Allergy Season - How to Improve Your Indoor Air Quality

Allergy Season In New Orleans

It always seems to be allergy season in New Orleans, which likely means as you’re doing dishes, vacuuming the floor, or even resting on the couch, there’s a box of tissues and a bottle of allergy pills not too far. Even just walking outside and getting a whiff of the air might cause you to get sick. With that being said, it might be time you consider an exclusive solution for helping cope with seasonal allergies, asthma, and other problems associated with poor Indoor Air Quality.  Improving your Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) helps with your allergen exposure, The solution to improving your indoor air quality is called the Clean Air Defense System.

How to Improve Your Indoor Air Quality in New Orleans

EPA - Indoor Air Can Be 2-10x More Polluted Than Outdoors

According to the EnvironmentalProtection Agency, the air inside the typical home can be anywhere from two to 10 times more polluted than the air outside. There are an estimated 34 million Americans suffering from asthma, which is typically worsened by allergies. About 70 percent of asthmatics also suffer from allergies according to the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology.

Typical home construction in the modern era seals and insulates so well that the air inside the home is simply recirculated over and over again. “What that means is that all that nasty stuff like pollen, dust mite waste, viruses, and bacteria is also recirculated again and again until it is trapped… either by a filter or, worse yet, in your lungs,” commented  Korey Knobloch, IAQ Specialist at Help Air Conditioning.

Clean Air Defense System for Your Home

In response to the need of homeowners to find a better solution to poor indoor air, we encourage our customers to consider solutions like the Clean Air Defense System.  Dynamic Air just came out with an updated and better allergy fighting system. For more than 20 years Knobloch has been involved with IAQ related information and well-versed in UV Light Kits work for which symptoms. "This Dynamic Air product line has always been at the top in my opinion," stated Knobloch.  "This is mainly because they know what they are talking about." 

Steve Mores, owner of Dynamic Air, has been involved with Indoor Air Quality for at least 25 years. When Mores set out to design the latest UV kits, he focused on product durability and perfecting a solution to help people that suffer from allergy-related coughs and sinus problems. 

Clean Air Defense System’s Three Lines of Defense

There are 3 phases of poor IAQ and each requires a different way of handling them.  The 3 Phases are:

PHASE 1 | Particles and Allergens

It is all about the stuff flying around in the air, most of which we cannot see.  The visible particles can be seen when the sunlight comes through your window; dust is floating around. This is tackled by proper filtration.  Beware of "Allergy Filters" as they will hurt your air conditioning system by reducing air flow. HELP!! Air Conditioning has you covered with the Air Ranger Filtration System. It requires no duct modification and slides right into your return air grill.

AirRanger Polarized Whole House High-Efficiency Air Cleaners

Clean Air DefenseAir Cleaners use electronic polarized-media technology for maximum air cleaning capability. Airborne particles pass through the field and adhere to the filter media where they are captured and removed from the air. 

These Air Cleaners capture the smallest sub-micron particles in addition to airborne pathogens and VOC's (volatile organic compounds such as gases from household cleaners) and capture 97% of particles at .3 microns in size and continue trapping particles much smaller in size.

PHASE 2 | Germs and Infectious Agents

Phase 2 is about the particles we can't see floating in the air causing respiratory problems such as throat and ear infections, as well as the dreaded common cold viruses.  UV Light is Mother Nature's way of cleaning some of our air problems.  However, the sun's UV rays do not reach inside of our homes and more importantly, the lungs of our homes the air conditioning system and duct work.  The newly designed UV Light Kit can destroy these germs each time they pass by the UV light bulb resulting in cleaner and healthier indoor air.

Air Ranger Polarized Whole House High-Efficiency Air Cleaners PLUS BioForce Defender Germicidal UVC Lamps

The Clean Air Defense System Germicidal UVC Lamp is a high-output germicidal lamp that harnesses the energy of the sun's UVC rays to disrupt the DNA of living viruses, bacteria and other living airborne organisms, killing or sterilizing them so they can no longer reproduce. Germicidal UVC is effective against viruses, bacteria, molds and mold spores, pollen, and other pathogens, making the air inside any home cleaner and healthier to breathe.

PHASE 3 | Chemical Gases and Odors

Cleaning chemicals, building products off gassing and Formaldehyde cannot be seen with the naked eye.  These gases typically cause dizziness, headaches and nausea.  The Phase 3 UV Kits can also help control odors in your home, such as pet odor.

Air Ranger Polarized Whole House High-Efficiency Air Cleaners PLUS the Active BioForce Defender Dual Wavelength Germicidal Oxidizing System

The Clean Air Defense System Oxidizing UVC System is a dual wavelength UVC/UVV system that harnesses the energy or the sun's UVC and UVV rays to control germs and gases. It is capable of superior odor control with the patented and adjustable UVV lamp chamber. The powerful UVC lamp kills and sterilizes germs while the photochemical reaction that takes place with the UVV lamp controls gases and odors in the home.
