Santa Monica Home Air Filtration Systems
With an increasing emphasis being placed on living healthier, Santa Monica home air filtration systems continue to play an important role in eliminating airborne pollutants that become trapped and circulated endless times in our well insulated homes. Whether the source of these pollutants is from indoor carpet, furniture, cleaning supplies or from pollen, mold and mildew spores or dust that enters from outside, your continued good health depends on their removal. Here are 5 best features to consider when selecting a filtration system for your Santa Monica home. Give your Santa Monica HVAC contractor a call and see what they can do for you.
1. HEPA technology is best for removing airborne particulates. This is the same technology that hospitals use to insure clean air, particularly in operating rooms, because these high efficiency particle arresting filters can remove airborne particulates as small as .3 microns. This includes common airborne household pollutants such as dust, dust mites, mold and mildew spores, pollen, pet dander, bacteria and viruses.
2. Make sure you can take it with you. With the average family moving every 5 to 7 years, investing in a portable system that can move with you is the most cost effective way to insure clean air wherever you go. Whole house filtration systems generally have a lot of bells and whistles, they can be expensive to maintain, prospective buyers may not see them as an asset, and you’d need to buy another filtration system for your new home. Cut your moving expenses by selecting a system where clean air is always as close as the nearest outlet
3. While high efficiency particle arresting (or HEPA) filters are great at removing fine particles, they are not particularly effective with gaseous pollutants. So in addition to the HEPA filter, your filtration system should also contain an inner filter that can remove pollutants such as smoke, odor, and chemicals. Selecting a system that has multiple filters means one purifier can multi-task making it much more cost effective than buying a purifier for particles and another one for gases and odors.
4. Variable speed control allows maximum control over the rate at which your air is filtered. Under normal circumstances you may find that the low or medium speed keeps your air fresh and healthy. But life happens, and should your need your air filtered faster to remove increased levels of pollutants, three fan speed options allows you to keep your air quality high regardless of what’s going on in your home.
5. A system that can take care of itself without making a lot of demands on your time is best for obvious reasons. A low maintenance system and filter is a huge advantage and cannot be underestimated. Make sure that filters are readily available and are not overly expensive to replace. A filter life of 5 years and one that has a simple replacement procedure means the only change in lifestyle is cleaner, healthier air for you and your family to breathe.
