Also, anyone have any experience with one of these bad boys or a good contractor? I can't seem to get a installer to respond to me for pricing and info. Tried x 2 and both connected me to someone new to the gig and was quoting only AC. It seems like it is the same as a MERV 16 filter (the replacement kit appears to actually have the same MERV filter I use for when the smoke comes in) with the added bonus of "reducing ozone", not sure what else it does.

Lennox is useless, they keep referring me to installers for questions about specs on their product.
I was looking at random pollutions today, like Ozone (BC has an air quality warning because of it) and was thinking I could make the air in my home cleaner, which I spend a great deal of time in, it could have health benefits to me and the future youngins. Calgary 1 hour ozone levels have come 'close' to hitting the AB health warning trigger, and its odd, when they do cross the trigger, our air quality index jumps to a 7 , high or very high, there is no "in between". I figure there might be health impacts for lower levels not correlated, and while I still go outside as much as I want, still useful to clear out of my home.
Trigger for ozone is 76ppb for the hour and we got to 56 yesterday. I don't know if 56 is "Bad" as the science on this is not really conclusive from my 5min google.
Anyway, ozone links for people who find it interesting
Alberta paper on why we have chosen our Ozone safe level as an hourly rate of 76ppb:

Alberta write up on how air quality calc works- basically once ozone (and others) hits a threshold, we jump to a minimum of 7... seems like a sharp quick jump
