Regularly Change Your Air Filters

Your air filter guards you against pollutants and allergens inside your home. They trap pollen, bacteria, pet dander, and mold. This can’t happen if you’re not regularly changing your filter in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations. Plus, a clean air filter means you are preserving your system’s effectiveness.

UV Germicidal Lights

Germicidal lights give you an effective, non-chemical way to terminate pollutants when they move through your home comfort system. Lennox® offers germicidal lights with the most UV intensity obtainable that destroys the DNA of bacteria, viruses, and fungi that pass through your system. Since the DNA is defeated, these contaminants can’t grow or reproduce. Additionally, germicidal lights have been found to minimize the concentration of microorganisms by 50% in as few as 45 minutes and they continue to keep your air clean and healthy, even when your system isn’t constantly running.

Duct Cleaning

Most households breed large amounts of dust and dirt every year, and your home comfort system is reliable for filtering these things out of your air. Through time, your air ducts can become quite dirty. Having them serviced will remove dirt, debris, and other pollutants, and unclog your system. You’ll find that that cleaning your air ducts will have the pleasing side effects of making your home smell better and helping you breathe comfortably.
