The roads are chock-a-bloc with cars; factories keep on emitting smoke and bacteria and viruses haven’t gone on a holiday. These are all the more reasons why we should be extra alert and assure clean air inside our houses. Thanks to the repeatedly improving purifier market, we have a gallon of options to choose from when it comes to whole house air cleaning. Here are 4 of the finest at our service.
Assess your requirements
Firstly, we have to assess our actual need. Air purification is a serious matter if your family is genetically weakly immune. You need to push the button if there are kids and pets in the household. You need to be pro-active if your neighbourhood is busy; you live near a heavily operating factory or there is too much stench around. Even if you don’t tick these boxes, you should endeavour to make the surrounding air fresh and pure air.
1. Ultraviolet filters
Ultraviolet Germicidal Irradiation (UVGI) is perhaps the best of the whole house air cleaning systems. It splays direct light on pumps and air conditioner and probes through the air circulated through HVAC. UVGI is extremely effective against (volatile organic compound) VOC and kills bacteria and virus with startling effect. It however comes a cropper against non-living organisms (smoke, dust, dander).
2. Corona discharge
Corona Discharge is an example of ionizing brilliance. It charges the atoms (even particles can be split into atoms), which gets attracted to the oppositely charged plate when the air passes through the plates of the system. You can whisk off the collection from the filter at ease. Yes, you will have to keep cleaning up the aluminium plates regularly.
3. Flat filters
This is almost a raw creation, largely effective against potent dust particles but a non-existent option against microscopic organisms. Its fibreglass fittings absorb these particles from the passing air, helping purify the indoor air. This can be an agreeable device if you live in a relatively non-polluted area. Flat filters come in different degree of efficiency measured in MERV (Minimum Efficiency Rating Value).
4. HEPA filters
High-Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) is the oldest and most popular of the whole house air cleaning systems. At its peak, it can clean your indoor air to 80% perfection. It uses a fan technology, animating particles and living organisms and sucking them all into its reservoir. Nowadays, portable HEPA filters are doing the rounds and obliging homes that don’t have the facility of air conditioners.
Purified air means healthy air and is a direct precursor to a healthy indoor environment. Smoke particles and dust can be life-threatening, as they damage and block respiratory tracts. Bacteria and virus meanwhile need no introduction as carriers of diseases. Get your choice of air filtration system installed and breathe free (air). You can always approach us to get whole house cleaning services to satisfaction.
