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

When things feel uncertain you can take peace in knowing your house is your safe retreat. You’re possibly spending more time there now. As a result, your indoor air quality is now more crucial than ever.

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

Up-to-date homes are firmly closed, which is good for energy efficiency. But it also means your indoor air could be worse than the air outside. In reality, the EPA says it can be two to five times worse than outdoors. This might be problematic since we spend about 90% of our days indoors.

There are many factors that can contribute to poor indoor air quality, including cleaning products and air fresheners. These might create 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 certain which option is best for your home? Our expert technicians can complete an indoor air quality audit. Based upon our findings, we can then advise you on the ideal solution for your home’s distinctive needs.

Air Filtration

When comparing air filters, it’s essential to consider the MERV rating, or Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value. This assesses how successfully it filters pollutants.

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

We advise getting at minimum MERV 13, such as the HC13 Media Air Cleaner, for the optimal effect. This filter delivers clearer air while limiting energy use.

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

Air Purification

Lennox has some of the greatest air purification units you can get. PureAir™ S and Healthy Climate™ PureAir Air Purification Systems deliver hospital-grade filtration while taking care of all kinds of indoor air contaminants.

These powerful systems can eliminate:

  • 99.9% of allergens, like pollen, dust and pet dander.
  • 95% of bacteria-sized particles, including ones that contribute 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 suffers from allergies or asthma, this unit can provide relief. Especially if you reside in a muggy part of the country where bacteria and mold thrive.

This light also has an additional perk for your HVAC unit. It could help it run longer and operate more efficiently, since it keeps the internal pieces clean.

Our air quality engineers recommend installing one of these lights with an upgraded filter, such as our Carbon Clean 16® Media Air Cleaner, for optimal results. This filter offers industry-leading MERV 16 filtration plus carbon-coated fibers to remove particles from your home’s air. It does all of this without decreasing your HVAC unit’s airflow.

Whole-Home Humidifiers

Acquiring correct humidity in your residence could help keep your household in good health when it’s chilly. It can aid sore throats, dry skin and chapped lips, amidst further cold weather irritations.

If you aren’t sure of what your residence’s humidity range is, we’ll determine it while we do your indoor air quality audit. While the range changes based on outdoor temperatures, HVAC professionals usually recommend keeping it between 40–60 percent.

You can reach this optimum range by installing a whole-home humidifier. This equipment usually accompanies your furnace or air handler to give optimal humidity around your home. Some units, like the Healthy Climate® Whole-Home Power Humidifier, have a built-in fan to move humidity during the time your comfort system isn’t on.
