The global transmission of COVID-19 has likely shifted your {regular|typical|daily] schedule upside down.

When things feel uncertain you can feel good in knowing your home is your safe area. You’re likely spending more time there nowadays. That’s why your indoor air quality is now more important than ever.

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

Modern residences are securely closed, which is good for energy efficiency. But it also means your indoor air might be worse than the air outside. In fact, the EPA says it can be two to five times worse than outdoors. This can be troublesome since we spend about 90% of our lifetime indoors.

There are many things that can contribute to poor indoor air quality, such as cleaning products and air fresheners. These might cause headaches and irritate allergies and asthma.

There are a few actions you can take to improve your air quality. Some include enhanced air filters, an air purification system or an ultraviolet (UV) germicidal light.

Not sure which solution is right for your residence? Our expert pros can complete an indoor air quality audit. Based on our findings, we can then suggest the best option for your home’s distinctive needs.

Air Filtration

When browsing air filters, you should look at the MERV rating, or Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value. This assesses how efficiently it filters contaminants.

One of the most ordinary and lowest priced filters, flat fiberglass filters, rank between 1 and 4 on the MERV register. Pleated filters are somewhat better, ranking between 8 and 12.

We recommend installing at least MERV 13, like the HC13 Media Air Cleaner, for the most ideal effect. This filter gives cleaner air while limiting energy needs.

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

Air Purification

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

This powerful equipment can eliminate:

• 99.9% of allergens, including pollen, dust and pet dander.
• 95% of bacteria-sized particles, such as ones that cause strep throat.
• 50% of VOCs and odors within 24 hours.

UV Germicidal Lights

A UV germicidal light is installed inside your heating and cooling equipment. Its powerful rays wipe out bacteria and mold within seconds.

If your family suffers from allergies or asthma, this unit can deliver relief. Especially if you are in a humid climate where bacteria and mold grow quickly.

This light also has an extra perk for your comfort system. It might help it work for a greater period of time and run more efficiently, because it keeps the internal components clean.

Our air quality engineers advise using one of these lights with an improved filter, such as our Carbon Clean 16® Media Air Cleaner, for the greatest results. This filter offers industry-leading MERV 16 filtration in addition to carbon-coated fibers to catch particles in your residence’s air. It fulfills this without restricting your HVAC system’s airflow.

Whole-Home Humidifiers

Acquiring correct humidity in your house could help keep your family from getting sick when it’s cold. It can assist with sore throats, dry skin and chapped lips, in addition to other cold weather annoyances.

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

You can reach this ideal range by installing a whole-home humidifier. This system typically functions with your furnace or air handler to deliver optimal humidity throughout your residence. Some units, like the Healthy Climate® Whole-Home Power Humidifier, use an included fan to spread humidity while your heating unit isn’t on.
