Spring Clean the Air Within Your Melbourne Home
When those first few beautiful days of spring come, the initial instinct is to open those windows and doors, letting that fresh air into your Melbourne area home. Oftentimes spring cleaning is not far behind, from pulling down the drapes to Windexing the windows as the spring sun shines in. However, scrubbing the surfaces of your home does not clean a critical aspect of your home: the air.
Cleansing the air around you in your home will take more than a dust mitt and vacuum. While you will see a lot of dust on your home’s surfaces, considerably more is still floating in the air, recirculating through the house and HVAC system. The proven way to get your home really clean this spring is to purchase an air filtration system.
Choosing the Right Air Filtration System for Your Melbourne Area Home
When considering air filtration and purification, there are many different options to select from. The majority of HVAC systems have at least a standard filter that will snag the larger particles and get them out of your air. This is a starting point toward clean, fresh air but you need a higher quality filtration system.
There are three basic alternatives when it comes to air filtration: air cleaners and purifiers; 2) media air cleaners and 3) basic air cleaners or filters.
- Air cleaners and purifiers. The best in air cleaning, air cleaners and purifiers will be able to remove the highest percentage of impurities from the air. They are larger, giving the kind of air purity that is expected in a surgical environment.
- Media air cleaners. The medium air filtration system is the media air cleaner. These are still highly effective in removing a significant percentage of particles from the air, including dust, dander, pollen and other allergens.
- Basic air filters. The bare minimum air filtration option is the basic air filter. These filters will remove larger particles, but also will let many of the smaller allergens pass through and back into the air.
The top rated air filtration systems use HEPA filters, which is the highest standard in air quality. These filters can capture the smallest microbes and can takeaway 99.97% of contaminants from the air, leaving behind clean air that is safe and healthy to breathe.
