How Advanced Air Filtration Can Improve Your Southern California Home’s Air Quality

Air pollution isn’t limited to outdoor spaces. The air inside your home can cause health problems, too, and it can be even unhealthier because the air tends to recirculate rather than escape. HVAC systems will filter the air to a degree, but there’s a reason people are turning to advanced air filtration for better indoor air quality in Southern California homes.

What Is Advanced Filtration?

To eliminate microscopic contaminants as small as 0.3 microns — such as COVID-19 viruses — advanced filtration systems use high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters. These systems are also more efficient than standard HVAC filters at trapping hair, dander, spores, dust, and pollen. Fans pull indoor air through multiple stages of filters designed to catch increasingly tiny particles. 

The Benefits of Advanced Air Filtration

Customers trust advanced air filtration for better indoor air quality in Southern California homes for the following reasons:

Less Exposure to Pollutants

Allergy sufferers and immunocompromised individuals enjoy drastic reductions in pollen, bacteria, and viruses. Even otherwise healthy individuals can experience cold-like symptoms when enough contaminants build up, so the fewer particles present in the air, the better. 

Also, many filtration systems use UV-C light to destroy pathogens that would otherwise linger in the air.

Odor Reduction

Filtration removes the particles responsible for unpleasant smells. Mold spores can’t propagate and make the air smell musty, while pet odors also get sucked in and trapped.

Reduced Strain on Your HVAC System

One of the biggest sources of stress for an HVAC system is the buildup of foreign particles. These particles restrict airflow and can get into moving parts, causing increased friction and reduced efficiency. Dust and dirt that would collect in vents and ducts will instead collect in your system’s HEPA filters.
