There are a wide range of whole-house air purification solutions on the market. Among the most popular is an air scrubber, which we can install on the return side of your central HVAC system. There are also air purifiers with their ducts, perfect for homes with ductless mini-splits.
In either case, these systems typically have several stages to help improve indoor air quality. A prefilter traps the largest particles and helps extend the life of the more expensive filter media. An activated carbon filter provides additional prefiltration and absorptive filtration. It absorbs unpleasant odors, gases, airborne chemicals, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), etc.
The final stage is the primary mechanical filter. It’s usually a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter. HEPA filters trap 99.97% of all particulate matter as small as 0.3 microns. It also traps a significant amount of delicate particulate matter, which science links to many cardiovascular and respiratory diseases.
We recommend augmenting your whole-house air purification by installing ultraviolet (UV) lamps in your ducts. UV lamps give off a germicidal light that neutralizes bacteria, viruses, dust mites, eggs, mold, and fungal spores.
Another way to improve indoor air quality is to upgrade your HVAC filter. HVAC filters come with a minimum efficiency reporting value (MERV) rating. Most modern HVAC systems support MERV rating 8 through 13. Despite this, many homeowners use a filter rated around MERV 4. At MERV 13, you keep most allergens from the system, including pollen, dust, and pet dander.
The benefits of whole-house air filtration include:
Fewer headaches
Better sleep and less snoring
Improved skin and hair health
Reduced allergy triggers and symptoms
Less susceptibility to infections and other illnesses
