WHOLE-HOME COMFORT FAQs
Q: “I already use a portable air cleaner and humidifier. How is a WholeHome Comfort
Solution different?”
A: Portable devices only treat the air in the room where they’re plugged in, whereas WholeHome solutions attach to the
heating or cooling equipment and treat the air throughout the home.
Plus, portable devices typically require monthly cleaning and maintenance. WholeHome solutions are designed to last as
long as your heating and cooling equipment, and only need to be serviced every few years – making them more effective
(and cost-effective) in the long run.
Q: “I just put a new filter in my furnace. Isn’t that enough?”
A: It depends on your filter’s efficiency, or MERV, rating. MERV ratings range from 1 to 16, and a higher rating means fewer
particles and pollutants can pass through. Standard 1-inch furnace filters, which capture less than 20% of large particles,
only have a MERV rating of 1 to 4.
Honeywell’s WholeHome Air Cleaning Solutions, which capture more than 90% of large particles and up to 90% of small
particles, have MERV ratings of 11 to 16. Ask your heating or cooling pro to recommend a filter that’s right for your family’s
air quality needs.
Q: “How can I justify the expense of a WholeHome Comfort Solution?”
A: We like to think of WholeHome Comfort not in terms of cost, but as an investment in the well-being of your family, your
pets and your belongings. Plus, if there’s a comfort imbalance, your heating or cooling equipment might actually be
working harder to compensate, which can cost more in the long run.
The great thing about WholeHome Comfort Solutions is that once they’re installed, they work behind the scenes to
continuously balance and optimize your home’s comfort.
