Having clean air in a home is one way to have a happier healthier life. Air purifiers can be designed to remove dust, pollen, mold and pet dander or smoke and odors. Yuhan Heating and Air Conditioning can help you determine which type of air cleaner system would be best for your home.

Particle Removal

The most common types of air cleaners are a system of filters using electrostatic or HEPA filters. These filters remove particulate matter from the air. These type of filter systems are installed by professionals into the duct work of a home, but the filters can generally be maintained by homeowners.

Gaseous Pollutant Removal

Gas-phase air filters remove gases and odors by using a material called a sorbent, such as activated carbon, which absorbs the pollutants. These types of filters are designed to remove specific contaminants or odors such as paint fumes and toxins. These types of filters will not remove pollutants that they were not designed to remove. This type of filtration system should be installed and maintained by professionals.

Pollutant Destruction

Some filters use ultraviolet light (UV) to destroy pollutants. This type of system is generally installed where moisture might condense in a heating and cooling system. The UV light kill germs, bacteria, mold and fungus that might attempt to grow and spread through the system.
