Indoor air quality is an important consideration for a lot of homeowners. Whether you work from home or want to keep pollen out during allergy season, there’s a good reason to invest in air purification. That said, not all HVAC systems are made for this purpose.
While the name fits, air filters aren’t designed to purify the air coming through the vents. They’re good for maintaining clean airflow, but not in the way you may think. So what role do they actually play? More importantly, what’s the best HVAC system for cleaner indoor air?
You might think that a UV air purifier is “just another air cleaner.” However, it’s quite different from a standard ionization or electronic air cleaner—more on that below.
“What?” you may be wondering, “you’re an HVAC company, why are you talking to me about tree pollen?”
Are you one of the many homeowners who believe that the standard air filter, supplied with your HVAC systems upon installation, is enough to protect your indoor air quality? Unfortunately, this is a pretty common misconception.
