Many homeowners are aware of the effects that air pollution can have in their homes, but aren’t aware of the crucial role a HEPA filter can play in keeping it out.
While it’s true that many home heating and cool systems come with a filter, these are included mainly to protect the equipment, not the people using it, and they do not effectively eliminate pollutants and contaminants. To truly keep the air in a home clean, a proper filtration or purification system is required. A HEPA filter is one of the more efficient air cleaning products available for improving indoor air quality. As your home is a closed environment, the air inside of it can often be more polluted than the air outside. A HEPA filter helps prevent these problems in an efficient manner and offers protection from the negative side effects of air pollution.

Pollution can cause negative effects for the people living there, including:
- Respiratory conditions.
- Bodily irritations.
- Illness.
- Disease.
It is even more of a risk for individuals with allergies, asthma, hay fever and other breathing difficulties. Air pollution can also be a problem for special treasures in your home such as extensive woodwork, antiques and artwork.
A HEPA filter works to help keep your home clean by utilizing a three-stage filtration process:
Pre-Filter
HEPA Filter
V.O.C Filter
As the system is set up to remove these different types of pollutants and contaminants, a HEPA filter is a highly efficient and effective method of improving air quality in your home.
Whether you’d like to learn more about these products in general or are interested in a specific kind, such as a HEPA air purifier or HEPA
