FAQs
What is a HEPA filter and how does it improve indoor air quality in Harrison homes?
A High-Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filter is a dense, pleated media capable of capturing at least 99.97 % of airborne particles down to 0.3 microns—including dust, pollen, mold spores, pet dander, and some bacteria. When integrated with your heating and air-conditioning system, a HEPA filter continuously cleans the air that circulates throughout your home. This is especially beneficial in Harrison, where seasonal pollen and humidity can aggravate allergies and asthma. By removing microscopic irritants, a HEPA filter promotes cleaner, healthier air and reduces unpleasant odors.
How often should I replace or clean my HEPA filter in my HVAC system?
Usage, indoor air quality, and local environmental factors determine replacement intervals, but most residential HEPA filters last 12 to 24 months. In Harrison, spring and fall pollen spikes and humid summers can clog filters more quickly, so we recommend inspections every 6 months and replacement at least once a year. If you have pets, smokers, or ongoing construction nearby, check the filter quarterly. Always follow the manufacturer’s specifications and consult our technicians if you notice reduced airflow or increasing allergy symptoms.
Can a HEPA filtration system be retrofitted into my existing heating and air-conditioning setup?
Yes. Most modern HVAC systems can accommodate a standalone HEPA bypass unit or an in-line HEPA filter cabinet. Our Harrison-based technicians evaluate your current ductwork, blower capacity, and static pressure to ensure compatibility. If your blower motor cannot handle the added resistance, we may recommend a variable-speed upgrade or an external HEPA bypass unit that purifies a portion of the air stream without overloading the system.
How does Harrison’s climate and pollen levels influence my ventilation and filtration choices?
Harrison experiences humid summers, chilly winters, and significant tree and grass pollen in spring and fall. High humidity can foster mold, while fluctuating temperatures encourage frequent system cycling. We often pair HEPA filtration with whole-house dehumidifiers and energy-recovery ventilators (ERVs) to balance fresh-air intake with moisture control. This tailored approach combats mold, allergens, and stale indoor air while maintaining comfort and energy efficiency.
Will a HEPA filter raise my energy bills or strain my HVAC equipment?
A properly sized and installed HEPA system adds minimal static pressure, so energy use typically rises by only 2 – 5 %. To offset this, many homeowners choose high-efficiency ECM or variable-speed blower motors, which adapt to the added resistance and often reduce overall energy consumption. Routine filter changes and professional maintenance ensure the system runs smoothly without excessive wear on fans or compressors.
What maintenance and professional services do you offer in Harrison to keep ventilation and air-quality systems running optimally?
We provide comprehensive services, including: (1) HEPA filter inspection and replacement; (2) duct cleaning and sealing to prevent bypass leakage; (3) blower and coil cleaning to maintain airflow; (4) humidity control checks for dehumidifiers/ERVs; and (5) indoor-air-quality testing for allergens, VOCs, and carbon monoxide. Our maintenance plans include biannual visits timed for Harrison’s peak allergy seasons, ensuring your ventilation and filtration systems operate at peak performance year-round.
