Whole Home Air Cleaners
If you or someone you live with suffers from asthma, allergies or other breathing difficulties, a whole home air cleaner can help. Whole home air cleaners are incorporated into your HVAC system to reduce the amount of pollutants entering the air circulating your home. Basic air filters don’t remove a large portion of the airborne particles that are found in your indoor air supply. That’s why at ARS/Rescue Rooter Miami, we offer whole home air cleaners that can provide a greater level of protection. These more advanced filters are installed directly into the same tracks where the normal filters would usually go.
The air cleaners work to polarize the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the air. As they pass through your HVAC system, the VOCs become attracted to other polarized particles and grow larger. Because of this, they are unable to pass through the filters and they are caught by a polarized pad with a charcoal center screen.
Whole home air cleaners can offer you:
- Comfort: Over time, these air cleaners reduce dust and help keep your home cleaner.
- Protection of your health: Many of the particles that these specialized filters catch include allergens, bacteria, and viruses.
- Protection of your HVAC system: Dust and pollutants built up in your HVAC system can actually affect its performance. Having less buildup can help extend the life of your system and also enhance its energy efficiency.
Ultraviolet Light Air Cleaners
Ultraviolet (UV) lights are one of the more popular air cleaners, used in many environments such as hospitals where germ levels need to be minimized. The UV light is installed into the ductwork of your HVAC system and can help reduce your risk of allergic reactions and illness. The air outside is naturally purified by the ultraviolet rays that are emitted by the sun. Unfortunately, your indoor air supply does not undergo the same natural purification process. Hospitals and research centers have long been using ultraviolet light air cleaners to neutralize germs and enhance air quality. Now, the same can be done in your home!
An ultraviolet light air cleaner can offer many benefits, including:
- Enhanced airflow
- Improved air quality inside your home
- Improved efficiency of your HVAC system
- Removal of bacteria and mold
- Minimized microbial buildup
- Silent operation
REME HALO Air Purifier
The REME HALO by RGF is the next generation of indoor air quality technology that is designed to eliminate sick building syndrome risks by reducing odors, air pollutants, VOCs (chemical odors), smoke, mold, bacteria and viruses. Unlike a standard UV light, these proactively kill germs
When it comes to pure air, the REME HALO by RGF makes it easy with a device that is simple to install into the ductwork of your HVAC system. While UV light air cleaners will wait for the pollutants to come through the ducts before killing them, the REME HALO purifier acts more proactively by releasing “Friendly Oxidizers” into the air. These oxidizers work to oxidize the pollutants before turning back into oxygen and hydrogen. In order to ensure that you are always getting the purest air, the REME HALO air purifier has been designed to easily be replaced. The use of the REME HALO can reduce:
- Volatile organic compounds (VOCs)
- Bacteria
- Viruses
- Smoke
- Odors
- Mold
- Air pollutants
Air Duct Cleaning
Air ducts are a key component of any HVAC system—without them the cold and warm air in your home cannot flow freely. Therefore, routine duct cleaning is crucial for keeping your system in working order. Improve your indoor air quality by letting ARS/Rescue Rooter Miami professionally clean your ducts. What are the signs that your ducts are due for a cleaning?
- You haven't had your ducts cleaned in a few years
- A member of your household is experiencing heightened allergy symptoms
- You just had new carpet installed
- You've just completed home renovations
Your heating and cooling system could be the newest and most expensive system on the market, but it will not work properly without clean, expertly designed ductwork. Carelessly installed or poorly planned ducts can waste energy and raise your bill. In addition, you want to make sure your air ducts are kept clean and free of debris. This helps stop your ducts from circulating dust and mold throughout your house.
It's common practice to have your air ducts cleaned every 5 to 7 years. The HVAC specialists at ARS/Rescue Rooter Miami use a HEPA VAC machine that has been specially designed for cleaning AC ducts. Germs, mold, and bacteria are sanitized with an anti-microbial fog treatment. For added sanitation, you can also install a whole-house air cleaner to minimize dust and assist those with allergy issues.
