Clear the air in your home
with GENERALAire's air cleaners and air purifiers.
Air
quality is only a concern outdoors, isn't it? Not really. While
it's easy to focus on visible pollutants — smokestacks, vehicle
exhaust, etc. — the air inside your home can be even more hazardous
to your health. And studies have estimated that most people spend as
much as 90% of their time indoors.
Even
though they are invisible to the naked eye, billions of tiny particles
of dust, smoke, pollen, animal dander, and microscopic dust mites can
literally cover your carpet, drapes, and furniture — even the clothes
you wear. The American College of Allergy and Immunology reports that
house dust is a major cause of allergies in persons with year-round
complaints. Further, it is estimated that the average six-room house
collects more than 40 pounds of dust each year. Left alone, your home
can quickly turn into a breeding ground for bacteria that can cause
or inflame a wide variety of physical and respiratory ailments.
Your
home can also harbor noxious fumes and gases. Foul odors not only disrupt
comfort but can lead to headaches, dizziness, and nausea. In addition
to health risks posed by chemical irritants, smoke and cooking grease
drawn into your ventilation system can build up on the inside of ducts
and other surfaces and reduce the efficiency of your furance and air
conditioner.
What
can I do to improve the air quality in my home? A two-pronged approach
is best. First, use a high efficiency air cleaner capable of filtering
out contaminants as small as 0.01 microns. In tests conducted according
to standards set by the American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and
Air Conditioning Engineers, GENERALAire's glass microfiber filtering
media captured 97% by weight of the test dust with particles ranging
from 2500 down to 0.01 microns in size.
Second,
to eliminate noxious odors and gases, use GENERALAire's activated carbon
air purifier. Activated carbon (a term used interchangeably with activated
charcoal) is more effective at capturing offensive gases or vapors than
any other known natural or manufactured material. GENERALAire's AC-2
activated carbon air purifier contains nearly 4-1/2 pounds of activated
carbon pellets — sufficient for an entire heating or cooling season.
The
AC-1 Air Cleaner is easily installed in most forced warm air heating
systems and has one of the largest particle-holding capacities among
residential air cleaners. With more than 78 square feet of microfiber
filtering media, the AC-1 removes pollen, mold, dust, animal dander,
grease, soot, and tobacco smoke for cleaner, fresher air in your home.
The AC-1 traps and removes 97% by weight of airborne particles ranging
in size from .01 to 2500 microns.
The
AC-2 Air Purifier is a companion unit to the AC-1 Air Cleaner. More
than four pounds of activated carbon pellets remove noxious fumes, vapors,
and gases circulating indoors. Low pressure drop design does not interfere
with the proper operation of your heating/cooling system.
The
AC-3 combines air cleaning with air purification in a single, easy-to-install
unit. Seventy-eight square feet of microfiber filter media and more
than four pounds of activated carbon pellets scrub the air clean of
harmful particulates and noxious odors.
