Your house is teeming with invisible specks of dust, pollen, pet dander, and other allergens which float around in the air. The most effective way to improve air quality within your home is to install a whole-home air filtration system.
Air filtration systems actively remove airborne contaminants from your air, making it easier to breathe for those who suffer from allergies or asthma.
While your home should already have a basic furnace or AC air filter to combat poor air quality, an air filtration system can supplement this effort while also protecting your HVAC equipment.
By upgrading to a whole-home air filtration system, you can effectively remove airborne contaminants and live a healthier life.
Our professional technicians are available to test your indoor air quality and find the right solution for you. Let the experts at Anthony guide you in choosing the perfect whole-home air filtration system for your Kansas City home.
Indoor Air Quality Testing and Filter Recommendations
Our expert indoor air quality professionals have the tools and equipment to test and evaluate your home and determine the best air filtration system.
Air filters are rated on a MERV scale, indicating how efficiently they remove airborne particles. The most efficient filters can remove particulate matter as small as 0.3 microns without issue.
You can’t just buy the highest MERV filter and expect perfect results. The more effective the filter, the harder it is for air to pass through it.
These thick filters can be difficult for air handlers to push air through, which causes extra strain on your air handler’s motor, furnace, and AC. This extra strain can shorten their service life and cost you money in the long run.
That’s why professional IAQ experts need to test your air, evaluate the air pollutants, examine your HVAC equipment, and determine the best air filter for your family.
Whole-Home Air Cleaners
Air filters are purely mechanical in filtering air. They push air through a filter and attempt to catch particles. Air cleaners, on the other hand, go an extra step. They electrically charge the air and draw particles in with ionization. The charged particles are then attracted and stick to the filter.
Electronic air cleaners are more effective at removing airborne particles than highly rated MERV air filters. They can also remove smoke particles and even bacteria. Electronic air cleaners are a great addition to a good air filter.
The next step up from air filters and cleaners is an air purification system. An air purification system can remove inert matter like dust, dander, pollen, and other contaminants, as well as live microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, dust mites, and mold spores. It uses special UV wavelengths to inactivate these living airborne microbes and cleanse the air.
