FAQs
What makes your air purifiers “hospital-grade,” and why is that important for homes and businesses in Friendsville?
Hospital-grade air purifiers use true HEPA H13 or higher filtration, capable of trapping at least 99.97 % of particles down to 0.3 microns, along with activated carbon beds and optional medical-grade UV-C or photocatalytic disinfection. This multi-stage approach removes fine dust, pollen, mold spores, bacteria, and many viruses that standard HVAC filters miss, giving residents and patients in Friendsville cleaner, healthier air that meets or exceeds healthcare facility standards.
Can the hospital-grade purifier be integrated into my existing heating and air-conditioning system, or is it a separate unit?
We offer both in-duct and stand-alone options. In-duct models are installed in your supply or return plenum so every cubic foot of air passing through the furnace or heat pump is purified before it circulates. Stand-alone units roll into individual rooms and plug into a standard outlet. During your site visit, our technicians will measure airflow, duct size, and load requirements to recommend the best configuration for your Friendsville home or clinic.
Which indoor pollutants do your systems target, and how do they affect my health?
Our hospital-grade solutions address a full spectrum of contaminants: • Particulate matter (PM2.5/PM10) – dust, smoke, pet dander, and pollen that aggravate asthma and allergies. • Biologicals – mold spores, bacteria, and certain viruses, reducing infection risk. • Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) – off-gassed chemicals from furniture, paint, and cleaning products that can cause headaches and respiratory irritation. • Odors – cooking, tobacco, and pet smells. By removing these pollutants, occupants experience fewer respiratory symptoms, better sleep quality, and improved overall wellness.
How often will I need to replace filters or UV bulbs, and what maintenance is involved?
Filter life depends on air quality and run time, but typical intervals are: • Pre-filters: every 3–6 months • HEPA cartridges: every 12–24 months • Activated carbon modules: every 6–12 months • UV-C lamps: annually Our maintenance plans include reminder alerts, discounted replacement media, and professional service visits, ensuring your system continues to perform to hospital-grade standards without guesswork.
What does the installation process look like for Friendsville customers, and how long will my HVAC system be offline?
A typical in-duct installation takes 3–5 hours. We arrive with pre-fabricated fittings, cut a small access point in the duct, seal the purifier housing with mastic, and verify airflow with calibrated instruments. Your HVAC system is powered down only during the final electrical tie-in, usually less than 30 minutes. Stand-alone units require no downtime—simply place them, plug in, and they’re operational.
Will adding a hospital-grade air purifier increase my energy bills?
Our in-duct purifiers use high-efficiency EC blowers that add as little as 10–30 watts to your system—comparable to a standard light bulb. Most customers notice less than a 2 % change in monthly energy costs. Because cleaner coils and ductwork reduce overall HVAC strain, some homeowners actually see a net decrease in utility usage over time.
