The worldwide spread of COVID-19 has likely shifted your {regular|typical|daily] schedule all over the place.

In uncertain times you can feel good in knowing your house is your safe area. You’re likely spending more time there now. As a result, your indoor air quality is now more critical than ever.

Were you aware 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 houses are tightly sealed, which is good 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 might be problematic since we spend about 90% of our lifetime indoors.

There are many things that can lead to poor indoor air quality, like cleaning products and air fresheners. These can cause headaches and exasperate allergies and asthma.

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

Unsure which solution is best for your house? Our knowledgeable technicians can perform an indoor air quality audit. Based upon our findings, we can then suggest the ideal option for your family’s distinctive needs.

Air Filtration

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

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

We advise installing at minimum MERV 13, like the HC13 Media Air Cleaner, for the optimal effect. This filter gives clearer air while reducing energy use.

High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filters are considered the gold standard in air filtration, as they’re frequently in use in hospitals. They’re effective at capturing 99.97–99.99% of indoor pollutants, like pollen, pet dander and smoke.

Air Purification

Lennox provides some of the best air purification systems you can get. PureAir™ S and Healthy Climate™ PureAir Air Purification Systems provide hospital-grade filtration while managing all categories of indoor air contaminants.

These powerful systems can wipe out:

• 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 added within your comfort unit. Its strong rays eradicate bacteria and mold within seconds.

If your family suffers from allergies or asthma, this equipment could provide relief. Especially if you reside in an extremely hot area where bacteria and mold grow quickly.

This light also has an added perk for your HVAC system. It may help it last for a greater period of time and operate more efficiently, since it keeps the internal parts clean.

Our air quality engineers advise using one of these lights with an enhanced filter, such as our Carbon Clean 16® Media Air Cleaner, for the greatest effect. This filter delivers industry-leading MERV 16 filtration plus carbon-coated fibers to remove particles from your house’s air. It fulfills this without restricting your heating and cooling equipment’s airflow.

Whole-Home Humidifiers

Having even humidity in your house may help keep your loved ones from getting sick when it’s chilly. It can aid sore throats, flaky skin and cracked lips, among added cold weather annoyances.

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

You can accomplish this ideal range by using a whole-home humidifier. This unit usually works with your furnace or air handler to deliver the right level of humidity across your home. Some equipment, like the Healthy Climate® Whole-Home Power Humidifier, have a built-in fan to move humidity during the time your HVAC unit isn’t on.
