FAQs
What makes a hospital-grade HEPA filtration system different from a standard residential air filter?
Hospital-grade HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) filters are certified to capture at least 99.97 % of particles as small as 0.3 microns—including bacteria, mold spores, pollen, smoke, and many viruses. Conventional 1-inch fiberglass or pleated filters used in most Georgetown homes typically capture only 10–60 % of particles 3 microns and larger. A hospital-grade unit is constructed with denser media, airtight gaskets, and a steel or aluminum frame to prevent bypass, ensuring true medical-level contaminant removal throughout your HVAC system.
Can a hospital-grade HEPA filter be retrofitted into my existing heating and air-conditioning system?
In most cases, yes. We install a dedicated HEPA filtration box in the return-air or supply-air plenum, interfacing with your current ductwork. Because HEPA media creates higher resistance to airflow, we first perform a static-pressure test and may recommend a variable-speed blower upgrade or booster fan to maintain proper air volume. The retrofit takes 2–4 hours and does not usually require modifying the furnace or outdoor condenser.
How does improved air filtration affect indoor air quality and health in Georgetown’s climate?
Central Texas experiences high pollen counts, dust, wildfire smoke, and long cooling seasons that keep windows closed. Hospital-grade HEPA filtration continuously removes airborne allergens and fine particulates, reducing asthma triggers, allergy symptoms, and the spread of airborne viruses. Many Georgetown clients report fewer respiratory flare-ups, better sleep, and less visible dust on furniture within the first week of operation.
What maintenance is required for a hospital-grade HEPA system and how often should filters be replaced?
The primary HEPA cartridge typically lasts 12–24 months in a Georgetown home, depending on occupancy, pets, and outdoor air quality. A pre-filter and activated-carbon post-filter (if installed) should be changed every 3–6 months to protect the HEPA media and control odors. Maintenance involves unlatching the filter housing, sliding out the old filter, inserting the new one with the airflow arrow aligned, and resealing the door. We offer reminder emails and discounted filter subscription plans.
Will a HEPA filtration upgrade increase my energy bills?
A properly sized and installed HEPA system has minimal impact on energy consumption. The blower may run at a slightly higher speed to overcome added resistance, but variable-speed motors adjust efficiently. On average, Georgetown homeowners see less than a 1–3 % rise in electricity use—often offset by health-related savings such as fewer doctor visits and reduced medication for allergies and asthma.
What is the cost of installing a hospital-grade HEPA filtration system in Georgetown, and are there any incentives?
Pricing depends on system size and required duct modifications, but most residential installations range from $1,200 to $2,400, including the first set of filters. Georgetown utility customers may qualify for efficiency rebates if a variable-speed blower upgrade is included. In addition, flexible spending and HSA accounts often reimburse medical-grade air purification expenses with a physician’s note. We provide written quotes, financing options, and guidance on available local and federal incentives.
