Air pollution isn’t just a concern outside your walls. Pollutants are inside your home from both internal and external sources. That pollution can negatively affect your family’s health in the short term and over the long. If you’d like to do something about it, Affordable Service Solutions Heating & Air Conditioning can help with air purification services in Irvine, KY. Air purifiers can trap and neutralize many pollutants.
Personalized Air Purification Solutions
The best way to promote better indoor air quality (IAQ) is with a whole-house air purifier. These systems deliver cleaner air to every room in your home. An important air purifier concept is air changes per hour (ACH). ACH indicates how many times an air purifier filters the air in a certain square footage. The average household needs at least 4 ACH. You may need 6 ACH or higher if a family member has asthma or other serious respiratory conditions.
Another important concept is the clean air delivery rate (CADR). ACH indicates how much air a purifier filters. CADR indicates how well it filters. Our technician can help you determine the ideal CADR for your home. The general rule is that you want a CADR at least two-thirds of the square footage. A 2,500-sq-ft home, for instance, would need a 1667 CADR or up.
A third consideration is the filter stages that an air purifier has. Those stages indicate what an air purifier can filter and to what degree. Air purifiers often have a prefilter and a primary mechanical filter to trap dust and other particles. Many have activated charcoal as well. Charcoal absorbs chemicals and gases and is effective for odor control. You can also add a germicidal light to your ducts to eliminate most bacteria and viruses.
Ensure that your HVAC system is promoting good IAQ as well. While an HVAC system isn’t an air purifier, it can help promote either good or poor IAQ. To avoid the latter, schedule two seasonal maintenance appointments a year. Our technician will remove all dust and grime from your system. You can also consider upgrading your HVAC filter. A high-quality filter can help ensure that fewer particles make it onto your HVAC equipment and into your ducts.
