Tips and Tricks to Improve Your Indoor Air Quality

With spring just around the corner, that means that allergies are trailing close next after them. What do you do when you avoid the outdoor pollen but find yourself grappling with inside allergens at the same time? Well, Faust Air Conditioning and Heating has some tips that can keep you cozy this spring season by enhancing your indoor air quality:

High efficiency air filters

To gain a bigger surface area and smaller resistance to air flow in your air conditioning filter, there are some kinds of filters that are four to five inches wide which are gathered and folded like an accordion. These filters allocate higher efficiency and upper MERV ratings, which make them able to remove the tiniest particles of dirt while even neutralizing odors.

Humidifiers and dehumidifiers

Having a lot of humidity and having too little humidity in your home can both be tricky. To avoid mold collection or respiratory issues, Faust Air Conditioning and Heating offers whole-home humidity products that are the best key to any indoor air quality issues.

One-inch air filters

Little filters should be replaced every few months, based on pets, the outside environment in Wharton or the number of people residing in your home. When your filter is grimy and isn’t replaced often, it works tougher than it needs to and can cause poor air quality.

Germicidal Lights

Mold and bacteria grow quite rapidly in modern, energy efficient homes. When these allergens combine with our breathing air, they can generate health and allergy difficulties for many members of your family. Ultraviolet lights extinguish the DNA in mold, fungi, bacteria and spores in the coils of your system, keeping them from coming into the air in your home.

Electrostatic air filters

These filters generate a strong static charge as air goes through them, collecting tiny particles that would otherwise be permitted through with expendable filters. Electrostatic filters are washable, but while they don’t need replacement, they demand cleaning just as frequently.

Whole home solution

The PureAir Air Purification System is a whole-home cooling solution that uses photocatalytic oxidation and a high efficiency carbon filter to combat germs and microorganisms, airborne particles and chemical odors, amidst other indoor pollutants.
