Indoor Air Quality

With Canadians spending an average of 90% of their time inside, it is vital to your family’s health that you maintain quality indoor air. Dust, animal dander, mould and chemical vapours are just a few of the unseen pollutants compromising the quality of your indoor air. Individuals especially susceptible to health problems include those with allergies or asthma, children, people with suppressed immune systems and those with lung diseases.

Most heating and cooling systems include a basic air filter that is typically capable of removing only 3-5% of the particles that pass through it. Mechanical air cleaners and HEPA filtration systems, among other options, can help eliminate up to 99.9% of contaminants in your indoor air.

Mechanical air cleaners remove dust and other irritating particles from your home by using the blower fan in your furnace to draw them through a tightly sealed air cleaner. The clean air is then circulated through your furnace and back to the rooms in your home. High-efficiency, silent operation and minimal maintenance are a few reasons mechanical air cleaners are a popular option.

HEPA filters provide three stage filtration:
Pre-filter - Removes large particulates and odours.
HEPA filter - 99.97% efficient at 0.3 microns. Removes dust, pollen, bacteria, animal dander, attached viruses, cigarette smoke, radon daughters and more.
V.O.C. filter - Removes hazardous chemicals from cleaners, paints, solvents, carpets, furniture and other items containing synthetic materials.
