Clean air – it makes a difference for quality of sleep, alleviating allergy symptoms, and overall health. This cold and flu season, coupled with Covid-19, consider the benefits of air purification where you live and where you work.
Filter or air cleaner
Testing shows that the air quality in many homes and offices is less than ideal, and in some cases exhibits more pollutants than outside air. In homes, stale air can be quickly freshened by opening windows and doors, but office settings may limit such options. Both filters and air cleaners provide solutions for improving air quality.
- In reasonably-ventilated homes, HEPA air filters work with a standard HVAC system to remove the vast majority of air particles that cause allergies and breathing issues, including smoke, dust, and dander. They also work in office settings, keeping in mind they should be changed frequently to work at maximum efficiency.
- Where natural ventilation is a challenge and in cases where pathogens (bacteria and viruses) are a concern, air cleaners/purifiers are best. Air purifiers use such technology as ultraviolet light and electricity to deactivate pathogens, rendering them harmless.
At Clayton Heating & Air Conditioning, we recommend the Air Scrubber by Aerus. Installed directly into a home or commercial HVAC system, it removes both surface and airborne contaminants. The proprietary technology removes VOCs, odors, dust, dander, and many other allergens.
In the current pandemic climate, you can’t afford to take chances with your indoor air quality. With cold weather coming, homes and offices will need to keep windows closed, making air purifiers a critical part of combatting viruses and keeping air healthy.

- Ban indoor smoking.
- Dust and vacuum frequently.
- Change furnace filters regularly.
