Indoor Air Cleaners
Breathe Easy with Arctic Air’s Indoor Air Cleaners
How is the air quality inside your home? If you find yourself dealing with frequent allergies, asthma flare-ups, or respiratory discomfort, your indoor air quality might be the culprit. Arctic Air Conditioning offers reliable indoor air cleaner solutions for homes in Central New Jersey and Old Bridge, NJ, designed to remove pollutants and help you enjoy fresher, healthier air.
What is an Air Cleaner
Air cleaners are devices that work with your central HVAC system to remove contaminants from the air, including dust, pollen, pet dander, and other airborne particles. Unlike standalone air purifiers, which typically handle a single room, whole-house air cleaners are installed directly into your HVAC system. They use advanced filtration technology to clean the air throughout your entire home, ensuring you and your family can breathe easier all year round.
What’s the Difference Between Air Cleaners & Air Purifiers?
Understanding the difference between air cleaners and air purifiers can help you make the right choice for your home:
- Air Cleaners: Utilize filters to capture and remove larger particles like dust, pollen, and pet hair.
- Air Purifiers: Often use additional technologies, such as UV light, to kill bacteria, mold spores, and viruses, targeting microscopic pollutants.
- Whole-House vs. Room Units: Air cleaners are typically whole-house systems installed in your HVAC, while purifiers can be portable units used for specific rooms.
What Do Air Cleaners Filter?
Air cleaners are designed to filter out a variety of contaminants, including:
- Dust and Dirt: Keeps your home’s air clear of large particles that can settle on surfaces.
- Pollen: Reduces allergens that can trigger seasonal allergies.
- Pet Dander: Helps alleviate symptoms for those with pet allergies.
- Mold Spores: Minimizes the risk of mold-related health issues.
- Smoke and Odors: Reduces lingering smells from cooking, pets, and tobacco smoke.
By addressing these common indoor air pollutants, an indoor air cleaner helps create a healthier living environment for you and your family.
Air Cleaner Installation
For the highest efficiency in-line cartridge media filter available today, choose the Healthy Climate® Carbon Clean 16 Media Air Cleaner. This product cleans the air throughout your entire home by working with your central HVAC system. It would take six top-rated portable room air cleaners to equal the performance of this whole-house air cleaner!
As with the PureAir® Air Purification System, the Healthy Climate® Carbon Clean 16 Media Air Cleaner uses a MERV 16 PrecisionPleat™ media filter to remove a vast majority of particles and bioaerosols from the air. It produces no ozone emissions, requires no cleaning, and lasts a year before requiring a cartridge replacement.
