Experience a cleaner, healthier indoor environment right in your New Castle home with expert air filtration solutions from Woods Family Heating & Air Conditioning. We understand the importance of quality indoor air for your family's well-being, and our advanced whole-house systems are designed to deliver exactly that: significantly reduced allergens, less household dust, and neutralized unpleasant odors.
The air inside your home can often be more polluted than the air outside. Everyday activities and environmental factors contribute to a buildup of contaminants that can impact your family's health and comfort. In New Castle, like much of Western Virginia, homes face common indoor air quality challenges including:
Breathing these pollutants day in and day out can lead to symptoms like sneezing, coughing, itchy eyes, and exacerbated respiratory conditions. At Woods Family Heating & Air Conditioning, our priority is to help your family breathe easier, ensuring a safer and more comfortable living space.
While your HVAC system uses a standard air filter, it's primarily designed to protect the equipment, not to purify your home's air. Advanced whole-house air filtration systems work in conjunction with your existing heating and cooling system to capture microscopic pollutants throughout your entire home. Unlike portable units, these integrated systems provide comprehensive and continuous air purification.
We install a variety of whole-house air filtration systems, each designed to tackle specific indoor air quality challenges:
Considered the gold standard for particle removal, HEPA Air Cleaner systems are engineered to capture 99.97% of airborne particles as small as 0.3 microns. This includes common allergens like pollen, dust mites, pet dander, and mold spores, as well as bacteria and certain viruses. They are ideal for households with severe allergies, asthma sufferers, or pets, providing a truly purified breathing environment. The effectiveness of a filter is often measured by its MERV (Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value) rating; true HEPA-level filtration typically requires a MERV 17 or higher.
Media Air Cleaner systems offer significantly higher efficiency than standard furnace filters, boasting MERV ratings often between 8 and 16. These passive filters utilize a deep, pleated filter media to capture a wide range of particles, including dust, pollen, and pet dander. They are known for their long lifespan (often lasting 6-12 months) and low pressure drop, meaning they don't impede airflow as much as some other high-efficiency filters, making them an excellent choice for general air quality improvement without taxing your HVAC system.
Electronic Air Cleaner systems use an electrostatic charge to attract and trap airborne particles. As air passes through the system, particles receive a charge and are then collected on oppositely charged plates. These systems are highly effective at capturing very small particles, including smoke, dust, and pollen. A key advantage is that the collection plates are reusable and can be washed, reducing the need for frequent filter replacements.
Often installed within your ductwork or directly above your indoor coil, UV Air Purifier and UV Coil Purifier systems use ultraviolet light to neutralize airborne biological contaminants. This includes mold spores, bacteria, and viruses as they pass through the HVAC system. While not designed to filter particles, UV lights are an excellent supplementary solution to reduce the spread of illness and prevent mold growth on your coils, often combined with other filtration methods for comprehensive protection.
These filters are specifically designed to absorb odors and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs). Activated carbon has a porous structure that traps gas molecules, making it highly effective at removing smells from cooking, pets, smoke, and chemical fumes from cleaning products or new furnishings. They are often integrated into multi-stage filtration systems to provide a complete solution for both particulate and gaseous pollutants.
Installing a whole-house air filtration system offers a multitude of benefits for your New Castle home and family:
While portable air purifiers can improve air quality in a single room, they are no match for the comprehensive purification offered by a whole-house system. A whole-house air filtration system integrates seamlessly with your existing HVAC system to continuously filter all the air that circulates throughout your entire home. This ensures consistent, uniform air quality in every room, providing a superior and more convenient solution for total home comfort and health.
