Indoor air quality in Clark, NJ, is an increasing health concern. While the level of outdoor pollution has improved in the region over the decades, levels still aren’t ideal. In addition to outdoor pollution finding its way inside and accumulating, there are indoor sources of pollution that are also potentially harmful. The best way to protect your family is through whole-home air purification installed by our team at Sam's Air Control. A whole-house air purifier can lower the presence of particles, gases, chemicals, and pathogens.

Healthy indoor air quality at home often begins with good HVAC habits. Schedule seasonal tune-ups to ensure your HVAC equipment is as clean as possible. Use an HVAC filter with as high a minimum efficiency reporting value (MERV) as your system supports. Check that filter at least once a month and swap it out with a new one as needed.
While an HVAC system provides some air purification, it usually isn’t enough. One reason is that you can’t restrict airflow too much on the supply side of the system. This is why many whole-home air purifiers are in-duct systems. High pressure on the return side isn’t problematic. HVAC filters are meant to protect the equipment more than improve your air quality.
Traditional in-duct air purifiers clean the air by moving it through a sequence of filter stages. What filter media your system has determines what it can trap or neutralize and to what degree.
Many air purifiers have a high-MERV or high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter to trap particles. HEPA filters are notable in that they remove over 99% of particulate matter. That includes dust, pollen, pet dander, and textile fibers.
It’s common to pair these mechanical filters with an adsorptive filter media, such as activated charcoal. Activated charcoal removes odors from the air. It also adsorbs gases such as volatile organic compounds and chemicals such as ammonia and formaldehyde.
You may want to consider adding an in-duct ultraviolet (UV) light as well. These lamps emit a light that neutralizes over 99% of bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens.
Whole-home air purification can provide many potential health benefits.
