The international transmission of COVID-19 has likely turned your {regular|typical|daily] routine into a jumble.

In uncertain times you can feel good in knowing your home is your safe retreat. You’re possibly spending more time there now. As a result, your indoor air quality is now more critical than ever.

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

Up-to-date homes are securely sealed, which is great for energy efficiency. But it also means your home’s air might be worse than the air outside. In fact, the EPA says it can be two to five times worse than outdoors. This could be troublesome since we spend about 90% of our lifetime in a building.

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

There’s a combination of actions you can take to enhance your air quality. Some include enhanced air filters, an air purification system or an ultraviolet (UV) germicidal light.

Not certain which system is a good fit for your house? Our skilled technicians can complete an indoor air quality audit. Based on the results, we can then recommend the ideal solution for your household’s distinct needs.

Air Filtration

When browsing air filters, it’s important to look at the MERV rating, or Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value. This assesses how efficiently it filters contaminants.

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

We recommend getting at minimum MERV 13, for instance the HC13 Media Air Cleaner, for the optimal results. This filter delivers fresher air while lowering energy needs.

High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filters are considered the gold standard in air filtration, because they’re usually installed in hospitals. They’re effective at catching 99.97–99.99% of indoor pollutants, including pollen, pet dander and smoke.

Air Purification

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

These powerful units can eliminate:

• 99.9% of allergens, including pollen, dust and pet dander.
• 95% of bacteria-sized particles, such as ones that lead 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 comfort system. Its penetrating rays wipe out bacteria and mold within seconds.

If your family struggles with allergies or asthma, this unit might deliver relief. Especially if you live in a muggy area where bacteria and mold thrive.

This light also has an additional advantage for your heating and cooling equipment. It can help it last for a greater period of time and run more efficiently, since it keeps the internal components clean.

Our air quality engineers recommend using one of these lights with an enhanced filter, such as our Carbon Clean 16® Media Air Cleaner, for optimal results. This filter delivers industry-leading MERV 16 filtration combined with carbon-coated fibers to trap particles in your house’s air. It fulfills this without restricting your HVAC equipment’s airflow.

Whole-Home Humidifiers

Acquiring balanced humidity in your home could help keep your household healthy when it’s chilly. It can aid sore throats, itchy skin and peeling lips, among other cold weather annoyances.

If you aren’t sure of what your home’s humidity percentage is, we’ll measure it during 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 accomplish this optimum range by using a whole-home humidifier. This equipment generally accompanies your furnace or air handler to deliver optimum humidity across your home. Some equipment, like the Healthy Climate® Whole-Home Power Humidifier, have an incorporated fan to circulate humidity when your comfort equipment isn’t operating.
