Home Air Filtration

Is Your Air Filtration System Protecting Your Family?

To find out, try this simple test: open the drapes when the sun is shining bright. Is the air clear, or do you see specks of “dust” floating everywhere? All air conditioning and heating systems are installed with air filtration devices, but most fall short of really cleaning the air.

Now It’s Safe to Breathe!

Help is here. Berkeys recommends the Captura air filtration system, which removes up to 99.98% of allergens from filtered air. The Captura system uses 2 types of filtration: HEPA with Polarized Media Filtration and UV germicidal purification. Both systems can be added on to most existing HVAC systems installed in homes.

The HEPA air filtration system can significantly reduce or even eliminate particulates such as pollen, dust mite dander, insect debris, tobacco smoke, mold, fungi, mildew, pet allergens, and dust. Polarized Media Filtration is a new type of filter that can be installed into the existing filter slot in your HVAC system. Together, this air filtration system can purify the air in your home unlike anything else available on the market.

The Captura UV Filtration System uses UV to attract and eliminate germs such as bacteria and viruses.

What’s In Your Home’s Air?

The Environmental Protection Agency has found that indoor air can be up to five times less healthy than outside air. Consider:

• The average home creates more than 40 pounds of dust each year.
• Each ounce of dust contains about 40,000 dust mites, one of the most common household allergens.
• As many as 72 trillion allergens find their way into your home every day.
• About 45% of homes in the United States have one or more people with asthma or allergies.
• Children are especially sensitive to airborne allergens because they inhale 50% more air per pound of body weight than adults.
• Tobacco smoke contains more than 4,000 chemical compounds, many of which are strong irritants.
• If your heating and air conditioning system doesn’t have effective air filtration, it makes contamination worse by circulating suspended particulates instead of trapping them.
