contaminants.

One of the most common and least expensive filters, flat fiberglass filters, are graded between 1 and 4 on the MERV system. Pleated filters are a little bit better, graded between 8 and 12.

We suggest getting at least MERV 13, for instance the HC13 Media Air Cleaner, for the most ideal effect. This filter delivers fresher air while lowering energy use.

High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filters are regarded as the best in air filtration, as they’re typically used in hospitals. They’re effective at capturing 99.97–99.99% of indoor pollutants, such as pollen, pet dander and smoke.

Air Purification

Lennox has some of the best air purification units you can get. PureAir™ S and Healthy Climate™ PureAir Air Purification Systems offer hospital-grade filtration while managing all types of indoor air contaminants.

These powerful systems can eliminate:

  • 99.9% of allergens, including pollen, dust and pet dander.
  • 95% of bacteria-sized particles, like ones that cause strep throat.
  • 50% of VOCs and odors within 24 hours.

UV Germicidal Lights

A UV germicidal light is added within your heating and cooling equipment. Its penetrating rays eradicate bacteria and mold within seconds.

If your family struggles with allergies or asthma, this equipment could provide relief. Especially if you reside in an extremely hot climate where bacteria and mold grow quickly.

This light also has an extra perk for your HVAC system. It may help it last for a longer period of time and heat and cool more efficiently, because it keeps the internal components clean.

Our air quality engineers suggest installing one of these lights with an enhanced filter, such as our Carbon Clean 16® Media Air Cleaner, for the greatest effect. This filter delivers industry-leading MERV 16 filtration plus carbon-coated fibers to remove particles from your home’s air. It fulfills this without restricting your comfort unit’s airflow.

Whole-Home Humidifiers

Having even humidity in your house could help keep your household in good health when it’s chilly. It can assist with sore throats, itchy skin and chapped lips, in addition to added cold weather irritations.

If you aren’t sure of what your house’s humidity range is, we’ll determine it during your indoor air quality audit. While the range changes based upon outdoor temperatures, HVAC pros typically advise keeping it between 40–60 percent.

You can reach this ideal range by using a whole-home humidifier. This equipment generally works with your furnace or air handler to provide the right level of humidity across your home. Some units, like the Healthy Climate® Whole-Home Power Humidifier, have an included fan to spread humidity when your heating equipment isn’t operating.
