The number of home’s experiencing indoor air pollution is growing, due in part to the construction of tighter homes for greater energy efficiency. Contaminated indoor air contributes to the worsening of chronic conditions such as allergies and asthma, and encourages ill health effects even in healthy persons. Utilizing HEPA air filters in your heating and air conditioning system can assist you in achieving a greater air quality in your home or business.

Providing a Higher Standard in Air Quality

High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filters are 99.7% effective at removing air born particles 0.3 microns or above. HEPA filters capture particles through the use of a diffusion filter. A pre-filter is utilized to capture larger particles, preventing them from blocking air flow through the filter. According to the Indoor Air Quality Association, HEPA air filters remove dangerous contaminates from the air moving through them, making your home’s indoor air safer to breathe. HEPA filters are one of the most affordable air purifying systems available.

HEPA air filters are especially useful in removing allergen particles like pollen and mold and other harmful toxins. In fact, these filters have been in use in medical institutions since the 1940s to prevent the spread of viral and bacterial diseases. Clean filters are essential in their ability to trap these organisms, as well as allowing unrestricted airflow in the heating and air conditioning system for the greatest efficiency and performance.
