Many consumers think of HVAC contractors only as a source for heating and cooling installation and service and are unaware of the role they can play in improving indoor air quality (IAQ). HVAC contractors should take note of the fact that interest in IAQ has spiked tremendously of late and should educate themselves and their customers on effective IAQ products and strategies.
In addition to traditional IAQ approaches like advanced filtration, air cleaners, duct sealing, duct cleaning, ceiling insulation, dehumidifiers, and additional returns, newer scientifically-proven IAQ technologies include in-duct and coil ultraviolet germicidal irradiation systems (UVGI), ionizing in-duct air purifier, and other advanced methods. E.P. Homiek Sheet Metal & HVAC Supply carries a number of high-quality advanced IAQ technologies by Honeywell including:
Honeywell UV2400U 24V UV Air Purifier with AirBRIGHT™ Odor Absorption is a whole-house UVGI unit used for both coil and air treatment to remove airborne particles such as pollen and dust, potentially harmful viruses and bacteria, and odors from food and pets. It also addresses surface mold that can accumulate on coils.
Honeywell UV100 UV Treatment System eliminates up to 99.9% of mold spores present in an HVAC system and kills up to 87% of certain airborne bacteria passed by the system, resulting in a more energy-efficient home with optimal air quality.
Honeywell F300 Electronic Air Cleaner is an affordable, low-maintenance whole-house solution that captures up to 99% of particles from air that passes through the system. How it works: First, larger particles are caught by prefilters. The air then passes through an ionizing section, causing particles to clump together and stick to collector plates. Air exits the unit through a postfilter that captures nearly all remaining particles. No replacement filters are required; simply remove the filter every 6-12 months, wash it, and reinstall it.
Honeywell Whole-House Media Air Cleaners are effective in capturing microscopic particles like dust and smoke in addition to larger contaminants such as mold spores and pet dander. The F100 is up to 85% more efficient at capturing airborne particles compared to a standard one-inch filter. The F200 with Filter Reminder is up to 97% more efficient compared to a standard one-inch filter and includes an indicator that will notify the homeowner when it needs to be changed. Both versions require are widely compatible and require filter replacement every 6-12 months.
