Making sure you have clean indoor air is essential to your and your family’s health. You may or may not be aware, but the air inside your home is likely more dangerous than the air outside. That’s because, during this time of year, you are trying to keep your home as energy-efficient as possible. To that end, you keep the doors and windows closed, which restricts the proper exchange of indoor and outdoor air. As a result, the air inside becomes stale and in some cases, even polluted.
Marsh Heating and Air Conditioning is your friendly HVAC company in Ramsey MN. We are experts at establishing good indoor air quality in residences. In partnership with Healthy Climate, we offer an array of air quality products designed to purify the air in your home.
Overview
Running your HVAC system gives you some level of protection. Its filter captures visible dirt and dust, which helps the system work efficiently. However, this filter is not engineered to give you thoroughly clean indoor air.
A standard filter (about 1 inch thick) protects your HVAC equipment but is not made to improve indoor air quality. It takes the visible dirt out of the air but helps very little in terms of the quality of the air you breathe.
On the other hand, high-efficiency filters are engineered to clean contaminated air. They can remove even microscopic particles like bacteria, viruses, mold spores, and cigarette smoke. These filters also minimize allergens, respiratory irritants, dust, dirt, and pet dander.
You will appreciate upgrading to HEPA filters if you have kids, the elderly, or persons with preexisting respiratory conditions in your home. Since these filters capture up to 99.97 percent of all airborne contaminants as small as 0.3 microns, your whole family inhales nothing but clean, fresh air. That’s something your regular HVAC filter just cannot provide.
Using HEPA filters is also beneficial if you are suffering from allergies. Equipping your home with HEPA filters allows you to eliminate most airborne particles that trigger or aggravate allergies. Having said that, other contaminants are not only found in the air but also under your rugs, bedding, and drapes. Therefore, it’s critically important to keep these areas clean. Whenever possible, try to take away the sources of allergies and irritants. Using HEPA filters and frequent home cleaning will protect you from contaminants and keep you safe from allergy and respiratory infection triggers.
Here’s a state-of-the-art HEPA filter from Healthy Climate.
Features of the Healthy Climate High-Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) Filtration System
A Healthy Climate® HEPA system removes nearly all allergy-aggravating contaminants, including some of the smallest particles and bacteria. This is the same HEPA technology used in medical laboratories and hospitals.
Its three-step filtration process includes:
- Pre-filter that captures large dirt and dust particles
- A HEPA filter that captures nearly all remaining particles and germs
- A charcoal/carbon filter that removes odors and chemical vapors. An optional carbon canister is available for enhanced absorption.
The sealed design of the HEPA system prevents particles from bypassing the filter and recirculating in your home. An insulated cabinet prevents condensation.
The Healthy Climate® HEPA system is engineered for easy integration with any heating and cooling system. And unlike the standard one-inch filters found at retail home stores, it provides powerful filtration without restricting your system’s airflow.
