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

In uncertain times you can feel good in knowing your residence is your safe area. You’re probably spending more time there today. That’s why your indoor air quality is now more important than ever.

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

Modern houses are firmly sealed, which is great for energy efficiency. But it also means your inside air could be worse than the air outside. In reality, the EPA says it can be two to five times worse than outdoors. This might be problematic since we spend about 90% of our days in a building.

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

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

Not sure which option is best for your house? Our skilled technicians can complete an indoor air quality audit. Based off of our findings, we can then advise you on the most fitting option for your home’s distinctive needs.

Air Filtration

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

One of the most average and most economical filters, flat fiberglass filters, rank between 1 and 4 on the MERV scale. Pleated filters are slightly better, ranking between 8 and 12.

We suggest upgrading to at minimum MERV 13, like the HC13 Media Air Cleaner, for the optimal effect. This filter gives fresher air while limiting energy needs.

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

Air Purification

Lennox offers some of the most advanced air purification equipment you can buy. PureAir™ S and Healthy Climate™ PureAir Air Purification Systems offer hospital-grade filtration while taking care of all categories of indoor air contaminants.

These powerful units can wipe out:

  • 99.9% of allergens, like pollen, dust and pet dander.
  • 95% of bacteria-sized particles, like 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 unit. Its powerful rays eliminate bacteria and mold within seconds.

If your family suffers from allergies or asthma, this unit may deliver relief. Especially if you reside in a humid part of the country where bacteria and mold thrive.

This light also offers an added advantage for your HVAC unit. It may help it run longer and run more efficiently, because it keeps the internal components clean.

Our air quality engineers suggest installing one of these lights with an upgraded filter, such as our Carbon Clean 16® Media Air Cleaner, for the greatest results. This filter offers industry-leading MERV 16 filtration combined with carbon-coated fibers to remove particles from your home’s air. It does all of this without decreasing your heating and cooling equipment’s airflow.

Whole-Home Humidifiers

Acquiring correct humidity in your home may help keep your family from getting sick during the winter. It can help with sore throats, dry skin and cracked lips, in addition to other cold weather irritations.

If you don’t know what your home’s humidity percentage is, we’ll measure it when we complete your indoor air quality audit. While the range varies based off of outdoor temperatures, HVAC pros usually recommend keeping it between 40–60 percent.

You can achieve this optimum range by installing a whole-home humidifier. This system usually functions with your furnace or air handler to provide optimal humidity around your house. Some units, like the Healthy Climate® Whole-Home Power Humidifier, contain an included fan to move humidity when your HVAC system isn’t running.
