Highlighting the Healthy Climate Carbon Clean 16 Media Air Cleaner

It is a common belief that air pollution only takes place outside the home. However, the inside of your home is actually more polluted. Even if you regularly clean your home and use a vacuum cleaner, there are still particles that remain, which are circulated by your HVAC system.

Four Seasons Air Specialists is your preferred HVAC company in Lino Lakes MN that offers complete air purification solutions for your home, including high-efficiency air cleaners.

Overview

Your air filter keeps the air in your home clean while keeping your air conditioner or furnace free from dust and debris. Clogged air can cause your HVAC systems to work harder to get air through your home. This added strain can cause serious problems and depending on the extent of the issue, it can shut down your system altogether.

As a filter gets clogged up with dust and debris, it gets harder and harder to circulate air. This results in below average cooling and your home’s temperatures becomes inconsistent and the level of comfort insufficient. In addition to comfort issues, filter problems can cause your home to have poor indoor air.

Since filters consistently collect household pollutants, they should be changed at least once per month, particularly during peak months. By changing your filter regularly, you keep large amounts of dirt and debris from accumulating in your furnace or air conditioner, as well as your lungs. Failure to properly manage your filter compromises your indoor air quality and can lead to respiratory diseases, allergies, and skyrocketing utility bills. Furthermore, it can shorten your equipment’s lifespan, too.

Why You Should Upgrade Your Filter

Poor indoor air quality is a potential health risk factor. Children, people aged 60 or more, and people with existing allergies or immune system problems are most vulnerable to its harmful effects. In such cases, regular filters just won’t be enough to protect your family.

When consistently exposed to indoor air pollutants, you may suffer from short-term or long-term consequences. Some of these effects may be experienced immediately after a single exposure or repeated exposures to one or more pollutants. These health problems may include headaches, dizziness, fatigue, irritation of the eyes, skin, and throat, and upper respiratory tract infection. Extended and consistent exposure to household contaminants may lead to life-threatening diseases like lung cancer.

Understanding Filters

Every HVAC system is equipped with an air filter. However, not all filtration systems have the same level of efficiency. Air filters are measured based on their minimum efficiency reporting value (MERV) scale from 1 to 16. Anything higher than 16 is considered a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter. The higher the MERV rating, the more contaminants a filter can catch. Some filters may even collect certain viruses, in addition to bacteria, mold spores, and cigarette smoke. These filters also minimize allergens and respiratory irritants.

Features of the Healthy Climate Carbon Clean 16 Media Air Cleaner

Media air cleaners provide you with efficient, premier indoor air quality. They purify your air and keep allergens away so that you can breathe fresh, clean air, which is circulated by your HVAC system.

In contrast to electrostatic air cleaners that can elevate indoor ozone levels, the Carbon Cleaner 16 provides thorough, unmatched filtration throughout your home while reducing ozone, a known lung irritant. Similar to plants and trees absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen back into the atmosphere, the Carbon Clean 16 air filter eliminates harmful ozone from indoor air and converts it into clean, healthy oxygen. As part of this natural and efficient purification process, carbon inside the filter that is traded with oxygen reacts with odors and airborne pollutants to neutralize them before they are circulated back into your indoor air.
