The worldwide transmission of COVID-19 has likely turned your daily schedule into a jumble.

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

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

Up-to-date residences are securely sealed, which is fantastic for energy efficiency. But it also means your indoor air can be worse than the air outside. In actuality, the EPA says it can be two to five times worse than outdoors. This can be troublesome since we spend about 90% of our lifetime inside.

There are many things that can contribute to poor indoor air quality, such as cleaning products and air fresheners. These can result in headaches and worsen allergies and asthma.

There are a few 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 certain which option is right for your residence? Our expert pros can complete an indoor air quality audit. Based upon our findings, we can then advise you on the most fitting choice for your household’s distinctive needs.

Air Filtration

When looking at air filters, it’s essential to review the MERV rating, or Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value. This gauges how efficiently it filters air.

One of the most common and most economical filters, flat fiberglass filters, are rated between 1 and 4 on the MERV system. Pleated filters are somewhat better, graded between 8 and 12.

We recommend getting no less than 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 gold standard in air filtration, since they’re typically in use in hospitals. They’re effective at capturing 99.97–99.99% of indoor pollutants, including pollen, pet dander and smoke.

Air Purification

Lennox offers some of the best air purification equipment you can buy. PureAir™ S and Healthy Climate™ PureAir Air Purification Systems deliver hospital-grade filtration while managing all categories of indoor air contaminants.

These powerful units can take care of:

  • 99.9% of allergens, such as pollen, dust and pet dander.
  • 95% of bacteria-sized particles, like 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 HVAC system. Its powerful rays wipe out bacteria and mold within seconds.

If your family has allergies or asthma, this unit might give relief. Especially if you are in an extremely hot part of the country where bacteria and mold grow quickly.

This light also provides an extra perk for your HVAC system. It could help it work for a longer period of time and run more efficiently, because it keeps the internal pieces 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 trap particles in your residence’s air. It completes this without limiting your comfort equipment’s airflow.

Whole-Home Humidifiers

Having balanced humidity in your home might help keep your loved ones in good health when it’s chilly. It can aid sore throats, flaky skin and peeling lips, in addition to added cold weather bothers.

If you aren’t aware of what your residence’s humidity range is, we’ll determine it while we perform your indoor air quality audit. While the range fluctuates based off of outdoor temperatures, HVAC experts usually advise keeping it between 40–60 percent.

You can reach this optimum range by installing a whole-home humidifier. This unit typically accompanies your furnace or air handler to provide optimal humidity around your home. Some models, like the Healthy Climate® Whole-Home Power Humidifier, use an incorporated fan to spread humidity while your heating system isn’t operating.
