Air Cleaners in Clermont, FL

Air Cleaners vs. Air Purifiers

Many people are often confused about the difference between air cleaners and air purifiers. While these terms are sometimes used interchangeably, "air cleaner" generally refers to devices that use filtration technology, whereas "air purifier" usually describes systems that use ionization technology.

The most suitable air cleaner for your home depends on the types of contaminants you need to address. It’s important to identify the common pollutants in your home and the sensitivities of your household members rather than focusing solely on terminology.

Choosing the Right Air Cleaner

If you are primarily concerned with allergens such as dust, pollen, and pet dander, look for air cleaners designed to target these pollutants. On the other hand, if your main issues involve smoke, odors, and gases, opt for devices that effectively remove these specific particles.

Whole-House Media Filters

High-performance air cleaners often utilize media filters to capture contaminants from the air. These filters, made from compressed paper fibers, can remove up to 99.97% of particulate matter that is 0.3 microns or larger. The effectiveness of media filters is measured by their MERV rating—Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value—established by the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE). The highest rating, MERV 16, is used in hospital operating rooms and filters out bacteria, smoke odors, and dander.

Pure Air Solutions

One of the leading air cleaning options is Lennox’s PureAir system, which combines PCO (photo catalytic oxidation) technology with a MERV 16 filter. This system uses UV bulbs and a titanium-dioxide coated screen to remove particles and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from the air without producing ozone. While highly effective, it requires adequate space for installation.

Reme Halo & Halo LED

We are pleased to offer the RGF REME Halo, an advanced air purifier designed to combat sick building syndrome. The HALO uses high-output Ionized Hydro-peroxide to quickly neutralize airborne microbes and reduce particulate matter, providing relief for those with allergies and respiratory issues. The REME HALO® purifies every cubic inch of air that your central air conditioning system reaches, targeting particulates, microbes, and VOCs.

Patriot Carbon

The Patriot Carbon system provides a similar approach to PureAir but focuses on neutralizing VOCs and odors. It uses UV-C light combined with activated carbon cells to eliminate VOCs, which are often the source of unpleasant odors and can be harmful.
