The global spread of COVID-19 has likely flipped your daily schedule upside down.

When times feel uncertain you can take comfort in knowing your house is your safe space. You’re probably spending more time there nowadays. As a result, your indoor air quality is now more important than ever.

Did you realize we can install indoor air quality products in your residence that deliver hospital-grade filtration? These products can eliminate bacteria from your air, as well as allergens, odors and volatile organic compounds (VOCs).

Modern homes are tightly closed, which is good for energy efficiency. But it also means your indoor air may be worse than the air outside. In reality, the EPA says it can be two to five times worse than outdoors. This might cause a problem since we spend about 90% of our time in a building.

There are many elements that can cause poor indoor air quality, including cleaning products and air fresheners. These may result in headaches and worsen allergies and asthma.

There are a few actions you can take to improve your air quality. Some include better air filters, an air purification system or an ultraviolet (UV) germicidal light.

Unsure which system is best for your home? Our knowledgeable techs can do an indoor air quality audit. Based off of the outcome, we can then advise you on the ideal solution for your household’s unique needs.

Air Filtration

When browsing air filters, it’s important to consider the MERV rating, or Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value. This gauges how efficiently it filters pollutants.

One of the most ordinary and lowest priced filters, flat fiberglass filters, rank between 1 and 4 on the MERV system. Pleated filters are slightly better, ranking between 8 and 12.

We recommend buying no less than MERV 13, like the HC13 Media Air Cleaner, for the optimal results. This filter delivers cleaner air while limiting energy consumption.

High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filters are considered the benchmark in air filtration, because they’re usually in use in hospitals. They’re effective at catching 99.97–99.99% of indoor pollutants, like pollen, pet dander and smoke.

Air Purification

Lennox has some of the greatest air purification equipment you can buy. PureAir™ S and Healthy Climate™ PureAir Air Purification Systems provide hospital-grade filtration while taking care of all kinds of indoor air contaminants.

These powerful systems can eliminate:

  • 99.9% of allergens, like pollen, dust and pet dander.
  • 95% of bacteria-sized particles, such as ones that cause strep throat.
  • 50% of VOCs and odors within 24 hours.

UV Germicidal Lights

A UV germicidal light is placed within your heating and cooling system. Its powerful rays eliminate bacteria and mold within seconds.

If your family has allergies or asthma, this unit can provide relief. Especially if you live in an extremely hot climate where bacteria and mold flourish.

This light also provides an extra advantage for your HVAC equipment. It can help it run longer and run more efficiently, since it keeps the internal pieces clean.

Our air quality engineers recommend installing one of these lights with an enhanced filter, such as our Carbon Clean 16® Media Air Cleaner, for the best effect. This filter delivers industry-leading MERV 16 filtration plus carbon-coated fibers to catch particles in your residence’s air. It completes this without restricting your heating and cooling equipment’s airflow.

Whole-Home Humidifiers

Getting correct humidity in your home might help keep your family healthy when it’s cold. It can help with sore throats, flaky skin and cracked lips, amidst further cold weather irritations.

If you aren’t sure of what your residence’s humidity level is, we’ll determine it while we perform your indoor air quality audit. While the range fluctuates based upon outdoor temperatures, HVAC professionals usually suggest keeping it between 40–60 percent.

You can reach this optimum range by installing a whole-home humidifier. This system generally works with your furnace or air handler to provide optimal humidity throughout your residence. Some models, like the Healthy Climate® Whole-Home Power Humidifier, use an included fan to spread humidity when your HVAC system isn’t on.
