Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) studies show that indoor air may contain up to ten times more pollution than outside your door. This pollution—within space you occupy for many hours each day—can irritate the eyes, nose, and throat, causing headaches, dizziness, and fatigue as well as aggravate asthma, allergy, and cold/flu conditions.
Consider these facts:
These effects from bacteria, viruses, mold, and other microscopic waste and spores are especially annoying—and can be fatal—for weaker inhabitants and visitors, such as infants, the elderly, and pets.
Dirty air does more than just harm the health of your family and visitors, however. It also harms your heating and air conditioning systems. Microscopic particulates stick to the internal components of your systems and can damage motors and fans, which causes less efficient heating and cooling transfer and extra effort from your machines.
One heavy-duty, more expensive solution is to install whole-house UV lights in the ductwork of your central air conditioning system.
A more affordable solution (albeit one that requires a bit more work from changing filters) to install a whole house air filter system in your ductwork.
These paper or synthetic air filters do a fine job at trapping particulates down to fractions of a micron in size. You can simply discard used filters, and some models offer a washable, removable pre-filter to catch larger particles first, and an optional charcoal after-filter to help remove common household odors such as from smoke or pets.
Below are some examples of UV lighting systems that we sell and install:
