FAQs
What does “hospital-grade” mean when referring to your air purifiers?
Hospital-grade indicates that the purification system meets or exceeds the same air-cleaning standards required in health-care facilities. Our units combine true HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) filters that capture 99.97 % of particles down to 0.3 microns with medical-grade activated carbon for gases and an optional UV-C/photocatalytic chamber that inactivates viruses and bacteria. All components are certified to ANSI/ASHRAE and ISO 16890 test protocols so homeowners and businesses in Cosby receive filtration performance comparable to that used in surgical suites and isolation rooms.
Will a hospital-grade purifier work with my current heating and air-conditioning system?
Yes. We offer both whole-house in-duct models and standalone units. For central HVAC systems, our technicians install the purifier in the return-air plenum or supply trunk, so every time your furnace or air-conditioner cycles, the air is disinfected before it reaches your rooms. The units are designed for standard 120/240 V power and add less than 0.3 in. w.g. of static pressure—well within the capacity of most residential blowers. Portable models are available for areas without ductwork, such as historic cabins common around Cosby.
Which pollutants are removed and how do you verify performance?
The multi-stage filtration removes: • fine and ultrafine dust • pollen and mold spores • wildfire smoke and soot (common during Appalachian fire season) • pet dander • volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from cleaning products and paints • airborne viruses, bacteria and allergens. Performance is verified with third-party lab reports showing 99 %+ single-pass removal of PM2.5 and >4-log (99.99 %) reduction of microbes. We can also conduct on-site IAQ testing before and after installation to provide objective improvement data.
How much maintenance is required and how often do I change filters?
Routine upkeep is simple. The pre-filter should be vacuumed or replaced every 3–6 months, depending on dust levels. The HEPA cartridge lasts 2–3 years in a typical Cosby home and up to 18 months in commercial settings. Carbon modules remain effective for 12–18 months, while UV-C lamps are rated for 9 000 hours (about one year of continuous use). The purifier’s onboard monitor alerts you when any component nears end-of-life, and our service team can include annual filter replacements in your HVAC maintenance plan.
Will running an advanced purifier increase my energy bills?
Minimal. Whole-house units draw roughly 60–90 watts—about the same as a standard light bulb—and add negligible resistance to airflow, so your blower motor does not work harder. Portable models are Energy Star® listed and use variable-speed EC motors that automatically slow down once target air quality is reached. Most customers in Cosby report an increase of less than $4–$6 per month, often offset by fewer sick days and reduced medication costs for allergy or asthma sufferers.
Who benefits most from hospital-grade air purification in Cosby?
• Families with infants, elderly parents or anyone with compromised immunity • Individuals with allergies, asthma or COPD aggravated by East Tennessee pollen and humidity • Homeowners wanting protection from seasonal wildfire smoke drifting over the Smokies • Offices, schools and rental cabins seeking to reassure occupants in a post-COVID world • Pet owners battling dander and odor issues. By continuously scrubbing the entire indoor air volume, our systems create a safer, cleaner environment for everyone who lives or works in the building.
