Indoor Air Quality - Air Filtration
Air filters capture small particles of dust, pollen, and other contaminants that
ride on currents in the air stream.
- Air filtration captures particles
that could otherwise circulate through your air conditioning and heating system
and cause health problems. Filters also protect the air conditioning and heating
system, as well as the contents in the occupied space.
- Filter
maintenance is essential in maintaining the efficiency and life of your system.
Regularly change or clean your filters.
- High efficiency filters are
important for the elderly, those suffering from asthma or allergies, and others
with a compromised immune system. These filters can clean more than 99% of respirable
particles from the air.
- Air filters available: throw-away, pleated, media,
HEPA, and electronic air cleaners, to name a few
Duct cleaning and filtration must be linked together to achieve a complete Indoor Air
Quality solution.
Upgrading your filtration alone leaves existing contaminants in the duct system that can cause IAQ problems.
Before upgrading to a better quality of filter, it is essential to ensure that the entire mechanical system
is clean.
Which filter is right for your needs? Your system's filtration must be upgraded if you are using standard
disposable filters. They have little ability to capture irritating particles from the environment and most are
less than 6% efficient. There are many affordable solutions to protect your indoor environment. To determine
which one is best suited for your particular type of furnace or air conditioner, contact an ENVIROtech
representative at Harding Heating & Cooling.
