The worldwide growth of COVID-19 has likely turned your typical routine into a jumble.

When times feel uncertain you can take peace in knowing your residence is your safe area. You’re possibly spending more time there now. As a result, your indoor air quality is now more important than ever.

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

Modern houses are securely closed, which is good for energy efficiency. But it also means your indoor air might be worse than the air outside. In fact, the EPA says it can be two to five times worse than outdoors. This may be problematic since we spend about 90% of our days indoors.

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

There are several things you can do to improve your air quality. Some include enhanced air filters, an air purification system or an ultraviolet (UV) germicidal light.

Not certain which solution is a good fit for your residence? Our expert pros can do an indoor air quality audit. Based on the outcome, we can then suggest the ideal choice for your household’s distinct needs.

Air Filtration

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

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

We suggest installing at least MERV 13, for example the HC13 Media Air Cleaner, for the optimal outcome. This filter provides cleaner air while reducing energy consumption.

High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filters are regarded as the benchmark 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 greatest air purification equipment you can purchase. PureAir™ S and Healthy Climate™ PureAir Air Purification Systems offer hospital-grade filtration while handling all types of indoor air contaminants.

This powerful equipment can eliminate:

  • 99.9% of allergens, such as 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 comfort unit. Its penetrating rays wipe out bacteria and mold within seconds.

If your family struggles with allergies or asthma, this system can provide relief. Especially if you are in a muggy climate where bacteria and mold grow quickly.

This light also provides an additional bonus for your heating and cooling equipment. It may help it work for a greater period of time and run more efficiently, since it keeps the internal components clean.

Our air quality engineers suggest using one of these lights with an enhanced filter, such as our Carbon Clean 16® Media Air Cleaner, for the greatest results. This filter delivers industry-leading MERV 16 filtration in addition to carbon-coated fibers to remove particles from your residence’s air. It does all of this without restricting your heating and cooling system’s airflow.

Whole-Home Humidifiers

Having correct humidity in your home can help keep your household from getting sick when it’s chilly. It can help with sore throats, itchy skin and cracked lips, among added cold weather annoyances.

If you aren’t sure of what your house’s humidity percentage is, we’ll determine it while we do your indoor air quality audit. While the range changes based upon outdoor temperatures, HVAC pros generally advise keeping it between 40–60 percent.

You can accomplish this optimum range with a whole-home humidifier. This equipment usually functions with your furnace or air handler to deliver optimal humidity around your residence. Some equipment, like the Healthy Climate® Whole-Home Power Humidifier, contain an incorporated fan to move humidity when your heating unit isn’t running.
