Because of the threat of the COVID virus, I was uneasy about the cleanliness as well as health of our home. I came to believe that I had to be more proactive. I started with the filters of the oil furnace as well as the cooling system. I assume that a lot of new contaminants are introduced into the breathing air by way of the heating as well as the cooling system. I thought I might minimize the indoor air pollution by purchasing higher quality air filters as well as replacing them more often. I found that the more overpriced air filters deliver a far higher MERV rating. This means that they feature much smaller holes as well as trap more dust, dander, as well as other particles. What I didn’t realize is that these tiny holes hastily become blocked with hair and debris. Once the filter is dirty, air can no longer pass through it. This creates a major problem for the oil furnace as well as cooling system, unless I wanted to change filters every other week, I needed to try a uncommon approach. I did some research as well as learned that the air filter in the system is designed to protect the oil furnace as well as the cooling system from contamination. The filter helps to keep the device washed as well as running far more efficiently. It doesn’t do much for air quality. As I learn further, I learned about the uncommon air quality products on the market. There are media air cleaners, air purification systems, and also germicidal UV lights, ventilators, humidifiers as well as dehumidifiers. The various air quality units incorporate into the central heating as well as cooling system to treat the air as it passes by. I chose an in-duct air purification system that uses positive as well as downside ions to disrupt the inner workings of pathogens as well as to cause particles to clump together as well as fall out of the air. The system runs silently, requires no maintenance as well as has been proven effective against certain strains of the coronavirus.
