FAQs
What advantages does a whole-home air purifier offer over portable room purifiers?
A whole-home air purifier is installed in the supply or return plenum of your HVAC system, so every cubic foot of air that passes through your furnace or air-handler is treated. This means it cleans the air in every room simultaneously, instead of just one area. You get uniform removal of dust, pollen, pet dander, mold spores, and many airborne viruses. Because it is tied into the HVAC blower, the system runs quietly out of sight, requires only one set of filters, and frees up floor space that multiple portable units would occupy.
How is a whole-home air purifier installed in my Estill Springs home?
Our technicians mount the purification cabinet in the existing ductwork—usually at the return-air side—so it works with your current heating and cooling equipment. Installation typically takes half a day, involves minimal disruption, and does not require structural changes to your home. We seal the unit to prevent bypass air, connect it to 24-volt or 120-volt power as required, and verify airflow with your blower fan. After installation, we test the pressure drop and educate you on filter replacement and system operation.
What indoor pollutants will the system remove, and will I still need to change filters regularly?
Depending on the model you choose (media, electronic, or UV-enhanced), the purifier can capture 97–99.97 % of particles down to 0.3 microns—including household dust, Tennessee pollen, pet dander, smoke particles, and many bacteria or virus-sized aerosols. Carbon or photocatalytic options also neutralize odors and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Yes, filters still need attention: high-efficiency media cartridges usually last 6–12 months, while electronic collector plates should be washed every 1–3 months. UV lamps are replaced annually to maintain germicidal strength.
Will adding an air purification unit raise my energy bills?
The pressure drop of a properly sized purifier is comparable to that of a standard HVAC filter, so any impact on blower power usage is minor—typically less than 1–2 %. Because the system can keep coils and ductwork cleaner, it may actually improve HVAC efficiency over time. Many Estill Springs homeowners see no noticeable change on their utility bills, and some report lower maintenance costs thanks to reduced dust accumulation in equipment.
How often should the system be serviced, and do you provide maintenance?
An annual check-up is recommended. During this visit our NATE-certified technicians inspect the cabinet seals, measure airflow, replace or clean filters, and test UV or electronic components. We also coordinate this appointment with your regular HVAC tune-up, so you get complete ventilation, heating, and cooling service in one trip. If you enroll in our Comfort Club, you receive automatic reminders, priority scheduling, and discounts on replacement filters and lamps.
Is a whole-home air purifier worth it for allergies or respiratory issues in the Estill Springs climate?
Yes. Franklin County’s spring pollen season is intense, and our warm, humid summers encourage mold growth. A whole-home purifier continuously removes these allergens, helping reduce flare-ups of asthma, COPD, and seasonal allergies. Many clients notice fewer symptoms, better sleep, and less dusting required around the house within weeks of installation. When combined with proper ventilation and humidity control, it creates a cleaner, healthier indoor environment year-round.
