Air Filters
Indoor Air Quality Solutions
Installation, maintenance and replacement of industry-leading air filtration systems.
Air pollution is listed as one of the biggest dangers facing environmental health today. Indoor air can be equally as polluted as outdoor air, sometimes even more polluted. Pollutants such as fine particulate matter, asbestos, mould and other chemicals that can become airborne are all causes for concern when it comes to the health and safety of your family. While outdoor air quality is out of our control, indoor quality isn’t.
We are well-acquainted with the various air filters available on the market today and can offer you the honest and educated advice you need in order to make an informed decision.
Why is air filtration so important?
Indoor air is polluted with contaminants ranging from tobacco smoke, pet dander and household dust all the way to mould, pollen and outdoor pollutants that enter the home. Bacteria and viruses are also prone to circulating indoor air that is recycled and not filtered properly. This endangers your family and especially those that suffer from asthma, allergies and lung-related conditions where air quality is of the utmost importance.
The Benefits of Indoor Air Filtration
Having a high quality air filtration system installed inside your home or business has benefits that far outweigh the initial investment cost.
Air filtration systems help to:
– Stop the spread of airborne diseases caused by viruses and bacteria
– Relieve the symptoms of asthma, allergy or lung-condition sufferers
– Eliminate hazardous or toxic chemicals from indoor air
– Neutralize unwanted odors
– Improve sleep and breathing ability
– Eliminate hazardous particles from asbestos, lead or other harmful substances
Types of Air Filters
While there are some at-home air purifiers that use activated carbon or UV light to purify the air, there are 3 main types of professional air filtration systems suited for more superior results.
Fibreglass Filters
Fibreglass filters are disposable and the most affordable type of filter. They can, however, fall short when it comes to filtering out super fine particulate matter like pet dander, bacteria and pollen.
Pleated or Polyester Filters
Pleated filters offer advanced protection for the filtration of indoor air pollutants and offer superior filtration of dust and fine particulate matter. Pleated filters capture particles ranging from 3 to 5 microns in size.
HEPA Filters
HEPA (high-efficiency particulate arrestance) filters offer the most advanced air filtration capabilities available on today’s market, capturing pathogens, pollutants, bacteria and viruses of all kinds. HEPA filters capture particles that are 0.3 microns in size or larger.
