HVAC Air Scrubbers in Zebulon, NC

Air pollution isn’t just a concern outside your walls. Ambient pollutants can get into your home, and there can be internal pollutant sources as well. Pollution in the home can often be worse due to higher concentration levels.

If you’d like to protect yourself from indoor air quality issues, consider air scrubbers in Zebulon, NC. Landen Heating and Cooling offers HVAC air scrubbers that can filter all the air in a home or small business multiple times an hour.

Installation of HVAC Air Scrubbers

The typical air scrubbers we install are in-duct systems. These systems take advantage of the existing HVAC ductwork, and we install them on the return side, which minimizes any static air pressure concerns.

What if you don’t have ducts? There are options. There are ductless HVAC air scrubbers, or we can install a small, dedicated duct. Using central ducts usually lowers the overall power needs of the filtration. With these alternatives, you’ll generally need a more powerful solution.

Air changes per hour (ACH) and the clean air delivery rate (CADR) are important concepts for air scrubbers. ACH indicates how much air a scrubber purifies. If a system delivers 4 ACH at 3,000 square feet, it filters all that air four times an hour. CADR is an indication of filter effectiveness. The height of the CADR you need depends on the air quality and the size of the area.

Scrubbers have integrated blowers. They function by drawing air into a closed system and then forcing it through one or more purification stages. The scrubber then vents the cleaned air. The filter stage types dictate what a scrubber can trap or neutralize and to what degree.

Many scrubbers have a prefilter that traps the largest particles and protects the more valuable primary filter. Systems often use a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter for the main mechanical filtration. HEPA filters trap at least 99.97% of particles that pass through.

Scrubbers will often have activated carbon for absorptive filtration. This is a manmade form of carbon that’s highly absorptive and has a substantial surface area. Activated carbon is effective for odor control. It also absorbs gases, such as volatile organic compounds, and chemicals, such as ammonia.

Ultraviolet (UV) light is the most effective way to neutralize bacteria, viruses, and mold spores. Most experts recommend against a scrubber with an integrated UV stage. That’s because scrubbers benefit from high airflow. UV lamps benefit from low airflow due to the longer exposure time. The solution is to add an in-duct UV light alongside the scrubber.

HVAC air scrubbers can remove many impurities from your air.
