Understanding the Difference Between Air Filtration and Air Cleaning

Main | Blog

In the heart of San Jose and the Silicon Valley area, ensuring optimal indoor air quality is essential for comfortable living. At AAA Furnace, Air Conditioning & Water Heater Service, we recognize the importance of clean, healthy air in your home. As your go-to experts in HVAC services, we are here to guide you through the nuances of air filtration and air cleaning, helping you make informed decisions for your residential units.

Air Filtration in Your HVAC System

Your HVAC system’s standard air filter plays a crucial role in maintaining decent air quality. While this filter effectively traps larger particles that could harm the system’s components, it may not adequately capture the minute particles that significantly affect indoor air quality. With a low Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value (MERV), standard filters have limitations in enhancing air quality.

The Power of Air Cleaning

For a more comprehensive approach to improving indoor air quality, specialized air cleaning equipment is the way to go. At AAA Furnace, we recommend exploring two main types of air cleaners to elevate the air quality in your home:

Filtration Units: These units feature filters with higher MERV ratings, designed to capture microscopic allergens and contaminants such as mold spores, pollen, dust mites, soot, tobacco smoke particles, and pet dander. Despite their enhanced filtration capabilities, these units integrate seamlessly into your HVAC system without causing airflow issues.
Purifier Units: Utilizing ultraviolet (UV) light technology, air purifiers effectively eliminate harmful microorganisms like viruses and bacteria from the conditioned air. By installing purifier units near the air handler, your home can enjoy purified air throughout.

At AAA Furnace, we prioritize educating our customers in San Jose and the Silicon Valley area on energy efficiency and home comfort related to HVAC systems. Our expert team is dedicated to helping you make informed choices that enhance your indoor air quality and overall well-being.
