The international transmission of COVID-19 has likely flipped your regular routine upside down.

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

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

Today’s houses are firmly sealed, which is fantastic for energy efficiency. But it also means your indoor air might be worse than the air outside. In actuality, the EPA says it can be two to five times worse than outdoors. This can lead to issues since we spend about 90% of our lifetime indoors.

There are many elements that can lead to poor indoor air quality, including cleaning products and air fresheners. These may lead to headaches and exasperate allergies and asthma.

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

Not sure which option is a good fit for your house? Our expert professionals can complete an indoor air quality audit. Based on our findings, we can then advise you on the best option for your household’s distinctive needs.

Air Filtration

When comparing air filters, it’s important to review the MERV rating, or Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value. This measures how efficiently it filters contaminants.

One of the most common and lowest priced filters, flat fiberglass filters, are graded between 1 and 4 on the MERV scale. Pleated filters are a little bit better, rated between 8 and 12.

We recommend getting at minimum MERV 13, for instance the HC13 Media Air Cleaner, for the most ideal effect. This filter gives clearer air while lowering energy needs.

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

Air Purification

Lennox has some of the most advanced air purification equipment you can buy. PureAir™ S and Healthy Climate™ PureAir Air Purification Systems deliver hospital-grade filtration while taking care of all categories of indoor air contaminants.

This powerful equipment can take care of:

  • 99.9% of allergens, like 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 installed within your HVAC unit. Its penetrating rays eradicate bacteria and mold within seconds.

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

This light also offers an additional bonus for your heating and cooling unit. It could help it last for a longer period of time and operate more efficiently, as it keeps the internal components clean.

Our air quality engineers recommend combining one of these lights with an improved filter, such as our Carbon Clean 16® Media Air Cleaner, for the greatest effect. This filter offers industry-leading MERV 16 filtration combined with carbon-coated fibers to catch particles in your residence’s air. It fulfills this without limiting your comfort unit’s airflow.

Whole-Home Humidifiers

Acquiring correct humidity in your house might help keep your household in good health during the winter. It can help with sore throats, flaky skin and cracked lips, in addition to other cold weather bothers.

If you aren’t aware of what your residence’s humidity percentage is, we’ll measure it when we complete your indoor air quality audit. While the range changes based upon outdoor temperatures, HVAC professionals usually suggest keeping it between 40–60 percent.

You can achieve this optimal range by installing a whole-home humidifier. This system usually accompanies your furnace or air handler to provide optimum humidity throughout your house. Some models, like the Healthy Climate® Whole-Home Power Humidifier, use a built-in fan to circulate humidity when your heating system isn’t operating.
