The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) encourages Americans to consider the potential for air pollution in their homes. It’s particularly problematic for children, older adults, and people with asthma and bad allergies. To address this issue, Home Comfort Solutions recommends considering our whole-home air purifiers in Edmond, OK. An air purification system can eliminate allergens, gases, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and other pollutants.
"This company is great! Always on time and got to us as fast as they could! They will try their best to repair your AC/heating system! Eric was so nice and did a great job at getting our air back on during a heat wave!"
Whole-house air purifiers can work with a ducted or ductless HVAC system. For homes with a ductless system, we can install the air purifier with its own centrally located duct separate from your heating and cooling system. For a ducted system, we typically install the equipment in the duct itself, and the filtered air will enter your rooms through the HVAC vents. These purification systems usually have fans, so we don’t have to worry about restricting airflow.
An important consideration when choosing an air purifier is air changes per hour (ACH). ACH indicates how many times a system will filter all the air in a home in an hour. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends 4 ACH as a minimum. Many of the systems we offer are 5 ACH or higher. Consider 6 ACH or higher if someone in your family has asthma, bad allergies, or other severe respiratory issues.
An air purification system will usually have one or more forms of mechanical filtration. It’s common to have an inexpensive prefilter that traps the largest particles and protects the more expensive filter media. The primary mechanical filter can trap almost 100% of all particulate matter down to 0.3 microns in size. That includes allergens and the fine particulate matter associated with ambient air pollution.
Many systems will also have a filter stage with activated carbon. Activate carbon absorbs unpleasant odors. It also absorbs gases, fumes, airborne chemicals, VOCs, etc.
Ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI) is an option as well. It neutralizes viruses and bacteria. Since UVGI benefits from slower-moving air, we’ll generally install UV lamps alongside the air purifier in the ducts.

Less fatigue
Better sleep
Fewer headaches
A fresher smelling home
