The international growth of COVID-19 has likely turned your daily calendar all over the place.

When times feel uncertain you can take comfort in knowing your residence is your safe retreat. You’re probably spending more time there nowadays. Consequently your indoor air quality is now more crucial than ever.

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

Today’s houses are tightly airtight, which is good for energy efficiency. But it also means your home’s air might be worse than the air outside. In actuality, the EPA says it can be two to five times worse than outdoors. This may cause a problem since we spend about 90% of our lifetime inside.

There are many things that can lead to poor indoor air quality, such as cleaning products and air fresheners. These could create headaches and irritate allergies and asthma.

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

Not certain which solution is best for your residence? Our knowledgeable technicians can conduct an indoor air quality audit. Based off of the results, we can then advise you on the best option for your home’s unique needs.

Air Filtration

When comparing air filters, it’s essential to review the MERV rating, or Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value. This assesses how efficiently it filters contaminants.

One of the most average and most economical filters, flat fiberglass filters, are graded between 1 and 4 on the MERV register. Pleated filters are a little bit better, graded between 8 and 12.

We suggest getting no less than MERV 13, like the HC13 Media Air Cleaner, for the best effect. This filter provides fresher air while lowering energy use.

High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filters are deemed the gold standard in air filtration, as 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 most advanced air purification units you can purchase. PureAir™ S and Healthy Climate™ PureAir Air Purification Systems offer hospital-grade filtration while taking care of all kinds of indoor air contaminants.

These powerful units can eliminate:

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

UV Germicidal Lights

A UV germicidal light is placed on the inside of your heating and cooling system. Its penetrating rays eliminate bacteria and mold within seconds.

If your family suffers from allergies or asthma, this unit can offer relief. Especially if you live in an extremely hot part of the country where bacteria and mold flourish.

This light also offers an extra advantage for your heating and cooling system. It might help it work longer and heat and cool more efficiently, since it keeps the internal parts clean.

Our air quality engineers advise combining 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 in addition to carbon-coated fibers to catch particles in your residence’s air. It does all of this without decreasing your comfort equipment’s airflow.

Whole-Home Humidifiers

Getting even humidity in your house may help keep your loved ones in good health when it’s cold. It can help with sore throats, itchy skin and chapped lips, amidst added cold weather annoyances.

If you aren’t sure of what your house’s humidity level is, we’ll measure it while we perform your indoor air quality audit. While the range varies based upon outdoor temperatures, HVAC professionals generally advise keeping it between 40–60 percent.

You can accomplish this ideal range with a whole-home humidifier. This system usually accompanies your furnace or air handler to provide optimum humidity around your home. Some units, like the Healthy Climate® Whole-Home Power Humidifier, contain an included fan to spread humidity when your comfort equipment isn’t operating.
