FAQs
What types of pollutants can a whole-home air purifier in Decherd remove?
Modern whole-home air purification systems attach to your HVAC ductwork and continuously scrub every cubic foot of air that passes through. High-efficiency filters and optional UV-C or photocatalytic modules capture or neutralize fine dust, pollen, pet dander, mold spores, smoke particles, bacteria, and airborne viruses, as well as gaseous contaminants such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and odors. This provides a far broader level of protection than portable room purifiers, which treat only the air in a single space.
Will installing a whole-home purifier affect the performance of my heating and air-conditioning system?
When sized and installed correctly by a licensed HVAC professional, whole-home purifiers are designed to complement—not hinder—your existing system. The purifier is mounted in the return-air plenum, and its low-resistance filter media keeps static pressure within manufacturer specifications. Many units employ variable-speed blowers that actually smooth airflow, improving temperature balance throughout the house. In short, you will continue to get the same heating and cooling comfort while enjoying much cleaner air.
How much maintenance is required for a whole-home purifier and ventilation setup?
Routine upkeep is straightforward. Most high-MERV or HEPA filter cartridges need replacement every 6-12 months, depending on local air quality and household factors such as pets or smoking. UV lamps usually need to be changed once every two years to maintain germicidal output. During your seasonal HVAC tune-ups, our Decherd technicians will also inspect seals, clean sensor probes, and verify fan operation, ensuring your purifier and energy-recovery ventilator (ERV) continue operating at peak efficiency.
Will a whole-home air purifier raise my energy bills?
The additional energy draw is minimal. Stand-alone purifier motors typically consume 15–60 watts—about the same as an LED lightbulb—and many models run only when your main furnace or air-handler fan is on. Because the purifier helps keep coils and ductwork cleaner, the HVAC system can actually operate more efficiently over time, offsetting part of the electricity used by the purifier itself.
Can a whole-home purifier really help with allergies and asthma?
Yes. Allergic reactions and asthma flare-ups are often triggered by particles smaller than 3 microns—well within the capture range of MERV-13 to HEPA filters. By removing allergens before they circulate into living spaces, a whole-home unit reduces exposure far more effectively than periodic vacuuming or standalone room devices. Clients in Decherd with chronic respiratory conditions frequently report fewer symptoms and reduced reliance on medication after installing these systems.
