Breathe Easy with Our
Humidifiers & Air Cleaners In Centennial
& Denver Metro Area

Many homeowners are surprised to learn that the air inside a modern, energy-efficient home can be substantially dirtier than the air outside. In the Denver Metro area, this is compounded by seasonal wildfire smoke, high pollen counts, and dry air that promotes dust circulation.

Common indoor pollutants include:

• Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs): Off-gassing from carpets, paint, and cleaning supplies.
• Biological Growth: Mold spores that thrive in HVAC coils.
• Particulate Matter: Micro-dust that standard fiberglass filters miss.

An effective system doesn't just protect your health; it keeps your furnace blower motor and A/C coils cleaner, which significantly prolongs the life of your heating and cooling equipment.

Yes. Hytek Air Systems installs the iWave-R because it is lab-tested and proven to reduce specific viruses and bacteria. When ions contact pathogens, they remove hydrogen from the protein coat, rendering them inactive.

Specific Lab Results for iWave Technology:

• SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19): 99.4% rate of reduction within 30 minutes.
• Human Influenza A & B: Significantly reduced in controlled testing.
• Staph & MRSA: Aggressively neutralized on surfaces.

Unlike passive filters that wait for a virus to be sucked into a return vent, the iWave releases billions of ions into the living space, actively treating the air you breathe in your kitchen, bedrooms, and living areas.

Absolutely. One of the primary benefits of the Electrostatic Filter + iWave combination is the removal of "micro-triggers" that cause asthma attacks. The iWave causes small particles to agglomerate (clump together), making them large enough for the filter to catch.

Our system addresses this in two ways:

1. Agglomeration: The ions bond to dust and dander, making them heavier. This causes them to drop out of the "breathing zone" (the air around your face) and get pulled into the return air vent more easily.
2. Static Capture: The electrostatic filter uses a static charge to act like a magnet. While a paper filter works like a sieve (blocking things based on size), our filter actively grabs particles, preventing them from recirculating.

No. The iWave-R is certified UL 2998 Ozone-Free. This is a critical distinction. Older technologies (like standard UV lights or old ionizers) often produced ozone as a byproduct, which can irritate lungs.

Hytek Air Systems only installs technology that is safe for families and pets. The iWave-R uses advanced Needle-Point Bi-Polar Ionization (NPBI). This technology creates equal amounts of positive and negative ions without creating a high-voltage arc that generates ozone. It is safe to run 24/7 in homes with infants or the elderly.

Think of a paper filter like a screen door—it only stops things larger than the holes. An Electrostatic Filter works like a magnet. As air passes through the specialized mesh, it generates a safe static charge that attracts dust, smoke, and pollen particles.

Key Technical Advantages:

• No Airflow Restriction: High-MERV paper filters (like MERV 13+) are great at filtering but terrible for airflow. They can "choke" your furnace, leading to overheating or frozen A/C coils. Our electrostatic filters maintain high airflow while still capturing small particles.
• Multi-Stage Filtration: The filter frame contains multiple layers of media. The outer layers catch big debris (hair, lint), while the inner charged layers catch microscopic irritants.
• Permanent Durability: The frame is aluminum (rust-proof) and the media is designed to last the life of your HVAC system.

You should clean your electrostatic filter every 1 to 3 months, depending on how many pets you have. The process takes less than 5 minutes and requires no special tools.

1. Remove: Slide the filter out of the furnace rack.
2. Rinse: Take it outside (hose) or use a bathtub/sink. Rinse it thoroughly with water in the opposite direction of airflow (back to front) to push the dust out.
3. Dry: Shake off excess water. Let it air dry for 15-30 minutes. (It does not need to be bone dry, but shouldn't be dripping).
4. Reinstall: Slide it back in. That's it!

Tip: If you have active dogs or cats (like Golden Retrievers or Shepherds), we recommend checking it monthly.

Yes. The average homeowner spends between $20 and $40 per month on high-quality disposable filters (MERV 11 or higher). That is $240 to $480 per year thrown in the trash.

The Math:

• Disposable Cost (5 Years): ~$1,200 - $2,000.
• Hytek System Cost (5 Years): $0 (after initial install).

Beyond filter costs, there are energy savings. A clogged paper filter forces your blower motor to work harder, increasing your electric bill and risking a $600+ motor repair. The low-resistance design of our electrostatic filter keeps your system running efficiently, potentially lowering your monthly Xcel Energy bill.

Wildfire smoke contains fine particulate matter (PM2.5) that is notoriously difficult to filter out. Standard systems often fail to stop the "campfire smell" from entering the home.

The iWave technology is particularly effective here because it breaks down odors and VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) at a molecular level. It doesn't just trap the smoke particle; it neutralizes the chemical compounds causing the odor. When combined with the electrostatic filter, this system provides a robust defense during Colorado's fire season.
