How an Air Cleaner Can Change Every Breath You Take

Families with people who suffer from allergies know the importance of clean air. Even something as small as an uncleaned filter in your HVAC system can create breathing difficulties and make life unpleasant in short order. Using a high efficiency air cleaner helps you cut down on the number of allergens and other causes of asthma attacks. Here is what to look for when you want family members to breathe free and easy every day of the year.

The Hidden Causes of Breathing Trouble 

It’s impossible to keep a home entirely clean of dust, pollen and other pollutants, but homeowners have more advanced equipment than ever. The key is in high-efficiency particle absorption (HEPA) air filters.

The U.S. Department of Energy gives the HEPA designation to an air filter that removes 99.97 percent of particles with a size of 0.3 microns or more. While that figure may sound impressive, in reality there are countless irritants and pollutants of sizes smaller than 0.3 microns. To combat these scourges of clean air, HVAC equipment-maker Trane created an air cleaner that handles air particles as small as 0.1 microns. In comparison to the top HEPA filters, the innovative Trane system has no equal.

A Higher Air Quality 

Trane’s groundbreaking CleanEffects air system catches 99.98 percent of particles down to 0.1 microns, delivering a performance 100 times better than that of conventional 1-inch air filters. CleanEffects actually operates on standards that are eight times better than even the top HEPA air filters.

What’s exceptional about the Trane air cleaner is that it goes beyond blocking air flow while trapping pollutants — a process known as pressure drop. Trane’s CleanEffects keeps the fresh air moving through the rooms of your home. The system works as effectively on heating units in the winter as it does on air conditioners in the summer. It’s the system our clients throughout the metro Atlanta area have come to consider as the industry standard in air purification. Among HVAC dealers, CleanEffects is considered peerless.

Air Cleaner Installation and Service 

Since the Trane CleanEffects system is a stand-alone device, it does not require professional installation. However, most Atlanta homeowners take the opportunity to review the efficiency of all HVAC equipment in the house when upgrading an air cleaner. Reliable Heating & Air technicians provide full energy audits to tell you how your HVAC system is working. You may not be aware of it, but long periods between professional duct cleaning can lead to dangerously poor air quality.

When someone in your family suffers from asthma or bad allergies, there is no reason to turn to medications and other solutions instead of addressing the poor air quality. Setting up Trane’s CleanEffects system following a full cleaning of your home’s ductwork may establish a level of air purity you never thought imaginable. Maintenance on a CleanEffects system is necessary only once every six to nine months of operation.

Reliable’s team of pro technicians excels at the installation of Trane heating and cooling systems as well as air-purification products. Find out how your family can breathe in the purest air with HVAC work done right by Reliable Heating & Air.
