The air that is circulated within our homes, the air that we breathe is contaminated with pollutants such as pollen, lung damaging dust, pet hair, dander, dust mites, smoke form tobacco and cooking, spores, disease-causing bacteria and viruses.  These pollutants can create a multitude of long and short term health problems including asthma, and other lung disorders.  Standard furnace filters trap between 5% to 15% of airborne particles.   In order to maintain a clean air environment it is necessary to employ the latest technologies and in this instance the best solution to indoor air pollution is to install a whole-house, high efficiency air cleaner on your central forced air heating/cooling system.

Electronic Air Cleaners

Some of the new high efficiency electronic air cleaner's remove airborne particles, as small as a virus, at an efficiency of 80%.  Standard plate-type electronic air cleaners lose efficiency over time and require regular maintenance.  On the other hand high efficiency air cleaner's specially designed electronically enhanced filtration permanently traps particulate, so you get a continuous high efficiency air filtration system.

How do I get the cleanest air possible?

Through the marvels of advanced technology, of course. Particles entering the air cleaner pass through a control electrode, which focuses and intensifies an electrical field generated by the ionizing wires. The particles are charged in the electrical field and then collected on grounded micro-fiber media.

Clean fresh air...your good health and well-being depend on it. But according to the Environmental Protection Agency, today's tightly-sealed homes and offices can have air that is up to 100 times more polluted than outdoor air. An air cleaner is an excellent way to minimize indoor pollutants. The C90B, Friedrich's second generation electronic air cleaner, effectively cleans the air for a healthier, more pleasant indoor environment. They've taken the best and made it even better. Growing concerns about ionizers and indoor ozone levels have caused confusion about what is safe. In independent test, the C90 was selected as the best safe and effective choice, producing only minimal amounts of ozone. In standardized industry testing, the C90 produced only .014 parts per million of ozone, well below the UL and FDA limit of .050 ppm. And the Friedrich C90B has been proven effective by the Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers (AHAM). The C90 has been consistently top-rated by leading publications. It quickly eliminates dust, tobacco smoke, pollen, pet dander and other allergy and asthma triggers. The C90B's clean air delivery rates (CADR) are as much as 18% higher than its predecessor, the C90A, which already outperformed 99% of the AHAM certified air cleaners on the market. And, no other air cleaner rated for 600 sq. ft. or less, outperforms the new C90B. The C90B is ENERGY STAR qualified. It uses about the same amount of electricity as a household light bulb. The C90B is quiet and unobtrusive. At times you may not even know it's running. On the low setting, it runs at 45.89 dBs, almost as quiet as a PC. This makes it ideal for bedrooms and offices, as well as for family rooms and other high-activity areas.
