Breathe Cleaner, Fresher Air with Florida Comfort AC
What Is Air Filtration and Why Is It Important?
Air filtration is a crucial component of maintaining clean, healthy air in your home. It involves using specialized filters to remove airborne particles, pollutants, allergens, and other contaminants from the air that circulates through your HVAC system. These particles can include dust, pollen, pet dander, mold spores, bacteria, viruses, and even volatile organic compounds (VOCs), all of which can negatively impact your health and comfort.
At Florida Comfort AC, we understand the importance of clean air in your home, especially for those with allergies, asthma, or respiratory conditions. That’s why we offer a range of air filtration solutions designed to help you breathe easier and improve the overall air quality in your home. Whether you’re looking for basic air filters or advanced filtration systems, our experts are here to help you find the best solution for your needs.
Types of Air Filtration Systems
There are several types of air filtration systems available, each designed to target different types of contaminants. Some of the most common options we provide include:
- Standard Air Filters: Most HVAC systems come with basic filters that trap large particles like dust and pet hair. These filters are typically rated by their Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value (MERV), which measures their ability to capture particles. Standard filters are effective at trapping dust and debris but may not be sufficient for those with more sensitive respiratory issues or allergies.
- High-Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) Filters: HEPA filters are designed to capture even smaller particles, including pollen, smoke, and microscopic dust. These filters are highly effective at removing allergens and are a popular choice for homeowners with respiratory conditions. A HEPA filter can capture up to 99.97% of airborne particles as small as 0.3 microns.
- UV Air Purifiers: UV light systems are often used in conjunction with air filters to eliminate bacteria, viruses, and mold. UV light works by disrupting the DNA of harmful microorganisms, preventing them from reproducing and spreading disease. When paired with air filters, UV air purifiers provide comprehensive protection against a wide range of contaminants.
- Electronic Air Cleaners: These devices use an electric charge to attract and trap airborne particles. Electronic air cleaners are highly effective at removing dust, pollen, and other allergens from the air, and they can be used in conjunction with standard air filters to enhance filtration.
- Whole-House Air Filtration Systems: These systems are designed to filter the air throughout your entire home, working seamlessly with your HVAC system. A whole-house air filtration system offers advanced filtration capabilities, ensuring that every room in your home has cleaner, healthier air.
How Air Filtration Improves Indoor Air Quality
By incorporating an air filtration system into your home’s HVAC system, you can significantly improve your indoor air quality and enjoy a range of benefits:
-
- Reduction in Allergens: Air filters capture common allergens like pollen, dust mites, pet dander, and mold spores, reducing the presence of these irritants in your home. This is particularly beneficial for individuals who suffer from allergies, asthma, or other respiratory conditions.

-
- Cleaner, Fresher Air: By removing dust, dirt, and other contaminants, air filtration systems help create a cleaner and more comfortable living environment. You’ll notice less dust buildup on furniture and surfaces, and the air will feel fresher and more breathable.
-
- Healthier Home Environment: Reducing airborne pollutants can lead to fewer respiratory issues, less irritation in the eyes and throat, and a generally healthier indoor environment. This is especially important for families with young children, elderly members, or those with weakened immune systems.
-
- Protection for Your HVAC System: A good air filtration system helps prevent dust and dirt from accumulating in your HVAC system. This can improve system efficiency, prevent clogs, and extend the lifespan of your equipment. It also reduces the need for frequent cleaning and maintenance.
- Odor Control: Air filters, especially those with activated carbon, can help eliminate unpleasant odors from your home. Whether it’s cooking smells, pet odors, or smoke, air filtration can help create a more pleasant atmosphere.

Introduction to Bypass HEPA
High-Efficiency Particulate Arrestance (HEPA) filters are among the best filters on the market today. HEPA filters were originally developed by the Atomic Energy Commission during World War II to remove hazardous radioactive dust from manufacturing plant exhausts. In order to receive a HEPA filter designation, a filter must collect 99.97% of a specific particulate that measures 0.3 microns in size, in tests established by the Institute of Environmental Sciences. The AirSentinel™ HEPA system is 99.97% at 0.3 microns and removes particles as small as 0.01 microns.
- Fast and easy installation
- Available with a 14″ lamp
- Produces an output of 55 microwatts @ 1 meter

Pan Treatments keep your HVAC system working efficiently
Most homeowners are unaware of the dangers lurking within their heating and cooling system. The dark damp environment is a perfect breeding ground for mold, bacteria, and water-borne micro-organisms. Inside your HVAC system, there is an indoor cooling coil that pulls the humidity from the air and cools it to make you comfortable in the summertime. When the hot moist air hits this coil it sweats and drips into a drain pan beneath the coil. If not treated, standing, stale water can breed contaminants that can cause challenges with your system and in the air you breathe.
This water can create some undesirable consequences, including:
Overflows from clogged air-conditioner drain pans due to the formation of slime, which can cause expensive damage to ceilings and/or other property.
Contaminants found in drain pans can cause foul-smelling odors and air quality problems.
Retained water can cause corrosion and premature failure of metal drain pans.
Time-Release Drain Pan Treatments, placed in the condensate drain pan between the coil and the drain opening, are designed to intercept the path of the water to the drain. The blue polyester sock and polymer shell stay put in the drain pan until the system is cleaned again in six months to a year, depending on the weather environment that you live in.
Time-Release Condensate Drain Pan Treatments use state-of-the-art, water-activated, time-release polymer technology. The product may be used safely in air-conditioner and refrigerator drain pans, dehumidifier water tanks, or any other non-potable water retention area. The honeycombed solid package remains intact until it becomes activated by moisture… then it deactivates again, providing dependable, sustained time-release protection for just a penny a day. The system contains a corrosion inhibitor and adds a light, pleasant scent to the air as it works.
Studies by utility companies and independent universities show that an improperly maintained and dirty HVAC system can increase your utility payments by as much as 40%. Routine documented maintenance on your HVAC system will protect your system warranty while keeping your system running at peak energy and cooling efficiency. Be sure to have your indoor cooling coils checked annually and your time-release condensate drain pan treatment changed a minimum of once a year to keep standing water in the drain pan bacteria-free and odor-free.
