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

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

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

Up-to-date houses are tightly airtight, which is fantastic for energy efficiency. But it also means your home’s air can be worse than the air outside. In reality, the EPA says it can be two to five times worse than outdoors. This might lead to issues since we spend about 90% of our days in a building.

There are many factors that can contribute to poor indoor air quality, like cleaning products and air fresheners. These might cause headaches and worsen allergies and asthma.

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

Unsure which system is right for your home? Our expert professionals can do an indoor air quality audit. Based on the results, we can then recommend the ideal solution for your family’s unique needs.

Air Filtration

When looking at air filters, it’s essential to consider the MERV rating, or Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value. This measures how efficiently it filters pollutants.

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

We advise getting no less than MERV 13, like the HC13 Media Air Cleaner, for the best outcome. This filter gives cleaner air while limiting energy use.

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

Air Purification

Lennox offers some of the most advanced air purification equipment you can buy. PureAir™ S and Healthy Climate™ PureAir Air Purification Systems provide 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 lead to strep throat.
• 50% of VOCs and odors within 24 hours.

UV Germicidal Lights

A UV germicidal light is installed within your comfort system. Its penetrating rays wipe out bacteria and mold within seconds.

If your family struggles with allergies or asthma, this system may provide relief. Especially if you reside in a muggy part of the country where bacteria and mold grow quickly.

This light also offers an extra advantage for your heating and cooling system. It can help it work for a longer period of time and operate more efficiently, because it keeps the internal pieces clean.

Our air quality engineers recommend combining one of these lights with an enhanced filter, such as our Carbon Clean 16® Media Air Cleaner, for the greatest results. This filter provides industry-leading MERV 16 filtration in addition to carbon-coated fibers to trap particles in your home’s air. It does all of this without limiting your comfort system’s airflow.

Whole-Home Humidifiers

Having balanced humidity in your residence might help keep your household in good health when it’s cold. It can assist with sore throats, flaky skin and peeling lips, in addition to added cold weather bothers.

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

You can reach this optimum range by installing a whole-home humidifier. This system generally works with your furnace or air handler to give optimum humidity throughout your house. Some equipment, like the Healthy Climate® Whole-Home Power Humidifier, contain an incorporated fan to spread humidity during the time your heating equipment isn’t on.
