FAQs
What is a HEPA filter and why is it important for indoor air quality in Halls?
HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) filters are designed to capture at least 99.97% of airborne particles down to 0.3 microns, including dust, pollen, mold spores, pet dander, and many bacteria. In Halls, where spring pollen counts can be high and summer humidity encourages mold growth, a HEPA filter helps keep indoor air cleaner, reduces allergy symptoms, and supports overall respiratory health.
Can a HEPA filter be added to my existing heating and air conditioning system?
Yes. Most central HVAC systems in Halls homes and businesses can accommodate a dedicated HEPA filtration unit that ties into the supply or return ductwork. A licensed technician will evaluate airflow, add any needed pre-filters, and ensure your blower motor can handle the additional resistance without reducing comfort or efficiency.
How often should I replace or service a HEPA filter in the Halls area?
In a typical residential setting, HEPA cartridges last 12–18 months, while pre-filters should be inspected every 3–6 months. If you have pets, smoke indoors, or run the system continuously, plan on the shorter end of that range. Commercial sites or medical offices may require quarterly inspections. Regular maintenance ensures peak filtration and prevents strain on your HVAC equipment.
Where should the HEPA filtration unit be installed within my property?
The ideal location is in the main supply or return plenum near your air handler, where it can treat all conditioned air before it enters living or work spaces. If space is tight, a ceiling-mounted or free-standing HEPA unit can be used in high-priority areas such as bedrooms, offices, or rooms occupied by allergy sufferers.
Will adding HEPA filtration significantly increase my energy bills?
A properly sized HEPA system adds minimal pressure drop—usually less than 0.5 inches of water column—so most modern HVAC blowers can handle it without noticeable energy increases. You may see a small uptick (1-3% on average), but better indoor air quality often lets occupants set thermostats a degree or two higher in summer and lower in winter, partially offsetting the cost.
Does HEPA filtration help with allergies, asthma, or airborne viruses?
Absolutely. HEPA filters trap common allergens like pollen, dust mites, and pet dander, reducing triggers for allergies and asthma. They also capture many virus-laden droplets and aerosol particles, lowering the risk of airborne transmission when combined with good ventilation and humidity control. For added protection, some systems in Halls incorporate UV-C lights or activated carbon to neutralize microbes and remove odors.
