The worldwide transmission of COVID-19 has likely turned your daily routine all over the place.

When things feel uncertain you can take peace in knowing your residence is your safe retreat. You’re probably spending more time there now. That’s why your indoor air quality is now more crucial than ever.

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

Up-to-date houses are securely closed, which is fantastic for energy efficiency. But it also means your home’s air could be worse than the air outside. In reality, 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 days in a building.

There are many elements that can cause poor indoor air quality, such as cleaning products and air fresheners. These may result in headaches and irritate allergies and asthma.

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

Not sure which solution is right for your house? Our knowledgeable techs can do an indoor air quality audit. Based on our findings, we can then suggest the ideal option for your household’s unique needs.

Air Filtration

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

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

We advise buying no less than MERV 13, for example the HC13 Media Air Cleaner, for the best effect. This filter delivers cleaner air while reducing energy needs.

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

Air Purification

Lennox has some of the greatest air purification systems you can buy. PureAir™ S and Healthy Climate™ PureAir Air Purification Systems provide hospital-grade filtration while taking care of all types 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 contribute to strep throat.
  • 50% of VOCs and odors within 24 hours.

UV Germicidal Lights

A UV germicidal light is installed on the inside of your comfort unit. Its penetrating rays wipe out bacteria and mold within seconds.

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

This light also offers an extra perk for your HVAC equipment. It might help it work longer and run more efficiently, because it keeps the internal parts clean.

Our air quality engineers advise installing one of these lights with an improved filter, such as our Carbon Clean 16® Media Air Cleaner, for the greatest outcome. This filter provides industry-leading MERV 16 filtration plus carbon-coated fibers to remove particles from your residence’s air. It does all of this without limiting your HVAC equipment’s airflow.

Whole-Home Humidifiers

Acquiring correct humidity in your house could help keep your loved ones in good health when it’s cold. It can help with sore throats, dry skin and chapped lips, among added 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 off of outdoor temperatures, HVAC experts usually recommend keeping it between 40–60 percent.

You can accomplish this optimum range by using a whole-home humidifier. This equipment generally accompanies your furnace or air handler to provide optimum humidity throughout your home. Some units, like the Healthy Climate® Whole-Home Power Humidifier, have an incorporated fan to spread humidity when your heating system isn’t running.
