Electronic Air Cleaners
Think your indoor air is safe? Think again.
We spend 90% of our lives indoors, where, according to EPA
reports, air quality is frequently more polluted than the air
outdoors. A cubic foot of indoor air can have as many as 30
million pollutants that can trigger allergies, cause headaches,
lung irritation, fatigue and more.
In fact, the American College of Allergists states that 50% of
illnesses are caused or aggravated by poor indoor air quality.
Every person inhales over 3,500 gallons of air each day.
Children inhale more particles for their size then adolescents
or adults.
Heating and cooling equipment also suffers.
So do your energy bills.
A standard 1-inch furnace filter—even a high efficiency 1-inch
filter—has one primary function; to keep large objects from
damaging heating and cooling equipment. That means dust, dirt, pet
dander, hair and other substances can build-up on your heating and
cooling equipment and can reduce its efficiency by as much as 25%.
The answer is a high-efficiency central air cleaner.
Central Air Cleaners are installed as part of your home's
central heating and cooling system — completely out-of-sight
and silent. The resulting clean air is then distributed via your
heating and cooling system's ductwork to your entire home providing these benefits:
Choosing a central air cleaner!
Ask yourself these questions before you choose an air cleaner.
When it comes to cleaning the air in your home there are plenty of choices: air filters, portable air purifiers and
air ionizers. So, where do you begin? Answering the following questions can help you decide
Why do I need an air cleaner?
Some of the more common answers include:
• You or someone in your family suffer from seasonal
allergies.
• You are concerned about airborne mold spores.
• You have pets.
• You are concerned about airborne virus or bacteria.
• You want to protect the life and efficiency of your heating
and cooling equipment.
What do you have to remove from the air
to meet your needs?
Some air cleaners only remove very large visible particles to
protect your home's heating and cooling equipment. Others
are effective on allergen-sized particles. Still others are
effective all of the way down to virus-sized particles. The best
air cleaners take care of the issues you need addressed,
whether it's equipment protection, allergy relief or providing a
healthy home.
How many rooms do I want to clean?
The best answer is, "Every room in my home." There is no
reason to consider portable air purifiers or ionizing room
units when a central air cleaner is your best solution.
Portables can be unsightly, noisy and require frequent
maintenance. And it can be very costly to purchase one for
every room in your home.
How will the product perform over time?
Installed central air cleaners will always perform better than
portable units. However, many central air cleaners lose
efficiency as they collect contaminants, starting the first day
they are installed.
How easy or difficult will it be to service
and maintain?
Air cleaners vary in their maintenance frequency, some as
often as once a month. Some require washing or vacuuming.
