Why You Should Consider Investing in an Air Filtration System
The comfort of your home relies on healthy air quality. Without a form of filtration, air quality can slowly degrade in quality due to factors like humidity changes or general wear from systems like your air conditioner.
Over time, these factors may result in poor indoor air quality, which can lead to several health risks. Everything from respiratory issues and allergies to skin irritation and even carbon monoxide poisoning can occur from compromised indoor air.
Benefits of Whole-Home Air Filtration Systems
Installing a whole-home air filtration system comes with a lot of benefits, such as:
- Relieves Allergy & Asthma Symptoms: Whole-home air filtration systems remove a wide range of airborne contaminants, including dust, pollen, pet dander, smoke, and even the smell of burned food. This can significantly improve indoor air quality, making it easier to breathe and reducing allergy and asthma symptoms.
- Improves Indoor Air Quality: If you’re a pet owner, a smoker, or just like to try strong-smelling foods, an air filtration system helps neutralize odors and filter them out of the air.
- Enhances Restful Sleep: The quality of the air we breathe can have a major impact on our sleep quality.
- Whole-Home vs. Portable Air Filtration: As the name implies, a whole-home system filters air from the entire home instead of a single room. Besides this obvious benefit, it also operates quieter than portable air filters and will require less cleaning, electricity, and filter purchases than if you are running several portable filters.
Improve Indoor Air Quality With the Right HVAC Air Filter
Charles Stone’s whole-home air filtration systems are built to perform and last. Each filtration system is not one-size-fits-all, as filter strength can vary. When filtration is too weak, it leaves pollutants in the air, but if too strong, airflow gets obstructed and strains your HVAC. Finding the perfect filter system can be stressful, but that’s what our crew is for.
Charles Stones’ HVAC experts incorporate full inspections with our installation processes, ensuring that the filtration system fits your home and HVAC like a glove. Our seamless integration gets your filter in place fast, so you can breathe a sigh of relief.
Types of Whole-Home Air Filters
As filtration technology advances, new types of filters join the family in the battle against unhealthy air. With so many to choose from, which one fits your home the best? Here at Charles Stone, our customers have the choice of:
- Electrostatic Filters: A filter that attracts particles with electricity, trapping them within paper or cotton fibers. When stuck, they are left unable to enter into the air circulation. The major draw of these filters is the affordability, allowing them to be washed and reused.
HEPA Filters: These filters are ideal for those with respiratory issues. HEPA filters trap even the smallest of particles, clearing the air of over 99% of contaminants. Even better, these only need to be replaced once every few years. Where they fall flat is with odors, as the filter is not able to remove pungent fumes.
UV Filters: Utilizing an ultraviolet light, the filter disinfects circulating HVAC air, clearing out any allergens before they reach you. Homeowners looking to filter out dust and other particles as UV only work best at eliminating bacteria. - Media Filters: Built wide and sturdy, these filters come with the ability to prevent static pressure, sealing away pollutants that come into contact with them.
- Pleated Filter: This filter is made with polyester and cotton to fold and trap any contaminants. With the added pleats, the material can catch any secure dander and mold present in the air. The downside is that the material can cause your HVAC to lose a bit in terms of efficiency as it becomes harder to circulate the air.
The Impact of MERV Ratings on HVAC Efficiency
MERV stands for ‘minimum efficiency reporting value,’ which represents the filter’s operating efficiency. A good way of thinking of this is that a MERV rating denotes how well a filter clears out contaminants. For example, if you check the rating on a built-in furnace filter, it may come up depressingly short.
But MERV ratings can also become too high, as the filtration is too strong and begins to directly affect your HVAC’s performance. The filters can provide too much resistance, reducing the airflow and thus lowering the quality of your heating and cooling.
Finding the balance in a perfect MERV rating can be difficult, so do the simple thing and call Charles Stone. Our HVAC specialists find the perfect fitting air filtration installation, keeping those harmful particles away and preserving your HVAC’s performance.
