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

When times feel uncertain you can take peace in knowing your home is your safe retreat. You’re possibly spending more time there today. That’s why your indoor air quality is now more important than ever.

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

Up-to-date residences are tightly closed, which is fantastic for energy efficiency. But it also means your home’s air may be worse than the air outside. In reality, the EPA says it can be two to five times worse than outdoors. This may be problematic since we spend about 90% of our time indoors.

There are many factors that can cause poor indoor air quality, like cleaning products and air fresheners. These might result in headaches and worsen allergies and asthma.

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

Not sure which system is a good fit for your home? Our knowledgeable pros can complete an indoor air quality audit. Based on the results, we can then suggest the most fitting option for your family’s distinct needs.

Air Filtration

When looking at air filters, it’s important to review the MERV rating, or Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value. This assesses how effectively it filters air.

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

We advise buying at least MERV 13, such as the HC13 Media Air Cleaner, for the most ideal outcome. This filter delivers cleaner air while limiting energy consumption.

High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filters are considered the benchmark in air filtration, because they’re frequently installed in hospitals. They’re effective at trapping 99.97–99.99% of indoor pollutants, such as pollen, pet dander and smoke.

Air Purification

Lennox provides some of the greatest air purification equipment you can get. PureAir™ S and Healthy Climate™ PureAir Air Purification Systems deliver hospital-grade filtration while handling all categories of indoor air contaminants.

These powerful systems can wipe out:

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

UV Germicidal Lights

A UV germicidal light is added within your HVAC system. Its penetrating rays eliminate bacteria and mold within seconds.

If your family suffers from allergies or asthma, this system may deliver relief. Especially if you live in an extremely hot climate where bacteria and mold thrive.

This light also provides an additional perk for your comfort equipment. It can help it work for a greater period of time and run more efficiently, as it keeps the internal components clean.

Our air quality engineers suggest combining one of these lights with an improved filter, such as our Carbon Clean 16® Media Air Cleaner, for the best effect. This filter delivers industry-leading MERV 16 filtration combined with carbon-coated fibers to catch particles in your residence’s air. It does all of this without restricting your HVAC unit’s airflow.

Whole-Home Humidifiers

Getting balanced humidity in your residence can help keep your loved ones from getting sick during the winter. It can aid sore throats, flaky skin and peeling lips, amidst added cold weather irritations.

If you don’t know what your home’s humidity percentage is, we’ll figure that out while we perform your indoor air quality audit. While the range fluctuates based upon 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 the right level of humidity around your house. Some units, like the Healthy Climate® Whole-Home Power Humidifier, use an included fan to move humidity while your heating equipment isn’t running.
