There are a lot of products that claim to really clean your indoor air, but how do you know which ones really work?

Comparing the clean air delivery rate is a great place to start. The clean air delivery rate is the amount of clean air a system will deliver into your home for a typical 3-ton system as compared to other whole-house and appliance air cleaners. Two factors affect this rating—the efficiency of the filter material and the amount of air that passes through the device. This standard has been recognized by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as a fair and objective comparison of various air cleaning technologies.
TRANE CleanEffects™ — the world's most effective home air filtration system
Take a look at the following graph and you'll see that TRANE CleanEffects delivers 8 times the amount of clean air as the typical room HEPA appliance, and 100 times the amount delivered by an ionic-type room appliance or a standard 1" filter, the kind found in 85% of homes.
Clean air is just the beginning
TRANE CleanEffects not only provides everyone in your home with the clean air they need, it does not intrude into your living space. It is installed as part of your heating and air conditioning system, not a standalone appliance that is noisy, unsightly and takes up space in individual rooms. TRANE CleanEffects, working in conjunction with your heating and cooling system, does not require a separate fan to filter the air in your home. This provides you with quiet and efficient operation, and clean air throughout the whole house.

Other benefits include:
• Minimal cleaning.
• Indicators on the unit that tell you when it needs routine cleaning,
  which is as easy as vacuuming or rinsing after 3 to 9 months
  (depending on usage).
• Innovative materials increase filter efficiency by increasing the filter
  surface areas without blocking the air flowing through your system.
• Easy installation.
• Minimal ozone generated, less than 5 PPB (parts per billion), well
  below the 10 PPB FDA voluntary emission limit for medical
  devices and significantly below some ionic-type room appliances
  that may reach hundreds of PPBs.

When comparing air cleaners of any kind ask your dealer or retailer for the clean air delivery rate for that type air cleaner, and then compare it to the rating for TRANE CleanEffects. You’ll filter more of the air in your home more efficiently than you ever thought possible.
