Let’s talk about clean air
There are so many different air filtration products out there that it can be confusing as to which ones suit your home’s needs. We broke down the different filtration options currently available on the market to help figure out what’s best for your family’s home. According to the EPA, “… upgrading the air filter in your furnace or central heating, ventilation, and air-conitioning (HVAC) system can help to improve indoor air quality.”
For starters, there are two main types of filtration: physical and biological. To achieve a truly complete air filtration system, your home needs a combination of both physical and biological filtration.
Physical Filtration
Trane CleanEffects Air Cleaner
The Trane CleanEffects Air Cleaner uses breakthrough air cleaning technology to remove up to an astounding 99.98% of airborne allergens from the air that passes through the filter. It catches particles as small as .1 micron, making it 8 times more effective than even the best HEPA room filters and up to 100 times more effective than a standard 1-inch filter.

Trane Media Filters
Trane 5″ media filters clean 100% of the air passing through and are up to 15 times more effective than a disposable 1″ filter. Additionally, they clean the air in your home without reducing air flow and are also easy to replace.
Biological Filtration
APCO
The Fresh-Aire UV APCO is designed to help reduce airborne odor, toxic chemical vapors, germs and biological growth in your home. The APCO (Advanced PhotoCatalytic Oxidation) system represents an entirely new type of air purifier. The combination of germicidal UV light and activated carbon cells inside APCO make it uniquely effective at reducing volatile organic compounds in the air without producing any harmful ozone. VOCs cause odors and include toxic chemical vapors such as formaldehyde and toleune.
Fresh-Aire UV
The Fresh-Aire UV® AHU Series 1 germicidal UV light system for central air systems features a robust design, durable construction and water-resistant components. Power supply is sealed for mounting in wet locations.
iWave
iWave is an air purifying device that installs in any air conditioning or heating system. When air passes over the iWave, ions produced by the device reduce pathogens, allergens, particles, smoke and odors in the air, creating a healthy environment without producing any harmful byproducts.
