The international transmission of COVID-19 has likely shifted your {regular|typical|daily] calendar all over the place.

When things feel uncertain you can feel good in knowing your residence is your safe space. You’re possibly 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 provide hospital-grade filtration? These products can eliminate bacteria from your air, as well as allergens, odors and volatile organic compounds (VOCs).

Up-to-date houses are securely sealed, which is fantastic for energy efficiency. But it also means your home’s air may be worse than the air outside. In actuality, the EPA says it can be two to five times worse than outdoors. This may be problematic since we spend about 90% of our days inside.

There are many factors that can cause poor indoor air quality, such as cleaning products and air fresheners. These may result in headaches and exasperate allergies and asthma.

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

Unsure which option is a good fit for your home? Our expert techs can conduct an indoor air quality audit. Based upon the outcome, we can then advise you on the most fitting solution for your family’s unique needs.

Air Filtration

When browsing air filters, it’s essential to look at the MERV rating, or Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value. This gauges how successfully it filters pollutants.

One of the most average and least expensive filters, flat fiberglass filters, are rated between 1 and 4 on the MERV register. Pleated filters are slightly better, graded between 8 and 12.

We suggest getting at minimum MERV 13, for instance the HC13 Media Air Cleaner, for the optimal effect. This filter delivers cleaner air while reducing energy use.

High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filters are deemed the gold standard in air filtration, since they’re frequently in use in hospitals. They’re effective at capturing 99.97–99.99% of indoor pollutants, like pollen, pet dander and smoke.

Air Purification

Lennox offers 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 categories of indoor air contaminants.

These powerful systems can wipe out:

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

UV Germicidal Lights

A UV germicidal light is installed inside your comfort system. Its powerful rays eradicate bacteria and mold within seconds.

If your family has allergies or asthma, this system may provide relief. Especially if you reside in a humid part of the country where bacteria and mold thrive.

This light also provides an added perk for your heating and cooling system. It might help it last longer and run more efficiently, because it keeps the internal parts clean.

Our air quality engineers recommend installing one of these lights with an improved filter, such as our Carbon Clean 16® Media Air Cleaner, for the greatest outcome. This filter provides industry-leading MERV 16 filtration combined with carbon-coated fibers to remove particles from your residence’s air. It fulfills this without limiting your heating and cooling equipment’s airflow.

Whole-Home Humidifiers

Acquiring correct humidity in your home might help keep your loved ones in good health during the winter. It can help with sore throats, itchy skin and peeling lips, in addition to further cold weather irritations.

If you aren’t aware of what your residence’s humidity percentage is, we’ll figure that out during your indoor air quality audit. While the range changes based upon outdoor temperatures, HVAC experts generally suggest keeping it between 40–60 percent.

You can accomplish this optimum range by installing a whole-home humidifier. This unit typically accompanies your furnace or air handler to provide the right level of humidity throughout your house. Some models, like the Healthy Climate® Whole-Home Power Humidifier, have an included fan to move humidity while your HVAC system isn’t operating.
