Residential Indoor Air Quality
Furnace filters and other duct-mounted air cleaning devices are typically installed in the return ducts of HVAC systems. They are installed either at the base of the air-handling unit or upstream in return grilles. The typical low-efficiency furnace air filter is a simple air cleaner that captures particles in the airstream to protect fan motors, heat exchangers, and ducts from soiling. Such filters are not designed to improve indoor air quality. Your HVAC system can be upgraded by using more efficient air filters to remove additional particles.
MERV filters, which are higher in quality like HEPA filters are more efficient at filtering dust, irritants, and other particulates out of your indoor air. The greater the MERV ranking, the stricter the filter, however understand that not all systems have an effective adequate blower to support denser filters.
Enjoy cleaner and fresher air with an air filtration system installed by House Depot. Our HVAC experts will determine the ideal filter to remove particles from your air without placing so much resistance on the airflow that your HVAC system will suffer. We offer flexible air filtration solutions for just about any brand HVAC system.
At House Depot we offer several air infiltration products designed to improve your home’s indoor air quality. Some of our most popular air filtration services include:
Most heating and cooling systems use a very basic air filter. These filters were designed not to improve indoor air quality for you, but to protect the HVAC equipment from the harmful accumulation of indoor air pollutants. Only 3 – 5 percent of particles can be removed with a basic air filter. We offer a variety of advanced high-efficiency air filters that can both protect you and your HVAC system. These high-efficiency air filters can help remove pollutants in your home’s air that cause allergies, hay fever, asthma, or other breathing ailments.
Electronic air cleaners are integrated into your home’s HVAC system. They are designed to remove airborne particles including smoke, dust, pet danger, pollen, mites, and more. Electronic air cleaners can remove up to 99 percent of indoor air pollution, leaving your home’s air clean and safe. Air is brought through an ionization chamber, where the pollutants in that air are given an electric charge. Those pollutants are then trapped on collector plates, which are oppositely charged and can be easily removed for cleaning as needed.
UV light air purification systems differ from both air filters and electronic air purifiers in that they are not actually used to remove pollutants like dust and dirt from the air. Instead, these air purifiers are used to kill biological pollutants such as viruses, bacteria, and mold spores. They do this by using ultraviolet light, which is confined to the ductwork and is completely safe for residents/pets. Combined with electronic air cleaners, UV air purification systems will leave your home with exceptionally clean and healthy air!
