FAQs
What pollutants can a whole-house air purifier in Bluff City remove?
Modern whole-house air purifiers trap or neutralize common indoor contaminants such as dust, pollen, pet dander, mold spores, smoke particles, chemical vapors (VOCs), and many bacteria and viruses. Because the system treats the entire air stream that passes through your HVAC equipment, every room in your home benefits—not just the area around a portable unit.
How is a whole-house air purifier installed with my existing heating and cooling system?
Our technicians place the purification unit inside the supply or return plenum of your central HVAC system, where all conditioned air must pass. The purifier is hard-wired to operate whenever the blower runs, so no separate power source or floor space is required. Most installations take half a day and do not require duct replacement, making it a seamless upgrade for homes throughout Bluff City.
Will running an air purifier raise my energy bills?
Because whole-house purifiers rely on the HVAC blower you already use for heating and cooling, they add very little electrical load—typically less than a 60-watt light bulb. By keeping coils and ductwork cleaner, they may even improve system efficiency. The net annual operating cost for most Bluff City homeowners is only a few dollars.
How often do filters or UV lamps need service?
For media-based purifiers, expect to replace the filter cartridge every 6–12 months, depending on local dust levels and pet activity. High-efficiency HEPA cabinets may last up to two years. UV-C germicidal lamps normally last 9,000–10,000 hours (about one year of continuous HVAC operation) and simply twist out for replacement. During your twice-yearly HVAC maintenance visits, we inspect and change these components for you.
Are whole-house purifiers effective against seasonal allergies and viruses common in Northeast Tennessee?
Yes. Certified MERV-13 to HEPA filters capture ragweed pollen, grass pollens, and mold spores that peak in Bluff City’s humid summers, while UV-C or photocatalytic units inactivate up to 99.9 % of airborne viruses and bacteria. Independent lab tests confirm reductions in influenza, RSV, and coronavirus aerosols when systems are sized and maintained properly.
Can I add a whole-house air purifier to an older HVAC system, and are rebates available in Bluff City?
Most furnaces, air handlers, and heat pumps from the last 20 years have sufficient cabinet space and blower capacity to accept an add-on purifier. We’ll perform a quick static-pressure test to ensure compatibility before installation. TVA’s EnergyRight program and some local utilities occasionally offer incentives for indoor air quality upgrades; we’ll guide you through current rebate forms and handle the paperwork to maximize your savings.
