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

When times feel uncertain you can take peace in knowing your house is your safe area. You’re possibly spending more time there today. Consequently your indoor air quality is now more critical than ever.

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

Today’s homes are tightly sealed, which is great for energy efficiency. But it also means your inside air may be worse than the air outside. In actuality, the EPA says it can be two to five times worse than outdoors. This can cause a problem since we spend about 90% of our days indoors.

There are many factors that can lead to poor indoor air quality, including cleaning products and air fresheners. These could lead to headaches and worsen allergies and asthma.

There are several actions you can take to enhance your air quality. Some include improved air filters, an air purification system or an ultraviolet (UV) germicidal light.

Not certain which system is best for your house? Our expert pros can perform an indoor air quality audit. Based off of the results, we can then suggest the most fitting choice for your household’s distinct needs.

Air Filtration

When looking at air filters, it’s essential to review the MERV rating, or Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value. This gauges how successfully it filters contaminants.

One of the most common and lowest priced filters, flat fiberglass filters, are rated between 1 and 4 on the MERV register. Pleated filters are a little bit better, ranking between 8 and 12.

We suggest installing at minimum MERV 13, such as the HC13 Media Air Cleaner, for the most ideal results. This filter delivers cleaner air while lowering energy consumption.

High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filters are regarded as the benchmark in air filtration, because they’re typically 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 provides some of the most advanced air purification systems you can buy. PureAir™ S and Healthy Climate™ PureAir Air Purification Systems deliver hospital-grade filtration while handling 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 added within your comfort equipment. Its strong rays wipe out bacteria and mold within seconds.

If your family has allergies or asthma, this unit might offer relief. Especially if you are in an extremely hot part of the country where bacteria and mold grow quickly.

This light also has an additional bonus for your HVAC equipment. It might help it last for a longer period of time and heat and cool more efficiently, as it keeps the internal parts clean.

Our air quality engineers recommend installing one of these lights with an improved filter, such as our Carbon Clean 16® Media Air Cleaner, for the best effect. This filter delivers industry-leading MERV 16 filtration plus carbon-coated fibers to trap particles in your home’s air. It does all of this without decreasing your heating and cooling unit’s airflow.

Whole-Home Humidifiers

Getting even humidity in your residence can help keep your loved ones from getting sick when it’s cold. It can aid sore throats, flaky skin and peeling lips, amidst other cold weather annoyances.

If you don’t know what your house’s humidity level is, we’ll measure it while we perform your indoor air quality audit. While the range varies based on outdoor temperatures, HVAC pros usually advise keeping it between 40–60 percent.

You can achieve this optimum range by using a whole-home humidifier. This equipment typically functions with your furnace or air handler to deliver optimal humidity throughout your home. Some models, like the Healthy Climate® Whole-Home Power Humidifier, have an incorporated fan to spread humidity during the time your comfort system isn’t operating.
