Platinum Indoor Air Quality System

The EPA has starkly highlighted that indoor pollutant levels can be 2 to 5 times higher than outdoor levels and sometimes exceed 100 times higher. This staggering disparity underscores the severe impact of indoor air quality on public health, with indoor pollutants consistently ranking among the top five environmental risks.

Today’s homes often foster environments where allergens thrive, exacerbating sinus and respiratory issues. Mold, bacteria, viruses, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are not just present but prevalent indoors, posing severe health risks to households and emphasizing the urgent importance of maintaining clean indoor air.

That’s why Nick’s Air Conditioning offers our customers the Platinum IAQ system—a revolutionary solution to enhance indoor air quality effortlessly. Featuring advanced purification technologies, including UV-C light and specialized filtration, Platinum IAQ effectively eliminates airborne contaminants like viruses, bacteria, and allergens, ensuring cleaner and healthier air in your home. Dive deeper into how Platinum IAQ can transform your indoor environment and discover the benefits of breathing cleaner air.

What Problems Can Air Contaminants Cause? 

These contaminants diminish indoor air quality (IAQ) and can contribute to various health concerns, from allergies to more severe respiratory conditions. 

• Mold and Mildew: Excess moisture accumulation, typically caused by insufficient ventilation or leaks, can foster the growth of mold and mildew. These fungi emit spores and mycotoxins, triggering respiratory issues and worsening allergy symptoms.
• Viruses and Bacteria: Airborne pathogens such as viruses (such as influenza and COVID-19) and bacteria (like Legionella) can spread indoors, potentially leading to respiratory infections and illnesses.
• Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs): Products found in homes, such as paints, cleaning agents, and furniture, release volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which can result in immediate health impacts such as headaches and dizziness and more serious long-term effects, including organ damage.
• Allergens and Particulate Matter: Indoor environments can accumulate a variety of allergens, such as dust mites, pollen, pet dander, and other particles, which can exacerbate allergies and respiratory problems for individuals. These unseen allergens can trigger uncomfortable symptoms like sneezing, coughing, and wheezing, particularly in sensitive individuals.
• Radon: A naturally occurring radioactive gas, radon can infiltrate homes through cracks in foundations or walls, presenting a significant health hazard with prolonged exposure. To safeguard against potential health risks, it is crucial to test for radon levels regularly and take necessary measures to mitigate its presence in indoor environments.

• Carbon Monoxide (CO): Carbon monoxide is colorless and odorless, produced by gas appliances like furnaces and stoves. It is difficult to detect without a CO detector, and prolonged exposure can be fatal.
• Outdoor Pollution: Pollution from vehicles, industry, and nearby sources can infiltrate indoor spaces, especially in urban areas or near busy roads.

Ensuring good IAQ requires a comprehensive approach that includes proper ventilation, effective air filtration, precise humidity control, and regular maintenance of HVAC systems. These elements are essential for maintaining a healthy and comfortable indoor environment, crucial for the well-being of everyone in the home. 

Nick’s Air Conditioning offers advanced solutions through our Platinum IAQ systems, designed to enhance IAQ by providing cleaner and healthier air. Trust Nick’s expertise to address your IAQ concerns effectively, ensuring a safer and more comfortable living environment for you and your family.

What is Platinum IAQ™? 

Platinum IAQ™ includes a range of products to enhance indoor air quality by purifying air circulated through your central HVAC system. These systems not only cleanse the air but also boost the efficiency and lifespan of your HVAC system by preventing mold accumulation.

Not all central air systems are alike; fortunately, a Platinum IAQ system fits them all. Consider a Platinum UV for essential HVAC disinfection. For comprehensive disinfection plus ozone-free VOC/odor control, choose a Platinum Carbon System.

How Do Platinum IAQ Systems Work?

Platinum IAQ™ effectively disintegrates captured contaminants, leaving only harmless water vapor and CO₂ to be released into the air. This process leaves the carbon cells clean, so they never fill up or need to be replaced. The result is clean, odor-free air throughout the home.

The unique combination of UVC light and activated carbon in Platinum Carbon makes it more effective than nearly all other air purifiers. Platinum Carbon uses an advanced UV-C/carbon air cleaning technology similar to catalytic converters used on auto engines to capture and neutralize odor-causing volatile organic compounds.

What Are The Platinum IAQ Products?

Platinum IAQ UV System

Platinum IAQ™ UV systems are engineered to significantly elevate indoor air quality through advanced UV light technology that effectively neutralizes harmful contaminants. These systems utilize powerful ultraviolet (UV) light to target and disintegrate pollutants such as bacteria, viruses, mold spores, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). 

The UV light acts as a sterilizing agent, disrupting the DNA structure of microorganisms to prevent their reproduction and render them inert. This approach helps ensure a fresh and clean environment throughout your home by eliminating airborne pathogens and allergens, contributing to a healthier indoor environment.

Platinum IAQ UV System Benefits

• 99.9% Sterilization of AC coil & drain pan.
• Improves the indoor air quality in your home.
• Kills biological growth, bacteria, and viruses.
• Reduces system maintenance.
• Reduces “dirty sock syndrome.”

Platinum UV System with Photocatalytic Oxidation (PCO)

Among the first of its kind, the Platinum PCO air purifier system features an award-winning design that delivers Photocatalytic Oxidation purification within the HVAC system. 

Platinum Carbon cleans the air by combining UVC light and activated carbon, two technologies proven most effective at killing germs and removing odors by reducing chemical vapors known as volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Some of them, like formaldehyde and acetone, are known to be toxic.

Platinum Carbon detoxes the air with photocatalytic oxidation (a technology similar to the catalytic converter on your car’s exhaust). UV light reacts with titanium dioxide infused into the carbon, effectively disintegrating the captured contaminants, leaving only harmless water vapor and CO₂ released back into the air. Because the UV-C light in Platinum Carbon is positioned where it is, it can disinfect the coils, air system interior, and air stream.

This process leaves the carbon cells clean, so they never fill up or need to be replaced. The result is clean, odor-free air throughout the home. 

Platinum IAQ  is the first to offer a lifetime warranty as a quality American-made air purifier system.

Platinum IAQ UV with POC Carbon Cell System Benefits

• Whole-house air purification.
• Neutralizes odors & toxic VOCs.

You can add odor-fighting and toxic VOC-fighting benefits to an existing Platinum UV system. The Upgrade Kit fits onto your previously installed Platinum UV germicidal UV light system and requires no additional wiring or electrical connections. It uses a magnetic mounting plate and the existing Platinum UV power supply.

How Are Platinum IAQ Systems Installed in My HVAC System? 

Installing Platinum IAQ UV and carbon systems into your HVAC setup is a relatively simple process to provide optimal performance and improve air quality. For Platinum UV systems, strategically positioned UV-C lamps are installed within the air handling unit. These lamps emit ultraviolet light that neutralizes airborne pathogens and prevents microbial growth on the HVAC system’s evaporator coil and interior surfaces. 

Platinum IAQ carbon systems integrate activated carbon filtration alongside UV-C technology, such as Platinum IAQ UV with Carbon POC. The carbon filtration media is incorporated into the existing ductwork or air handling unit during installation. As air passes, the activated carbon effectively absorbs and traps volatile organic compounds (VOCs), odors, and other airborne contaminants. 

The UV-C lamps within the system complement this filtration by continuously sterilizing the captured particles and preventing microbial growth. This dual-action approach ensures that your indoor air is thoroughly cleansed of pollutants, providing a healthier and more comfortable environment for your home.
