How
can I tell if I need an Honeywell Whole House HEPA Filter.
If someone
in your family has allergies to airborne particulates, they should
experience relief when a Honeywell HEPA Filter is installed. If you
have a toddler at home, childhood ailments caused by airborne particles
should be less of a problem. Older members of your family should
breathe more easily. Health professionals widely acknowledge that
health improves as the concentrations of indoor airborne particulates
decrease. |
 |
Will
an Honeywell Whole House HEPA Filter help my allergies?
Many allergies
are caused by exposure to airborne allergens including pollen and
fungus spores, An Honeywell Whole House HEPA Filter eliminates on
amazing 99.97% of the submicroscopic airborne particulates (0.3
microns) and even more of the larger particles such as pet dander
and dust mite feces. If airborne particulates cause your allergies,
you should experience relief. |
 |
There
is a smoker in my house, will an Honeywell Whole House HEPA Filter
help protect my family?
Yes, a Honeywell
HEPA Filter can remove about 90% of the minute particles contained
in tobacco smoke. But, smoking in any enclosed space will create
gases which can harm others. No particulate filtration system will
protect you from cigarette gases! |
 |
How
quickly will I notice a difference?
An improvement
in air quality is often apparent within 12 hours of turning on the
Honeywell Whole House HEPA Filter. |
 |
Should
it run continuously to keep the air clean?
When your house
is occupied (you're not away on vacation), the maximum benefit is
attained by running the Honeywell Whole House HEPA Filter continuously. |
 |
Will
it work in my home?
The Honeywell
Whole House HEPA Filter is easily installed in homes with a forced
air conditioning system. Should your home use a radiant heat source
(electric baseboard, hot water, etc.) a basic air distribution system
can be installed which will be very effective. |
 |
How
can a "by-pass" HEPA filter clean all the air in my house?
In an average
2500 sq. ft. home (no basement) all the air in the house passes
through the air handler approximately 4.5 times every hour. With
the Honeywell HF350 in a "by-pass" configuration, treating
about one-third of this air continuously, close to 100% of the air
in the house will be cleaned every hour. This means the Honeywell
HF350 will clean the air in the average home 24 times each day. |
|
Will
it affect my existing air distribution system?
Honeywell Whole
House HEPA Filters contain their own blowers and are normally installed
in a "by-pass" configuration. This means about one-fifth
to one-third of the air about to pass through the air handler is
drawn off, cleaned, and returned to the airstream before the air
handler. It will have no effect on the efficiency of your heating
system. |
|
Should
I keep the filters in my air handler?
Yes, they help
keep your cooling components free from dust and dirt. By trapping
large airborne particles they will increase the life of the Honeywell
HEPA Filter so that it can do what it does best - trap the very
small particles that pass through the air handler filter. |
|
What
maintenance would I have to perform?
Normally just
a semi-annual check to make sure the fan and motor are operating
properly. At the same time the pre-filter should be replaced (if
necessary). Every three to five years it will be necessary to replace
the HEPA filter. |
 |
Would
I dust and vacuum as often with the Honeywell HEPA Filter installed?
No! The Honeywell
Whole House HEPA Filter removes 99.97% plus of the larger particulates
it filters. Visible dust in the home will be greatly reduced. |
