Did you know that a study by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) found indoor air can actually be more polluted than the air outdoors? Since most of us spend up to 90 percent of each day indoors, you may be experiencing indoor air pollution without even knowing it.

At Total Comfort A/C Systems, we don't just work to make sure your home's air is warm or cool. We work to make sure it's as clean and comfortable as it can be. Using air filtration systems can remove up to 99.98% percent of airborne allergens from your home's filtered air. Also, for many families, a whole home dehumidifier not only provides the right amount of moisture for total comfort, it can help to keep irritating airborne particles from circulating in your home.

Whole-House Filtration Systems, Air Cleaners, UV lights and Humidifiers work with your HVAC equipment to purify and enhance the air quality in your home. Each offers a distinct method for an overall clean air solution.

The standard air cleaners on the market have filters that are very dense. Meaning they try to stop the dust by trapping it in a slightly porous filter. The fewer the pores the more dust it can trap. However, this not only stops the dust and dirt, but it also stops the air from moving as well. In other words, the amount of air that goes through your system is reduced so you may not be as comfortable. Less air is cleaned efficiently. This is called pressure drop.

Some air filtration systems have patented technology designed to let air flow freely through the system. The result, more of your air is cleaned faster and more effectively than anything else on the market. Furthermore this technology can remove up to an astounding 99.98% of airborne allergens from the air that passes through the filter, making it 8 times more effective than even the best HEPA room filters and up to 100 times more effective than a standard 1" filter.

Air cleaners offer a cost-effective way to remove up to 94 percent of the particles - dust, pollens, pet dander, plant spores, fungi, bacteria, tobacco smoke, etc. - from the air that passes through the home. Total Comfort A/C Systems offers both electronic and media air cleaners.

HEPA Filters HEPA stands for High-Efficiency Particle Arresting, which is the standard that achieves 99.9% air filtration.

Electronic Air Cleaner works by placing an electric charge on airborne particles, and then collecting the charged pollutants like a magnet. Plus, you can say goodbye to monthly filter replacements by simply washing the air cleaner cells in your dishwasher or sink.

Ultraviolet air treatment systems or UV Lamps are designed to prevent mold spore growth on air conditioning coils. This technology, used for decades in water treatment, helps reduce allergic reactions to mold while enhancing overall air quality.

Whole-house dehumidifiers remove the moisture from the air inside. This is important because in Houston it is as important a factor for total comfort as the heat itself.
