Objective: To effectively reduce and/or eliminate both particulate and/or molecular contaminants from your home or office. Our approach is customized by type of home, allergens involved, patient affliction and available budget.
Stage 1: Whole House Filtration
Homes with warm air heat or A/C units should add the 1" disposable HEPA-Type Filter, our better Permanent Washable Filter or the 3M Filtrete 1" disposable, cut to fit Hammock or AC/Vent cover filters. These filters are the most advanced and cost effective filters available. Keeping your unit’s fan in the "ON" position, will move all of the air in your home through this filter once every hour. This will accomplish three things:
1) a dramatic reduction of particulate matter;
2) a lower humidity level (the coil is an excellent dehumidifier), and;
3) a gradual purging of the loose debris in the system’s duct work.
Stage 2: The Bedroom
For many people, the evening and early morning hours are the worst symptomatic times of the day. In order to recharge your immunity system, the bedroom should have the purist air in the home. By using the proper HEPA or electrostatic filter in the bedroom to eliminate allergens, most realize some relief within a few days. Different symptoms call for different types of air filtration. Call us to discuss your situation in order to make the proper choice.
Stage 3: General Living Space
The average living area of the home has a high level of molecular (gas, odor & chemical) contaminants introduced from cooking greases, cleansers, attached garages, etc. as compared to the bedroom. Therefore, we recommend a more balanced molecular & particulate system for the main living area (Honeywell CPZ Units or Austin Healthmate Units). Call us to discuss your floor plan & life-style for the best selection, placement and results.
