The international transmission of COVID-19 has likely flipped your daily calendar all over the place.

In uncertain times you can take peace in knowing your home is your safe area. You’re likely spending more time there today. Consequently your indoor air quality is now more important than ever.

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

Up-to-date houses are tightly sealed, which is great for energy efficiency. But it also means your indoor 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 be problematic since we spend about 90% of our lifetime indoors.

There are many elements that can cause poor indoor air quality, like cleaning products and air fresheners. These might lead to headaches and exasperate allergies and asthma.

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

Not certain which solution is right for your home? Our skilled pros can perform an indoor air quality audit. Based off of our findings, we can then suggest the best choice for your household’s distinctive needs.

Air Filtration

When looking at air filters, it’s important to look at the MERV rating, or Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value. This assesses how effectively it filters contaminants.

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

We suggest installing no less than MERV 13, for example the HC13 Media Air Cleaner, for the best effect. This filter delivers fresher air while lowering energy needs.

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