Controlling Biological Pollutants by Changing Your A/C Filter and Furnace Filter

Biological contaminants include bacteria, molds, mildew, viruses, animal dander and cat saliva, house dust, mites, cockroaches, and pollen. There are many sources of these pollutants. Pollens originate from plants; viruses are transmitted by people and animals; bacteria are carried by people, animals, and soil and plant debris; and household pets are sources of saliva and animal dander. The protein in urine from rats and mice is a potent allergen. When it dries, it can become airborne. Contaminated central air handling systems can become breeding grounds for mold, mildew, and other sources of biological contaminants and can then distribute these contaminants through the home.

By controlling the relative humidity level in a home, the growth of some sources of biologicals can be minimized. A relative humidity of 30-50 percent is generally recommended for homes. Standing water, water-damaged materials, or wet surfaces also serve as a breeding ground for molds, mildews, bacteria, and insects. House dust mites, the source of one of the most powerful biological allergens, grow in damp, warm environments. This can include your a/c filter and furnace filter where all air in your home is circulated through. Maintaining a clean a/c and furnace filter is important in keeping these biological contaminants out of your home or office.

Replace Your Dirty A/C or Furnace Filters

The filter in your A/C or furnace serves more than just one purpose. They clean the air that circulates throughout your home. They control dust particles in the air. The higher end filters can even control allergens, In fact most homeowners overlook the fact that a higher end filter helps keep the evaporator Coil cleaner. What they do not realize, is the dirt that the filter does not trap is now being caught by the evaporator which typically sits on top of  the furnace and in turn will eventually lessen the air flow and shorten the life of  both the A/C unit and the furnace. Having the evaporator removed and cleaned may cost up to $400. Maintaining a clean filter allows your components to operate at maximum efficiently.  We highly recommend that you check your a/c and furnace filters monthly to ensure a clean safe haven for your family.
