Trane CleanEffects™ Air Cleaner

As we head into spring, more than 50 million Americans will be suffering from allergies.  Allergies are the sixth leading cause of chronic diseases in the United States.  They are a widespread problem. 
     
Unfortunately, your home can contribute to allergy problems.  Today’s tight construction traps allergens and other airborne particles in the home.  The EPA says that airborne pollutants may be 25 to 100 times worse indoors than outside.  And we spend 90% of our time indoors!

A Trane CleanEffects™ can help.  CleanEffects is a whole-house air filtration system brought to you by a recognized industry leader.  Designed from the ground up to clean air like nothing before, Clean Effects make the air in your home feel cleaner and fresher than you thought possible.    As an accessory to matched Trane system, CleanEffects:

  • Removes up to 99.98% of allergens from filtered air. 
  • Traps particles as small as .1 micron in size.
  • Up to 100 times more effective than a standard 1” filter.
  • Can reduce your need to dust by up to 50%.
  • Has had its performance verified by leading experts at the Harvard School of Public Health.
  • Patented technology makes it as quiet as it is effective.
Clean Effects filtration can bring welcome relief to any with respiratory difficulties.  Many common allergens are small enough to bypass the body’s natural defenses and embed deep in the lungs, aggravating breathing ailments.  Since CleanEffects filters down to .1 micron (100 times smaller than a human hair), it is extremely effective at removing spores, mold, pollen, pet dander, dirt and dust, preventing them from entering your air and your lungs..

Most filtration systems work like a vacuum cleaner bag.  Small holes let air pass through, but not particles.  Unfortunately, the more dirt these systems collect, the more clogged they become.  This creates a bottleneck that reduces clean air output, robs system performance and reduces system life.  Trane CleanEffects uses a powerful, patented ifD corona field to charge incoming air, causing particles to adhere to the CleanEffects collection cells as air passes through.  Since your furnace or air handler isn’t struggling to work against a clogged filter, clean air flows freely.  No other filtration system can compare. 

Event he Trane CleanEffects collection element is ground-breaking.  Each layer is only .08 inches apart, with alternating charges, which makes for a stronger, more effective collection field.  What’s more, the Trane CleanEffects element has eight times the collection surface of a standard electronic air cleaner, so it’s vastly more efficient at providing clean air throughout your home.
