How to Give Your Family Cleaner Air & Protect Your HVAC System

Your home is where your family comes back after the end of a long day. You should be able to rest easy knowing the air inside it’s clean! We’ve got a bunch of solutions to not only keep your air clean, but help with your allergies, get rid of smells, and protect your HVAC equipment.

Media Cabinets

You know the 1-inch-thick air filters you change out every 30-60 days? How would you like to only have to change them about once a year? A media cabinet might be just the thing your home needs! We can install one alongside your heating and cooling system. It provides a spot for a 4-inch-thick filter. Because it’s bigger and has much deeper pleats, it can catch a lot more particulate. It does a better job than a standard air filter.

Media cabinets are mainly there to protect your heating and cooling system from dust and debris that could cause damage. Their priority isn’t to clean your air, but that doesn’t mean they don’t keep some extra stuff from recirculating in your home!

Charcoal Filters

While we’re talking about filters, we’d be remiss if we didn’t mention charcoal filters! They’re great for eliminating odors in your home. Have you ever burnt dinner and been stuck with the smell for what feels like ages? Charcoal filters can help clear that smell up much faster.

Electronic Air Filters

Another option we have to help keep your heating and cooling system safe from dust and debris is an electronic air filter. These rely on an ionizer to attract and grab particles in your air. It can be super effect at removing things from your air, but it requires more maintenance than a media cabinet. Remember how we said media cabinets need the filters changed about once a year? They’re really low maintenance. Electronic air filters, on the other hand, need to be cleaned about once a quarter. If you don’t stay on top of keeping it clean, it won’t be as effective. But with the right care, these things are really good at their jobs!

UV Light Treatment

UV light treatment is a great way to keep your HVAC equipment clean! The same kind of treatment has been around for a long time in doctor and dentists’ offices to sanitize things. When you have us install a UV light for your system, it’ll kill viruses and growth on your evaporator coil. It’s not meant to clean your air, necessarily, but clean your heating and cooling system. Your equipment is the perfect environment for growth, and UV light treatment helps manage it!

Air Scrubber Plus® is an indoor air purification system that’s been proven to clean and disinfect the air in homes. It reduces up to 99.9% of surface micro-organisms and 90% of airborne micro-organisms. It can also help with your allergies and odors in your home!

What Makes Air Scrubber Plus® Different?

There are a lot of options out there that primarily focus on keeping your heating and cooling system clear of pollutants and particles in your air, rather than focusing on keeping your family’s air clean (though that can still be a bonus of many of those options!). Both types have their purposes! But if your main focus is on cleaning the air your family breathes, Air Scrubber Plus® is a great choice. Most air purifiers passively filter your air, but Air Scrubber Plus® is more complex than that. It relies on specialized germicidal UV light waves and a catalytic process. This process produces oxygen and hydrogen molecules that scrub your environment of dust, odors, germs, and more! Once we install your Air Scrubber Plus®, cleaning up your air and surfaces will be as easy as turning on a fan.

Air Scrubber Plus® Helps with Allergies

Itchy eyes, runny nose, sneezing… allergies are the worst! You don’t have to put up with them every year anymore. Your home should be somewhere you get a break from pesky allergies! When we install an Air Scrubber Plus®, it’ll get to work reducing pollen, dust, and other pollutants in your home’s air. Without all that floating around, you should start to experience relief from your allergy symptoms!

Eliminate Odors, Protect Your HVAC System, and Clean Your Surfaces with Air Scrubber Plus®

Not only can an Air Scrubber Plus® help with your allergies, but they do so much more! Because of the process we mentioned earlier, it helps eliminate smells from pets, cigarette smoke, paint fumes, burnt food, and more. This same process keeps particles from reaching your heating and cooling equipment, protecting it from growth, dust, and more. No one likes having to clean and disinfect the surfaces in their home all the time. Reduce germs on things like doorknobs, toilets, kitchen counters, and more with the help of Air Scrubber Plus®!
