Help Minimize Air Contamination with an Air Filtration System in Phoenix

EPA studies determined that pollutant quantities indoors can be up to five times higher than outside, making an effective air filtration system an invaluable tool when working to reduce contamination levels. Canyon State Air Conditioning, Heating & Plumbing offers top-of-the-line filtration technology capable of attracting and trapping 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

Local industries and potential health concerns affect which pollutants you’d benefit most from filtering out of your indoor air. For instance, a person with serious allergies should make getting rid of pollen or animal dander the priority. Our indoor air quality services in [siteinfo field=”msa”] are tailored to help you figure out what particulate matter you’re coping with.

HEPA Filters

Many air filtration systems incorporate what’s known as a High-Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filter. Bear in mind that numerous filters are structured similarly and marketed as “HEPA-type” filters despite not offering the same level of effectiveness. You should try to find “True” or “Absolute” HEPA filters approved by air quality institutions.

With a thick network of extremely small fibers, HEPA filters catch airborne particles as they drift past. Some designs might incorporate extra layers of filtration to keep the central fiber layer from clogging up with larger particles such as hair and lint. One type, known as an activated carbon filter, features highly absorbent carbon pores to grab particles.

A small trade-off with HEPA filters is that the dense fibers can reduce airflow, which may force your HVAC system to run harder to reach your desired temperatures. We can provide tailored advice on whether you’ll benefit from HEPA-level filtration.
