Home Air Purifier / Filtration Systems, Indoor Air Quality, IAQ, Air Cleaning Solutions, Electrostatic / HEPA Air Filters, UV Air Purifiers, Reduce Air Pollutants

The J.R. Wortman Company, Central Indiana's source for HVAC (Heating Ventilation Air Conditioning) systems for more than 50 years, understands the growing importance of having air filter and/or purifier systems in today's home. So serious and prevalent is this issue that environmentalists have coined a new term for it: "IAQ" or Indoor Air Quality. Today’s homeowners need to become more aware of the importance of IAQ and what they can do about it.

The HVAC professionals at Wortman can provide air cleaning solutions for your home, either as part of a complete central heating / air conditioning system, or as independent units.

So You Think Your Home's Air is Clean?

EPA studies show that even in the smoggiest cities, the air inside most modern homes is, on average, at least ten times more polluted than the air outside.

There are many reasons for this phenomenon, some of which were only discovered recently. Air pollutants include health threats like radon and CO2, as well as chemicals like formaldehyde used in making modern carpeting, drapery, household cleaners, furniture and building materials.

There are also common airborne pollutants, such as:

• Pollen
• Viruses
• Dust and dust mites
• Damp areas where standing water can breed mold, mildew and other microbes

A large part of the problem is that modern homes are constructed to be as air-tight as possible. This reduces heat or cooling loss and improves energy efficiency. Unfortunately, a side-effect of this is that stale air, odors, chemicals, irritants, even microscopic insects becomes trapped inside the home with no way to escape.

This can lead to health problems, such as:

Air Purification / Filtration Solutions for Your Home

Wortman can offer a variety of air filtration and air purifying solutions to best fit your needs. Depending on the level of air quality you want for your house, they range from simple and inexpensive, to state-of-the-art microbe and pathogen-killing systems that can create "near-cleanroom" conditions.

One of the simplest steps to take in improving your home's air quality is to replace furnace, heating duct and air conditioner filters on a regular basis. When purchasing home air purifier filters you should first consider cost, productivity, ease of installation, and upkeep.

Air Filters: The Old & The New

While the throwaway paper or fiberglass filter is the least expensive option, it only filters out large debris, and needs to be changed every month.

Relatively new, permanent electrostatic filters can remove over 95% of all air-borne particles and contaminants from the air. Other features of electrostatic filters include:

• They can replace almost any traditional paper or fiberglass filters

• Easy to install and clean

• With proper care, they should last a lifetime

Not only do electrostatic air filters help with the air quality in your home, they can also effectively cut dusting by as much as 50% and cut your energy bill by almost 15%. In addition, your carpets, draperies, walls, windows and upholstery will stay cleaner longer.

Air Purification Gets Technical

If health issues in your household makes having the cleanest air possible a priority, newer air purifiers and filter systems have the ability to "scrub" the air clean of virtually all allergens, particles and odors. Asthma and other respiratory illness sufferers may require this level of air cleaning, unavailable to most homeowners until recently.

High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) Filter systems can remove 99.97% of dust, pollen, mold, bacteria and any airborne particles from the environment. They are very efficient and work in a number of configurations, from small, freestanding room cleaners, to units attached directly to a central HVAC system. One downside to HEPA filters is that they need to be replaced periodically, and be very costly over the lifespan of the system.

Ultraviolet (UV) Air Purifiers, the newest air purifying technology available, will destroy biological & chemical contaminants, such as:

Some UV air purifiers are even rated to effectively remove anthrax and other air-borne pathogens from your home's environment.
