New from RGF....

This is a video explaining RGF's Microcon® whole house HEPA filtration product.... The Microcon® ‘whole home’ HEPA Air Filtration system is easily installed in your home’s HVAC or air handling system to provide 99.97% airborne particulate reduction without impacting air flow, static pressure or unit sizing. This whisper quiet air filtration system is extremely efficient for dust, pet dander, pollen and VOC removal. The  Microcon® 350 unit is recommended for areas up to 2,625sq ft.The Microcon® 675 is recommended for areas up to 5,000 sq ft.

The Microcon® whole home HEPA filter can be installed into any existing commercial or residential HVAC system to provide 99.97% airborne particulate reduction without impacting air flow, static pressure or unit sizing. Installation requires no costly electrical or mechanical alternations to the HVAC system and the unique design offers HEPA grade filtration with very low power consumption.

The 3-stage filtration cartridge is contained and protected in a durable steel box. In stage-one, a foam pre-filter captures large particulate matter. In the second stage, the HEPA filter traps more of the harmful and irritating particulate like pet dander, pollen and smoke. Finally, in the third stage, the activated carbon adsorbs chemical or gas-based pollutants.

The filters are easy to access and change. Once locked into place, the filter is completely sealed, ensuring that no polluted air escapes from the box. The baked thermostat powder finish on the box itself provides a durable, long-lasting housing that will not off-gas chemicals, providing truly clean air to the surrounding environment.

Though continuous operation is recommended for optimal indoor air quality, this unit does feature an illuminated on/off switch.


There is an optional VOC filter upgrade available for this unit.

How important is the correct filter?

If you don’t think having the right filter matters, you are wrong....

Whether it changes the static and shuts down your system, or the filter is too thin and gets stuck in your blower or extra space allows for vermin to get in - these all can impact and destroy your valuable hvac system!

Having the correct filter for your system and changing it regularly is one of the easiest things you can do as a homeowner to increase the longevity and performance of your heating and cooling system! Plus a clean filter also help for a healthy house.

Take our word for it! We sell filters for a living and was short the correct size and put in what we had. Well, that left an opening for a varmint to get in and mess up our office’s hvac equipment.

This is a great High School Idea!!!

'Signing Day' recognizes high school seniors starting jobs, not college

One school system in Virginia wanted to celebrate a different life-changing moment for the seniors who were starting careers right after graduation. In Henrico County, public school administrators held a ceremony in late March called "Career and Technical Letter-of-Intent Signing Day."

Williams Air Curtains

Williams Air Curtains are the most effective barrier available for keeping building environments free of airborne contaminants and keeping conditioned air inside where it belongs. As a crucial component of any heating or cooling system, air curtains allow for free movement of people and merchandise, while preventing the loss of conditioned air. They also prevent hot air in the summer, or cold air in the winter, from penetrating the building and disrupting the system performance and raising or lowering the standing temperature. 

In areas when clean air and hygiene are required, such as hospitals, restaurants and food prep environments, air curtains keep insects, gas fumes and other harmful airborne contaminants out, keeping people and their food safe.

Ash is bad for your HVAC System!!!

Forest Fire Ash is not just on your car....

Make sure to check your filters.... 

IMG_4376.JPG

Health experts say if you are sensitive to the smoke in the air from the wildfires or need to be outdoors for a long time, you should wear the proper mask to filter out the smoke.

But you may still be getting exposed to the smoke indoors, including inside your home and your car.

 

As a result, area HVAC service technicians are getting lots of calls to check on or change out smoke and ash clogged furnace air filters.
