Air Filtration

Do you know that 72% of your chemical exposure happens at home? How about the fact that 44% of allergy and asthma triggers come from home?

At Mid-Tenn AC and Heating, we believe that every homeowner has the right to breathe clean and pure air. Houses in Franklin, TN, have a layer of insulation that keeps the heat of the summer out and prevent your house from getting too cold in the winter. However, this insulation can mean that fresh air from the outdoors can’t circulate through your home and remove pollutants. This leads to poor indoor air quality.

If this is the case with your home, Mid-Tenn AC & Heating can provide excellent air filtration in Franklin TN, and the neighboring areas of Brentwood, Spring Hill, Thompson Station and College Grove.

One of the best ways to provide good air quality in your home is to have filters in your HVAC systems that can trap the majority of the dust, dander, pollens, and other debris circulating through your home.

Finding the right air filtration or air purifier system in Franklin, TN can be tough, so it’s best to leave it to the professionals. Fortunately, at Mid-Tenn, we have a great selection of air purifiers, so we can be sure we’ve got the perfect fit for your home.

Air can be filtered through mechanical filters. These filters do not require any external power source to work but are effective in trapping hazardous particles that try to pass through them.

Your HVAC system already has an air filter in it; but, its main purpose isn’t to clean your indoor air but to protect the inside of the AC or heater. To improve the air quality in your home, you need to install a separate air filtration system.

Air filters are assigned a minimum efficiency reporting value (MERV) which represents their efficiency of operation. An HVAC system’s built-in filters often have a pretty low MERV, which means they don’t do a great job of removing pollutants from your home.

However, if the MERV is too high, it will create too much resistance to airflow and can prevent your HVAC system from heating or cooling the air properly.

Therefore, it’s important you choose an air filtration system that matches the needs of your home. This is exactly where Mid-Tenn comes in. We can offer you an air filtration system that consists of HEPA filters and has the ideal MERV rating for your home.

HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) filters were designed to protect World War II scientists from radiation while they were building the atomic bomb. Today, HEPA filters are used widely in science labs, hospitals, and homes. These filters can remove 99.97% to 99.99% of particles that are 0.3 microns or greater in size.

This includes dander, dust, pollen, dirt, and other debris. Activated carbon filters can also catch chemicals, smoke, and bad odors from your home.

Depending on the brand of the air filtration system, HEPA filters have a MERV rating of 1721, which can handily clear pollutants from your home.
