A typical American home has a furnace to heat the house during winter and an air conditioner to cool it down in the summer. While these appliances usually come with a built-in filter, they won’t be enough to thoroughly clean the air that circulates around your home.
In recent years, more and more homes are designed to become as energy-efficient as possible. When a home is built tight, it leaves no space for polluted air to escape.
A majority of the people understands the risk of outdoor air pollution but not many have an awareness that their indoor air is potentially more contaminated and can negatively affect their health.
Indoor air pollution is a very real and perilous because indoor air is far more filled with pollutants than outdoor air. The World Health Organization estimates that about 4.3 million people a year die from the exposure to indoor air pollution.
Marsh Heating and Air Conditioning is an HVAC company in Brooklyn Park MN that cares about your family’s health. That is why we partnered with Lennox Industries to give you energy-efficient air cleaning systems designed to improve your indoor air.
What is Indoor Air Pollution?
It refers to the physical, chemical, and biological attributes of air in the indoor environment within a home, building, or an institution or commercial facility.
In metropolitan areas, exposure to indoor air pollution has increased due to a number of reasons, including:
- the construction of more tightly sealed buildings
- diminished ventilation
- the use of synthetic materials for building and furnishing
- and the use of chemical products, pesticides, and household care products.
The Effects of Indoor Air Pollution
Usually, indoor air quality problems can only cause discomfort. Most people feel better as soon as they remove the source of the contamination. However, some contaminants can cause diseases that show up much later, such as epistaxis, dyspnea, rhinitis, nasal congestion, pharyngitis, severe lung disease, nausea, vomiting, anorexia Myalgia, and hearing loss.
Air Purification Products From Lennox
There are a variety of air purification products available on the market today. Below are three of the best systems you might want to look into.
Lennox Healthy Climate PureAir
PureAir™ is an air purification system that cleans the air in every room in the home. Many air cleaning systems filter out particles. Some fight germs, and some attack odors. But only PureAir™ Air Purification System fights all three types of indoor air pollutants: airborne particles, germs and bacteria, chemical odors, and vapors.
It eliminates 99.9% of all particles like pollen, dust and pet dander. The system removes 90% of viruses such as MERS A, flu, and cold. It removes and destroys approximately 50% of household odors and chemical vapors in a 24-hour period.
It’s a great solution for improving the quality of the air in your home as it provides highly effective air filtration without using much electricity.
It also helps the environment by reducing the ozone generated by other sources in your home through its carbon filtration.
Lennox HEPA Filtration System
A Healthy Climate® HEPA system is capable of removing nearly all allergy-aggravating contaminants, including some of the smallest particles and bacteria. It is the same HEPA technology used in medical and laboratory facilities.
The sealed design of the HEPA system prevents particles from bypassing the filter and recirculating in your home while an insulated cabinet prevents condensation.
