Humidifiers
For the average home that is 2000 square feet or less, the Aprilaire Humidifier is the best solution. This system is installed on your existing duct system and wired to run automatically. The self-flushing technology eliminates standing water and keeps the humidity levels perfect, factoring in the outdoor temperature as well as the indoor needs. This system is the best fit for ease of maintenance, installation and operation. The Aprilaire flow-through humidifier was first introduced in 1954, and although others have attempted to duplicate it, it is still the premier humidifier for the average home.
For homes larger than 2,000 square feet, a larger capacity humidifier is necessary to ensure proper humidification. Therefore, we recommend the Nortec Steam Humidifier. For more details, please contact our Residential Home Comfort Consultants.
Air Cleaners
Air Cleaners are one of the most popular accessory items for your Home Comfort System. At this time, all of our air cleaners connect to your existing duct distribution system.
If you do not have a ducted system, there are currently no air cleaners we could recommend.
Our “top picks” in the air cleaner market are the following:
Cleaneffects® by Trane
99.98% effective on removing air borne allergens from your home, the Trane Cleaneffects uses pre filters, and electronically charged ionizing media, to remove 99.98% of dust and allergens. This system has the largest delivery rate for a Residential product.
Aprilaire Model 5000
Installed as part of your home comfort system, the Model 5000 traps airborne particles by passing them through an electrode control and then depositing them on grounded micro-fiber media. This Electronic Air Cleaner is 80% effective on air-borne virus sized particles and 98% effective on bacteria sized particles.
Ultra Violet Lights
There are several UV light systems used for germicidal control in duct systems. The number of UV light tubes needed is determined by the size of your home. The true purpose of any Ultra Violet light system is to kill any bacteria that may be lingering in the ductwork.
