Spring and summer are the seasons when most people realize their air quality is suffering.

These systems remove all sorts of particles from your home’s air, to give you a fresher, cleaner home.

How air filtration systems work

Air filtration systems work just like other kinds of filters, just with much smaller holes. You can think of air filters as strainers. Just as a strainer holds back pasta from water, air filters hold back very small debris from the air. In fact, the best air filter systems are small enough to filter out viruses, which are exceptionally small.

These filters are so sensitive that they require two filtration layers. The first captures larger particles such as hair, so that the more sensitive filter has a chance to work instead of being immediately clogged by the larger things in your air. As a result, they end up removing over 99 % of the debris in your air.

Great filters can remove some things from the air that cause unpleasant odours.

Why should I change
my air filter?

Your air filtration system has two filters. One or both may need to be replaced or cleaned on a regular basis, depending on which model you have. As the air pollutants get trapped in the filter, they eventually fill it up, making the filter much less effective. Air will pass through slowly, so it will clean less air. Change air filters to keep your home as clean as possible.
