Your heating and cooling unit keeps your family comfortable in both warm and cold weather. But with Trane’s line of optional air filters, your family can be breathing cleaner air, as well. Not only will you be getting Trane’s outstanding quality, you’ll be ridding your house of irritating allergens.
Trane CleanEffects™ Traps Allergens in its Filter
Trane’s CleanEffects™ was found by LMS Technologies and Environmental Health & Engineering to be 100 times more effective than the 1” filter normally used in households. With these results being verified by the Harvard School of Public Health, it’s hard to deny the filter’s benefits. As air passes through the CleanEffects™ filter, the filter captures 99.98% of the particles, but CleanEffects™ uses a unique system that allows the filter to capture allergens without blocking airflow. This allows your Trane system to maintain its superior efficiency while still keeping the air in your house pure.
Even better, because of its design, CleanEffects™ requires no replacement filters, saving your family additional money. The filters merely need to be vacuumed or cleaned using water once or twice a year. An indicator on the outside of the unit will let you know when it’s time to clean your filter.
The CleanEffects™ filter produces .3 parts per billion ozone to a household, which is well below the industry standard of 50 parts per billion. This means the air in your house is both clean and environmentally safe.
PerfectFit™ Filters—Three Options Help You Find the Perfect Fit
Trane offers three filtration options, with CleanEffects™ being top of the line. Trane offers PerfectFit™ 1” pleated filters, which are still up to six times more effective than standard 1” filters generally used with air conditioning systems. The PerfectFit™ pleated filter is available in a variety of sizes to fit your system and is easy to replace. For those wanting better filtering, the PerfectFit™ 5” filter is up to fifteen times more effective than a standard filter, providing optimum air cleaning for those who aren’t quite ready to go to the CleanEffects™ system.
All air that flows through PerfectFit™ filters are filtered, reducing allergens in your home significantly. If you choose, you may later upgrade either PerfectFit™ filter to the CleanEffects™ system.
Filters are an important part of your HVAC system, catching allergens and other airborne particles that can cause negative health effects. The Environmental Protection Agency says indoor air can be two to five times more polluted than outdoor air, no matter where the home is located. This shows the importance of not only filtering indoor air, but keeping your filters fresh. Trane’s PerfectFit™ filter goes above and beyond standard filters, giving your family that added protection it needs. This can help with everything from seasonal allergies to asthma, allowing everyone to breathe better.
Trane FreshEffects™–Cleaner, Fresher Air in Your Home
Does your home smell fresh? Sometimes all the candles in the world can’t get rid of that stale feleing. With Trane’s unique FreshEffects™ ventilator, you can circulate that air, pulling in much fresher outdoor air. Additionally, you’ll have Trane’s outstanding efficiency, making your home environmentally sound as well as economical.
FreshEffects™ also reduces the humidity in the air in the summertime, which can cut down on dust mites, which thrive in moist conditions. In the winter, the FreshEffects™ system pulls humidity in, reducing the dryness that tends to exist as you heat your home through the cold months.
Like Trane’s other products, the FreshEffects™ ventilator has high-quality components, including a powder-painted cabinet and a high-performance motor. The Static Plate Energy Transfer Core makes your unit more efficient, allowing for better transfer of moisture and heat. Typical home odors from pets, cooking, and other daily lifestyle activities will no longer be trapped inside your home by great insulation. The FreshEffects™ system will help circulate it out, bringing fresh air in.
Trane Humidifiers—A Different Kind of Humidifier
The environment in a home can become dry, especially in the winter. This can cause problems with skin dryness, as well as breathing problems as airborne allergens are allowed to circulate freely. Humidifiers can be very helpful in putting moisture back into dry environments, restoring your home environment to a more livable space.
Trane has three models of humidifiers, each built with Trane’s superior attention to detail. The small bypass with manual control can handle homes up to 3,000 square feet and output up to 12 gallons of moisture per day. For use with all models of furnaces, this model is less convenient if you prefer to automate your humidifying experience.
The two larger models have automatic controls for your convenience. The large bypass model also works with all models of furnaces and can handle spaces of up to 4,000 square feet. This model outputs up to 16.8 gallons of moisture per day. The fan-powered model can handle spaces of up to 4,200 square feet, with an output of as much as 18 gallons of moisture per day.
A humidifier also has the benefit of reducing static electricity in the air in your home. Static electricity can be a huge nuisance for your family. By installing a Trane humidifier, you can get up from the sofa without that feeling of dread that you’ll get a shock every time you touch something.
Dry air can also have a negative impact on the items in your house, including furniture and artwork. Wood can dry out in excessively arid environments, possibly cracking and splitting under enough pressure. Wood floors and other woodwork can also change shape in dry environments, possibly causing permanent damage to your floors and trim as wood begins to separate.
In general, humidified air just feels better in the wintertime. The temperature in your house will feel warmer at cooler temperatures, which can help reduce your heating bill when you need it most.
