What Is an Air Filtration System?

A whole–house air filtration system is an additional air filter—a tightly woven fiber mesh stretched across a frame and installed directly into your ductwork. As air flows through the filter, any contaminants carried with it become snared in the fibers. This is a commonly used method of clearing a home’s air as it doesn’t require any additional energy usage.

As we mentioned above, the air filter that comes standard with your heating and cooling systems isn’t enough to protect your indoor air—in fact, the intended purpose of this air filter is to protect the HVAC units themselves, not your indoor air. Regardless of what type of air filtration system you have, however, an air filter should be changed out every 1–3 months during periods of use.

What is Air Purification All About?

There are a variety of air filtration products on the market, available to residents throughout the Hampton Roads, VA area, to rid your home of many contaminants—but not all. You may want to consider an air purifier to protect your home and your health against some stubborn particles such as bacteria and viruses.

• Ionization Purifiers: An ionization purifier is an air purification system that’s often referred to as an electronic purifier. It emits clouds of magnetically charged particles during operation, which give an opposite magnetic charge to the contaminants within your air. When the contaminants enter the purifier, they’re attracted to a metal plate which can then be removed and cleaned.
• UV Air Purifiers:These systems are different in that they don’t impact particles that are already in the air. Instead, they bathe harmful microorganisms such as bacteria, mold, and mildew within your ductwork in a UV light that effectively kills the contaminants. The exposure given from the UV air purifier is harmless to people and pets, but deadly to bacteria.

Humidifier Service & Install:

About Humidifiers:

Humidifier therapy adds moisture to the air to prevent dryness that can cause irritation in many parts of the body. Humidifiers can be particularly effective for treating dryness of the skin, nose, throat, and lips. They can also ease some of the symptoms caused by the flu or common cold.

Benefits of a Humidifier:

Adequate humidity can help prevent or alleviate dry skin, eyes and nasal passages. And since you feel warmer in warm humid air than in dry, you can keep your thermostat lower, which also helps prevent dry skin. A humidifier can ease symptoms of a cold, sore throat or cough.
