FAQs
What makes your advanced air purifiers different from the standard filters already in my HVAC system?
Traditional 1-inch furnace filters capture only large dust particles. Our advanced air purifiers use multi-stage HEPA-grade media, activated carbon, and optional UV-C or bipolar ionization to remove up to 99.97 % of particles down to 0.3 µm, neutralize odors, and inactivate many viruses and bacteria as air circulates through your heating or cooling equipment. The result is far cleaner air without restricting system airflow or stressing the blower motor.
How do these systems help with Blaine’s seasonal pollen and occasional wildfire smoke?
Blaine’s tree and grass pollen peaks in spring and early summer, while smoke from regional wildfires can degrade air quality in late summer and fall. Our purifiers’ true HEPA stage traps fine pollen grains and smoke particulates, while the carbon stage adsorbs hazardous VOCs created by combustion. Because the units run whenever the fan operates, you get around-the-clock protection during the exact weeks local outdoor air is at its worst.
Will installing an air purifier or energy-recovery ventilator (ERV) raise my utility bills?
Our systems are designed for low static pressure and use high-efficiency ECM blowers or integrate with your existing variable-speed blower. The added electrical consumption is typically less than that of a 60-watt light bulb. Because ERVs reclaim up to 80 % of the heat or cooling from exhaust air, they introduce fresh outdoor air without a noticeable load on your furnace or air conditioner, often reducing overall energy costs associated with excessive air leakage.
How often will I need to replace filters, UV lamps, or ionization cells, and do you offer maintenance plans?
Most HEPA/activated carbon cartridges last 9–12 months in Blaine’s average usage conditions; pre-filters are changed every 3–6 months. UV-C lamps and bipolar ionization cells are rated for 18–24 months of continuous operation. We offer annual or semi-annual maintenance plans that include inspection, cleaning of coils and blower compartments, filter changes, lamp or cell replacements, firmware updates on smart controllers, and a full system performance report.
Can your purification and ventilation equipment be retrofit to my existing furnace or heat pump system?
Yes. We perform a detailed load calculation and duct assessment to ensure compatibility. Most air cleaners install in the return-air plenum, adding only 3–6 inches of length. ERVs tie into supply and return trunks with dedicated, insulated duct runs for outdoor air. Our NATE-certified technicians verify airflow, static pressure, and control wiring so the new components communicate seamlessly with your thermostat, zoning dampers, and any smart-home platform you already use.
Are there rebates or tax incentives for high-efficiency HVAC and air quality upgrades in Blaine?
Absolutely. Minnesota’s CenterPoint Energy and Xcel Energy offer rebates of $200–$500 for qualifying ECM motor upgrades, smart thermostats, and ENERGY STAR® high-efficiency furnaces or heat pumps. The federal Inflation Reduction Act provides a 30 % tax credit (up to $600) for advanced air cleaners that meet MERV 16 or equivalent, plus up to $2,000 for heat pump installations. We handle the paperwork and provide AHRI certificates so you can claim every available incentive.
