Air Filters to Improve Your Indoor Air Quality
Did you know that the EPA lists indoor air pollution as one of the top 5 environmental health risks? According to the EPA, the best way to improve indoor air quality is to remove the source of contamination and bring in fresh outside air. When these two suggestions are not possible due to bad weather or poor outdoor air, then air filters can help. Blue Valley Heating & Cooling offers several types of effective air filters and devices to improve the indoor air quality in your home or business.
Airย Filters toย Improve Indoor Airย Quality
Mechanical Air Filters
Best suited forย capturing large particulates from theย air such asย dust, pollen, animal dander andย mold spores. HEPA filters are the most effective air filters for removing airborne particles. However, because these larger particles doย not float around forย very long, these type ofย filters cannot completely remove them from theย environment.
UVGI Cleaners
This ultraviolet germicidal irradiation cleaner isย designed toย be used inย conjunction with aย filtration system. Itsย purpose isย to destroy viruses, bacteria andย mold through UVย exposure.
Electronic Airย Cleaners
These types ofย devices improve airย quality byย removing irritating particles notย through aย filter butย by creating anย electrostatic attraction. Forย example, ionย generators send outย charged ions which attach toย airborne particles, thereby charging them andย increasing theย rate atย which they will connect toย a wall orย piece ofย furniture andย get outย of theย air.
Gas-Phase Air Filters
Instead ofย removing particles from theย air, these cleaning devices absorb specific gaseous pollutants, according toย whatever type ofย absorbent material they utilize.
PCO Cleaners
Also designed toย target gaseous pollutants, these cleaners employ aย combination ofย a catalyst andย ultraviolet radiation toย convert them into harmless products. Photocatalytic oxidation cleaners doย not remove particulates.
Ozone Generators
Through UVย lamps orย electrical discharges, ozone isย used toย deactivate chemical andย biological pollutants with this system. Itย is important toย point outย that ozone canย irritate theย lungs, which could cancel outย this deviceโs effectiveness.
