Expert Tips from Frost & Kretsch Heating & Cooling
Air Purifiers: Capture the Microscopic Culprits
Air purifiers work alongside your HVAC unit to trap airborne particles you can’t see—dust mites, pet dander, pollen, and even some bacteria and viruses. High-efficiency filters (think HEPA-style or high MERV ratings) capture up to 99% of particles down to 0.3 microns. By installing a whole-house air purifier, you’ll notice fewer sneezes, less dust on surfaces, and a fresher indoor environment.
Humidifiers: Balance Moisture for Health & Comfort
Michigan’s winters can dry out indoor air, leading to cracked skin, scratchy throats, and static shocks. A whole-home humidifier attaches directly to your HVAC system to add the perfect amount of moisture throughout your house. Proper humidity levels (between 30%–50%) also help reduce the spread of certain viruses, protect wood floors and furniture, and keep nasal passages comfortable.
Energy Recovery & Heat Recovery Ventilators: Fresh Air Without the Draft
Tightly sealed homes are energy-efficient but can trap stale air and indoor pollutants. ERVs and HRVs exchange stale indoor air with fresh outdoor air—while transferring heat or coolness between the two air streams to minimize energy loss. This constant airflow reduces odors, lowers CO₂ buildup, and helps control humidity for healthy, balanced indoor air year-round.
UV Lights & Electronic Air Cleaners: Kill Germs at the Source
UV-C light systems installed in your air handler can neutralize mold spores, bacteria, and viruses that pass through your ducts. Electronic air cleaners create an electrostatic charge that clings to pollutants, pulling them out of the airstream. These systems work quietly behind the scenes, giving you an extra layer of protection against unwanted microbes.
Routine Maintenance: The Foundation of Clean Air
No add-on can perform well if your HVAC system is neglected. Regular maintenance—filter changes every 1–3 months, annual tune-ups, and duct inspections—ensures optimal airflow, energy efficiency, and consistent performance of your air-quality upgrades.
