High Efficiency Filters: A High Efficiency Filter is an investment in healthful comfort for your family and protection for your home and furnishings. This air cleaner is many times more efficient than ordinary furnace or air conditioning filters with which you may be familiar.

High efficiency air cleaners incorporate a filtering media made from microscopic fibers woven into an intricate web that traps and holds airborne particles of dust, pollen, animal dander, etc.

The spaces between the fibers are so small that particles as tiny as 0.01 micron are easily captured. By comparison, a particle 300 microns in diameter (30,000 times larger) would fit easily through the eye of a sewing needle.

Energy Recovery Ventilators: An energy recovery ventilator can help make mechanical ventilation more cost effective by reclaiming energy from exhaust airflows.

ERVs use heat exchangers to heat or cool incoming fresh air, recapturing 60 to 80 percent of the conditioned temperatures that would otherwise be lost. Models that exchange moisture between the two air streams are referred to as Energy Recovery Ventilators (ERVs).

ERVs are especially recommended in climates where cooling loads place strong demands on HVAC systems. However, keep in mind that ERVs are not dehumidifiers.

They transfer moisture from the humid air stream (incoming outdoor air in the summer) to the exhaust air stream. But, the dessicant wheels used in many ERVs become saturated fairly quickly and the moisture transfer mechanism becomes less effective with successive hot, humid periods. In some cases, ERVs may be suitable in climates with very cold winters.

If indoor relative humidity tends to be too low, what available moisture there is in the indoor exhaust air stream is transferred to incoming outdoor air.

Humidifiers: In order to make your home as comfortable as possible, you need to add moisture to the air. Doing so reduces dry throat and skin, static shocks, keeps furniture and your home from drying out and increases energy efficiency.

It’s become well known that a home with moisture feels warmer than a dry home, even at lower temperature settings. For the best selection of humidifiers for your particular needs, look to Academy Heating and Air, Inc.
