Whole house air filtration??
I'm trying to find information about whole house air filtration systems.
Scenario: My wife and I have a cat. (It's mainly my wife's.) This cat has lived outdoor in our screened porch for a few years. He's now getting to the point that he's figured out how to shred the screen and otherwise get out. So, we're contemplating making him an indoor cat. Problem: I'm allergic to cats. Beyond that, I can't stand the odor of homes that have pets in them. I'm wondering about the efficacy of whole house HEPA (or other, if there are alternatives) air filters. Our home is about 2000 sq. ft. and has only 1 air conditioning/heater return (heat pump). Are there systems that install in conjunction with the filter for that system? Or should I be looking at some type of stand alone system? If I were to get a "good" system, is it going to get rid of cat odors (assuming regular vacuuming, etc.)? Any advice here would be appreciated. I really don't want an indoor cat, but I've grown fond of this one (and I'm also very fond of my wife as well). The more specific the advice, the better. Tony |

Less than $100.00 They make 95% to 98% media filters to go in your filter rack of your heat pump. More Than $500.00 ++ then They make '' April Aire '' Air cleaners or others that work with your hvac system to clean the air that goes through it. You will have to figue out how much you want to spend then look at what they have to clean the air in that price range. Now for about $100K i can make your house a Clean room. You know the space shows where everybody wears a space suite to keep clean and all. TURTLE |
