Professional Air Purification Equipment
Different types of filtration exist, but it’s beneficial to use a whole-house unit that connects to your HVAC system. An air purifier for your home will allow the removal of contaminants from all the air passing through your heating and cooling equipment. Consider ultra-efficient filtration such as high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters, which are effective at removing up to 99.97% of the particulate matter in your indoor air. You can combine HEPA filtration systems with other features, such as activated carbon, for the removal of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). This also helps improve the smell and freshness of your home.
Consider using UV light filtration as part of your HVAC setup. This equipment uses UV-C rays to damage bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens that have the potential to make you sick. This isn’t an option that traps particulates, so you’ll want to combine it with other methods for optimal indoor air quality.
Be sure to keep up with changing the filters for your filtration equipment on a regular basis. In most cases, filters require replacing once every 30 to 90 days. There are also washable versions. If you allow clogs to form on your filter, this can impede the process of removing contaminants. It can also cause damage to the other components of your HVAC system. You may see an increase in repairs or equipment replacement if you have poor indoor air quality that you are not proactive about.
