The standard disposable fiberglass filter in your air conditioner removes only 10 to 15% of the dirt, dust, pollen, and other airborne particles in your home. By simply upgrading to a pleated disposable filter you can increase the filtering efficiency by six times.

Other filtration methods are available which will greatly reduce the amount of these hazardous particles. Six inch high efficiency pleated filters are roughly 15 times more effective than the standard disposable filter in removing microscopic particles and bioaerosols.

Electronic air cleaners operate off an electrical charge which effectively zaps the dust particles as they enter the filter. This system is about 40 times more effective than standard disposable filters in removing particles in the air such as pollen, dust, mold spores and other microscopic irritants that make life miserable for people with allergies and respiratory problems. These same contaminants can also harbor harmful bacteria and viruses.

The Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (www.aafa.org) states "As a patient organization dedicated to improving the quality of life for people with asthma and allergies, AAFA recommends controlling air quality in the home as an effective method to reduce allergy and asthma symptoms." This is why AAFA and Lennox have entered into an educational agreement to promote air purification in the home. The success of the Lennox Pure Air System has been independently tested and proven to clean the air in the home better than any other system available today. This system combines several filtering methods into one complete indoor air quality system.
