HVAC Systems and Indoor Air Quality (IAQ)
The damp, dark confines of the HVAC ductwork, and components such as the evaporator coil and drain pan, can be a perfect breeding ground for microbial growth, especially when they are dirty. Standard throwaway furnace filters and even many “upgraded” filters
provide very little protection against microbial contaminants or ultra-fine
particles.
Each time the HVAC fan cycles air into the home, armies of potentially
harmful spores, along with other allergens and pollutants, can be propelled
through the supply ducts and spewed throughout your home into the air your
family breathes.
Some duct systems are insulated with fiberglass or fiberboard on the inside
surfaces for sound insulation. These materials can trap dirt, particulates
and bioaerosols. They can also absorb moisture from the air stream, making
these surfaces a perfect breeding ground for additional microbial growth.
A Whole House HEPA System with optional Germicidal UV is a great defense!
HEPA filtration systems address all indoor air pollution issues and effectively eradicate virtually all airborne threats. HEPA (high efficiency particulate air), was designed to purify the air in hospital operating rooms as well as highly volatile medical and pharmaceutical laboratories.
| Air Care will custom design your individual air purification system to include all the functions that YOU need to meet your desired level of air purification. |
