The worldwide transmission of COVID-19 has likely flipped your {regular|typical|daily] schedule upside down.

In uncertain times you can take comfort in knowing your residence is your safe space. You’re possibly spending more time there nowadays. Consequently your indoor air quality is now more critical than ever.

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

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

There are many factors that can cause poor indoor air quality, such as cleaning products and air fresheners. These might lead to headaches and worsen allergies and asthma.

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

Not certain which option is a good fit for your residence? Our expert technicians can conduct an indoor air quality audit. Based on the outcome, we can then advise you on the ideal 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 air.

One of the most ordinary and lowest priced 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 advise upgrading to at minimum MERV 13, like the HC13 Media Air Cleaner, for the most ideal results. This filter provides fresher air while limiting energy needs.

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

Air Purification

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

This powerful equipment can eliminate:

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

UV Germicidal Lights

A UV germicidal light is placed within your heating and cooling unit. Its penetrating rays eliminate bacteria and mold within seconds.

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

This light also offers an extra bonus for your comfort unit. It could help it work longer and heat and cool more efficiently, because it keeps the internal parts clean.

Our air quality engineers advise using one of these lights with an improved filter, such as our Carbon Clean 16® Media Air Cleaner, for the greatest results. This filter provides industry-leading MERV 16 filtration in addition to carbon-coated fibers to trap particles in your home’s air. It does all of this without limiting your HVAC system’s airflow.

Whole-Home Humidifiers

Acquiring balanced humidity in your home may help keep your household from getting sick during the winter. It can help with sore throats, flaky skin and chapped lips, in addition to further cold weather irritations.

If you aren’t aware of what your home’s humidity level is, we’ll measure it while we perform your indoor air quality audit. While the range fluctuates based on outdoor temperatures, HVAC pros typically advise keeping it between 40–60 percent.

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