The international transmission of COVID-19 has likely turned your {regular|typical|daily] schedule upside down.

When things feel uncertain you can take comfort in knowing your residence is your safe space. You’re possibly spending more time there nowadays. As a result, your indoor air quality is now more critical than ever.

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

Today’s residences are firmly sealed, which is good for energy efficiency. But it also means your indoor air may be worse than the air outside. In fact, the EPA says it can be two to five times worse than outdoors. This can be troublesome since we spend about 90% of our lifetime in a building.

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

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

Unsure which solution is a good fit for your residence? Our expert professionals can perform an indoor air quality audit. Based on the outcome, we can then advise you on the most fitting choice for your family’s distinctive needs.

Air Filtration

When comparing air filters, you should look at the MERV rating, or Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value. This gauges how effectively it filters contaminants.

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

We recommend installing at least MERV 13, for example the HC13 Media Air Cleaner, for the optimal outcome. This filter gives fresher air while lowering energy use.

High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filters are regarded as the benchmark in air filtration, as they’re usually used in hospitals. They’re effective at catching 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 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 units can take care of:

• 99.9% of allergens, like pollen, dust and pet dander.
• 95% of bacteria-sized particles, including ones that cause strep throat.
• 50% of VOCs and odors within 24 hours.

UV Germicidal Lights

A UV germicidal light is added inside your heating and cooling unit. Its powerful rays wipe out bacteria and mold within seconds.

If your family has allergies or asthma, this equipment could offer relief. Especially if you are in a humid part of the country where bacteria and mold grow quickly.

This light also offers an extra perk for your heating and cooling system. It may help it run longer and operate more efficiently, because it keeps the internal components clean.

Our air quality engineers suggest using one of these lights with an improved filter, such as our Carbon Clean 16® Media Air Cleaner, for optimal effect. This filter offers industry-leading MERV 16 filtration combined with carbon-coated fibers to catch particles in your home’s air. It fulfills this without restricting your heating and cooling system’s airflow.

Whole-Home Humidifiers

Having correct humidity in your house can help keep your household in good health during the winter. It can help with sore throats, flaky skin and chapped lips, among added cold weather irritations.

If you don’t know what your home’s humidity level is, we’ll measure it while we perform your indoor air quality audit. While the range fluctuates based on outdoor temperatures, HVAC experts generally recommend keeping it between 40–60 percent.

You can achieve this optimal range by installing a whole-home humidifier. This system usually accompanies your furnace or air handler to give the right level of humidity around your house. Some models, like the Healthy Climate® Whole-Home Power Humidifier, contain an included fan to move humidity during the time your comfort system isn’t operating.
