Central, aka whole-house, air purification systems are a core component of a healthy Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) and becoming an increasingly popular component of the heating and cooling systems in many homes and businesses.
Typically a central/whole-house air purification system, also known as “in-duct” system are elements installed inside the air ducts, whether supply (to your conditioned space) or return (from the conditioned space to the AC unit).
Common purification systems include ultra-violet (UV) lights, ionizers, plasma generators, oxidizers, high efficiency filters, electrostatic filters, among other technologies.
Benefits
Allergies
Depending on the technology used, whole-house air purifiers can capture and inactivate allergens and remove up to 99.97 percent of particles from the treated air. Ionizers can also make small particles attract to each other and become easier to be retained by your filter.
Dust
Whole-house air purifiers reduce the amount of dust spread in your house or business. A combination of high MERV (Minimum Efficiency Rating Value) filter with other purification technologies can drastically reduce the size of the dust particles and extend the cleaning cycles in the conditioned space*.
* Given that conditioned space typically have fresh air intake either from the system itself or through doors, windows, circulation of people, etc. there will always be dust present in the conditioned space. A good air filtration system will help manage the amount of dust but cannot is not an absolute dust management solution.
Disease Control
Technologies used in whole-house purification systems can kill up to 99% of bacteria and viruses, thus decreasing the likelihood of disease spreading in the conditioned space.
Mold
Due to the changes in humidity and temperature it is not uncommon for mold to grow in your AC unit, especially in the coil section where the cooling cycle usually results in condensate water. UV lights are an effective way to attack mold and when located in the supply side of your AC system can prevent mold spores from developing, growing in your system, and worse, spreading into the conditioned space.
Size and Location
Whole-house air purifiers are conveniently installed within the HVAC air handler system, eliminating the unsightly portable units in different rooms throughout the house or conditioned spaces in businesses and offices.
Cost-Effectiveness
Whole-house air purifiers save you the expense of having multiple systems in multiple spaces. Some units incorporate multiple technologies which make it very cost effective to address several of the benefits with one product.
Low Maintenance
Whole-house air purifiers, depending on the technology, can last 1 to 5 years with little to no maintenance.
“Poor indoor air quality can cause a stuffy nose, sore throat,
coughing or wheezing, headache, burning eyes, or skin
rash. People with asthma or other breathing problems or
who have allergies may have severe reactions.” CDC
