Help Reduce Air Contaminants with an Air Filtration System in Rochester

EPA studies discovered that pollutant levels indoors are often up to five times greater than outside, making an effective air filtration system an invaluable tool when trying to reduce contamination levels. Taylor Heating Inc. offers top-of-the-line filtration products capable of attracting and capturing particulates such as:

• 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

Nearby industries and potential health concerns affect which pollutants you’d benefit most from filtering out of your indoor air. For instance, somebody with severe allergies would make getting rid of pollen or animal dander the priority. Our indoor air quality services in [siteinfo field=”msa”] are intended to help you identify what particulate matter you’re dealing with.

HEPA Filters

Many air filtration systems use what’s known as a High-Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filter. Bear in mind that many filters are manufactured similarly and advertised as “HEPA-type” filters despite failing to achieve the same level of efficiency. You should look for “True” or “Absolute” HEPA filters approved by air quality agencies.

With a highly dense network of extremely small fibers, HEPA filters trap airborne particles while they drift by. A few designs may use extra layers of filtration to keep 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 capture particles.

One trade-off with HEPA filters is that the dense fibers can restrict airflow, which could force your HVAC system to work harder to sustain your desired temperatures. We can offer tailored advice on whether you would benefit from HEPA-level filtration.
