FAQs
Why are whole-house air purifiers especially beneficial for homes in the Dayton area?
Dayton’s four-season climate means homes are sealed tight in winter for heating efficiency and closed again during humid summers for A/C comfort. This traps dust, pollen, pet dander, and seasonal pollutants indoors. A whole-house air purifier treats every cubic foot of air that passes through your HVAC system, continuously removing contaminants so you enjoy cleaner, healthier air year-round without relying on multiple portable units.
What air-cleaning technologies do you offer and how do they differ?
We install media filters (high-MERV pleated filters that capture fine dust and allergens), electronic air cleaners (ionize particles so they stick to collector plates), and UV-C/photocatalytic systems (neutralize bacteria, viruses, and odors). Media filters excel at removing solid particulates, electronic units capture smoke-sized particles, and UV-C lights target biological growth in the airflow and on the coil. We often combine technologies to tailor performance to each Dayton household’s needs and sensitivities.
How is a whole-house air purifier integrated with my existing heating and cooling equipment?
The purifier housing is installed in the return-air plenum—typically between the return duct and the furnace or air handler—so every bit of air the system circulates is treated before entering the supply ducts. The install usually takes half a day, requires no major modifications to ductwork, and works automatically whenever the blower runs. Controls can be tied into your thermostat or into a dedicated smart panel for continuous or on-demand operation.
What maintenance is required and how often?
Maintenance is straightforward: high-efficiency media filters generally need replacement every 6–12 months; some thick-cell models last up to a year. Electronic air cleaners require washing the collector cells every 2–3 months. UV-C lamps lose intensity over time and should be replaced annually. During our regular HVAC tune-up visits, we inspect and service the purifier to ensure peak performance, saving you an extra appointment.
Will adding an air purifier raise my utility bills?
Most whole-house purifiers add negligible electrical load—often less than a 40-watt light bulb for UV systems. Media filter units have no power draw at all. Because cleaner coils and ductwork allow air to flow more freely, many customers see no noticeable change in energy costs, and some report slightly lower bills after installation due to improved HVAC efficiency.
Can a whole-house purifier help with odors, allergens, and airborne viruses?
Yes. High-MERV media and electronic filters remove up to 99% of allergens like pollen and pet dander. Activated-carbon inserts capture common household and cooking odors. UV-C and photocatalytic add-ons inactivate bacteria, mold spores, and many viruses, including influenza and coronaviruses, as air passes through. The result is cleaner, fresher air throughout the entire home, not just in one room.
