Healthy Home System Home Air Filters
Did you know that:
- 80% of homeowners consider Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) a significant problem?
- 85% of homeowners mentioned having smokers, asthmatics, excess dust, or pets in the home, signaling the need for better IAQ products?
- 45% of homes have someone with a respiratory ailment?
- 33% of homeowners believe that IAQ is as important as energy efficiency and are willing to spend over $700 to improve it?
While most furnace and HVAC filters do an ok job of filtering air of large particles from the air, these systems typically only run when heating or cooling is needed like in the summer and winter. This means that the filters are only trapping particles or pollutants from the air when the system is in operation. The spring and fall are peak allergy seasons and typically the AC or heat is not running during these seasons.
According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), indoor air contains three types of pollutants that trigger allergic reactions:
- 35% of allergic reactions are due to Particulates
- 31% of allergic reactions are due to VOCs
- 34% of allergic reactions are due to Germs
To reduce the risk of allergic reaction, the Environmental Protection Agency recommends three ways to improve indoor air quality:
- Control contact with indoor airborne allergens
- Ventilate indoor areas well
- Use air cleaners to clean indoor air
Using a portable air cleaner and/or upgrading the air filter in your furnace or central HVAC system can help to improve IAQ. In fact, filtering air code updates to the California Title 24 Part 6 code state all HVAC systems, whether a large air handler in an office building or a small fan coil in a hotel room, will require MERV 13 filters. Previously the requirement was MERV 8. Particulate filtration alone, however, does not address the other two pollutants: VOCs and germs. Controlling 3 Types of Pollutants in 3 Ways
