FAQs
What makes your hospital-grade air purifiers different from standard residential air cleaners?
Our systems use true medical-grade HEPA H13 or H14 filters that capture 99.97 % of particles down to 0.3 microns, plus activated carbon for gases and an enclosed UV-C chamber that deactivates viruses, mold, and bacteria. All components are independently tested to meet or exceed ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 52.2 and ISO 29463, the same performance benchmarks required in Tennessee hospitals. Standard residential units typically rely on lower-efficiency MERV 8–11 filters and lack germicidal features, so they cannot achieve the same level of protection.
How will the purifier integrate with my existing heating and air-conditioning system in my Collegedale home?
We install the purifier cabinet in the return-air plenum of your current ductwork, so the entire air stream is treated every time the HVAC fan runs. Because the cabinet is only 8–10 inches deep and has a low pressure drop, most systems need no blower upgrade or major duct modifications. For homes without central air, we offer stand-alone units that plug into a standard 120-V outlet and can be moved room to room.
What indoor contaminants will the system remove, and how quickly will I notice a difference?
Within the first 24 hours you can expect a marked reduction in pollen, pet dander, and dust mite debris—common triggers for allergies and asthma. Over the next few days, carbon media will adsorb lingering cooking odors, tobacco smoke, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from cleaning supplies or new furnishings. Continuous UV-C exposure helps keep microbial counts low on coils and in the airstream, lowering the risk of airborne transmission of colds, flu, and other pathogens.
How much maintenance is required, and can you handle it for me?
A prefilter should be vacuumed or replaced every 3 months; the HEPA cartridge lasts 12–18 months depending on usage, and the activated carbon module about 6 months. UV lamps operate 9,000–10,000 hours (roughly one year of continuous use) before output declines. We offer affordable maintenance plans that include scheduled reminders, filter changes, lamp replacement, system sanitization, and performance testing—so you never have to keep track of dates or part numbers.
Will running a hospital-grade purifier increase my energy bills?
Our units are engineered for low resistance to airflow and use high-efficiency EC (electronically commutated) motors. On average, operating costs add only 3–5 % to your monthly HVAC electricity use—about the same as running a ceiling fan. In many Collegedale homes the energy impact is offset by reduced need for HVAC coil cleaning and by allowing lower fan speeds because the air is cleaner.
Do you offer warranties, rebates, or financing for Collegedale residents?
Yes. Every purifier comes with a 5-year parts warranty and a 10-year cabinet warranty when installed by our factory-certified technicians. We partner with the TVA EnergyRight® program, which currently offers up to a $200 rebate for qualifying high-efficiency IAQ upgrades, and we can process the paperwork for you. Interest-free financing for 12 or 24 months is also available on approved credit, letting you spread the investment over manageable payments.
