FAQs
How do air purifiers improve indoor air quality in Cosby’s climate?
Cosby experiences high humidity in summer and increased wood-smoke particulates in winter. A whole-home air purifier connected to your HVAC captures these moisture-borne allergens, dust, and smoke particles before they circulate. By forcing air through multi-stage HEPA or electronic filters, the purifier removes up to 99.97 % of particles as small as 0.3 µm, resulting in cleaner, fresher air year-round.
What types of contaminants can your HVAC air purifiers remove?
Our systems target a broad spectrum of pollutants: pollen, mold spores, pet dander, household dust, wildfire or wood-burning smoke, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from cleaning supplies or new furniture, and even certain bacteria and viruses. Units equipped with activated-carbon modules adsorb odors and gases, while optional UV-C lights neutralize microorganisms on the coil and inside the cabinet.
How often should I replace filters or service the air-purification and ventilation equipment?
Standard pleated filters typically need replacement every 90 days, but HEPA or carbon cartridges may last 6–12 months depending on usage and indoor conditions. We recommend a professional HVAC tune-up twice a year—before the cooling and heating seasons—to clean coils, inspect the blower, check UV lamps, and verify air-flow balance so the purifier works at peak efficiency.
Can your air-quality upgrades integrate with older HVAC systems common in Cosby homes?
Yes. We routinely retrofit inline purifiers, energy-recovery ventilators (ERVs), and UV lamps onto existing furnaces or heat pumps. Our technicians perform an airflow analysis to ensure the added static pressure won’t strain the blower motor and will advise on any duct modifications necessary to meet manufacturer specifications and local building codes.
Will running an air purifier and ERV increase my utility bills?
A modern air purifier adds only 25–50 watts when the HVAC fan is on—comparable to a light bulb—while an ERV’s efficient brushless motor averages 40–60 watts. Because ERVs transfer heat and humidity between incoming and outgoing air streams, they actually reduce the load on your heating and cooling equipment, often offsetting their own electrical consumption.
Do air purifiers help reduce the spread of COVID-19 and other airborne illnesses indoors?
While no single device can eliminate risk completely, HEPA-grade filtration captures the aerosol particles that commonly carry viruses. When combined with proper ventilation, humidity control (40–60 %), and routine cleaning, a whole-home purifier significantly lowers the concentration of infectious particles in your living spaces, complementing CDC-recommended practices such as masking and hand hygiene.
