According to the EPA, nearly 90 percent of Americans' time is spent indoors. Do you know how clean the air is in your home or office? There may be air contaminants present that make it difficult for your family or your employees to breathe, particularly those who suffer from allergies or asthma. In some cases, you may simply need to clean or replace the electrostatic filter inside your ductwork. Here is how these advanced systems work and when you need to be concerned about your HVAC system.
The Science of Electrostatic Air Filters
An electrostatic air filter operates inside an HVAC system's ductwork, efficiently removing over 95 percent of particles floating in the air. These filters use a safe electrostatic charge that traps some of the tiniest air particles and pollutants. In effect, the principle works in the same way as a magnet, with the charges trapping dust to the filters, which makes the air cleaner for everyone to breathe.
Cleaner indoor air is only possible when you have regular duct cleaning in your home or office, but there is more to it than just maintenance. The quality of your HVAC system's filters may not trap enough particles to keep everyone breathing easy. About 20 percent of Americans have trouble with allergies, which creates a challenge for every homeowner and business manager. Your choice of filter—and the maintenance of your systems —can make a huge difference.
Duct and Electrostatic Filter Maintenance
When you have an electrostatic air filter working inside your HVAC system, fewer dust particles collect inside your home or offices. Naturally, this efficiency makes it easier for cleaning crews to keep different surfaces clean. At the same time, filters that collect more dust make sure your air conditioning system coils do not become coated in dirt and dust. HVAC systems with dirty coils have to work harder than clean systems do, which can shorten the equipment's life span.
Filter cleaning every three to four weeks should keep your system clean, but consider upgrading to an electrostatic filter if your system is not producing clean air. ZEROREZ® advanced air cleaning involves a system that is unlike any other. After a full cleaning of a home or office's ductwork, Zr Clean™ is misted throughout the interior. This cleansing system does not utilize chemicals or shampoos but rather purifies your home and office the natural way.
Whether you need advanced air purification or duct cleaning (or both), the ZEROREZ® system will create the highest level of air quality indoors. This air cleaning technology has no equal.
