Help Reduce Air Pollution with an Air Filtration System in Linthicum Heights

EPA studies determined that pollutant levels indoors can be up to five times higher than outside, making an effective air filtration system an important tool when trying to decrease contamination levels. Arundel Cooling offers top-of-the-line filtration technology ideal for attracting and capturing particulates including:

• Dust, hair and soot
• Pet dander
• Allergens such as pollen
• Mold and mildew spores
• Viruses and bacteria
• Smoke and odor particles
• Volatile Organic Compounds such as chemical cleaners

Regional industries and potential health problems affect which pollutants you’d benefit most from filtering out of your indoor air. For example, someone with severe allergies could make getting rid of pollen or animal dander the primary goal. Our indoor air quality services in [siteinfo field=”msa”] are structured to help you identify what particulate matter you’re coping with.

HEPA Filters

Many air filtration systems use what’s known as a High-Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filter. Keep in mind that multiple filters are structured similarly and sold as “HEPA-type” filters despite not offering the same level of efficiency. You should choose “True” or “Absolute” HEPA filters certified by air quality institutions.

With a layered network of extremely small fibers, HEPA filters trap airborne particles as they float by. A few designs might incorporate additional layers of filtration to stop the central fiber layer from becoming clogged with larger substances like hair and lint. One type, also known as an activated carbon filter, uses highly absorbent carbon pores to trap particles.

One trade-off with HEPA filters is that the compact fibers can block airflow, which may force your HVAC system to run longer to reach your set temperatures. We will share tailored advice on whether you would benefit from HEPA-level filtration.
