Residential HVAC Air Purifier Facts
In today’s world, staying health is one of our top priorities. We do not think too much about our indoor air quality. But we would not even consider a cardio workout near a factory spewing pollution into the air. The same is when we look at our indoor air quality. The EPA says that indoor air quality is 5 to ten times more polluted than the outdoor air. This is the number one reason to consider installing an HVAC air purification system or air filtration system. These systems will help promote better health by improving air quality in your home for your family.
So, what exactly does a central air purifier do?
While your standard paper air conditioner filter can help remove dust and some airborne contaminants, they do not remove smaller bacterial and viral allergens. Central air purification systems installed into your air conditioning ductwork will remove dust, mold, mildew, bacteria, viruses, and other airborne particulates.
For allergy and asthma suffers and those with chronic respiratory problems, the installation of an air purifier should be a strong consideration to add to your home’s air conditioning system.
What a air purification system will remove from the air:
When Should You Consider an HVAC Air Purification System?
Household with family members with respiratory issues, chronic pulmonary issues, serious allergies, or asthma sufferers should consider an air filtration system. This is not just an investment in your home, but it is an investment in your health.
High Efficiency Particulate Air or HEPA Air Purification Systems
HEPA air filters can trap about 99% of airborne particles .3 microns or bigger from entering your indoor air circulation. This is one of the most common HVAC air purifier systems available to homeowners.
Carbon Activated Air Filters
Carbon activated air filters are great for homes who have a cigarette smoker or where VOCs are emitted quite often. Examples of VOCs are benzene, ethylene glycol, formaldehyde, methylene chloride, tetrachloroethylene, toluene, xylene, and 1,3-butadiene. Carbon activated air filters are porous to trap airborne contaminants passing through the filter.
HVAC Ultraviolet Light Air Purifiers ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT AIR PURIFIER
HVAC air filtration systems combine UVC light and HEPA air purifiers. The HEPA filter removes larger particles such as dust and debris. The UVC light air purification can kill tiny microorganisms like bacteria and viruses.
Electrostatic Air Purifiers
An electrostatic air purification system uses electrostatic fields to capture and remove contaminants that are as small as .1 microns which included viruses. Static electricity is used to clean the air. Electrostatic charge traps airborne particles within the filter.
Ionizing Air Purification Systems
An ionizing air purification system produces negatively charged particles that will attract positively charged air contaminants. As these groups of particles grow by attractions, they become heavy to be airborne.
