Help Lower Air Pollution with an Air Filtration System
Modern homes and commercial properties are constructed with firm seals between indoor and outdoor air. While this is great for reducing HVAC losses, there are unintended repercussions. Lacking access to fresh outdoor air, your indoor air can become stuffed with microscopic contaminants on top of common debris including dust and hair. Higher concentrations of airborne particles may intensify respiratory problems and also make you sick! For genuinely clean, healthy indoor air, these pollutants should be removed as much as possible.
Do You Need Dedicated Air Filtration?
EPA studies have found that pollutant rates indoors tend to be up to five times greater than outside, making an effective air filtration system an important tool when attempting to lower contamination levels. HomeSmart offers top-of-the-line filtration technology ideal for attracting and capturing particulates including:
- Dust, hair and soot
- Pet dander
- Allergens like pollen
- Mold and mildew spores
- Viruses and bacteria
- Smoke and odor particles
- Volatile Organic Compounds such as synthetic cleaners
Local industries and potential health concerns affect which pollutants you’d benefit most from filtering out of your indoor air. For example, someone with severe allergies should make reducing pollen or animal dander the primary goal. Our indoor air quality services in [siteinfo field=”msa”] are intended to help you identify what particulate matter you’re taking on.
HEPA Filters
Many air filtration systems incorporate what’s known as a High-Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filter. Remember that multiple filters are manufactured similarly and advertised as “HEPA-type” filters even though they don’t offer the same level of efficiency. You should seek out “True” or “Absolute” HEPA filters certified by air quality agencies.
With a thick network of extremely small fibers, HEPA filters trap airborne particles when they float by. Some designs might incorporate additional layers of filtration to prevent the central fiber layer from becoming clogged with larger particles like hair and lint. One type, also known as an activated carbon filter, features highly absorbent carbon pores to trap particles.
One trade-off with HEPA filters is that the compact fibers can restrict airflow, which can force your HVAC system to run longer to maintain your desired temperatures. We can offer tailored advice on whether you’ll benefit from HEPA-level filtration.

Extended HVAC System Life Span
Airborne contaminants clog the air filters within HVAC systems, slowly forcing equipment to work longer and decreasing its efficiency. An air filtration system can even prolong the life of an HVAC system by decreasing the frequency of air filter replacements or maintenance needs like cleaning.
