FAQs
What makes your hospital-grade air purifiers different from standard residential units?
Hospital-grade purifiers are engineered to meet more stringent particulate and microbial reduction standards than typical home units. Ours combine true HEPA H13 or H14 filtration (99.97% removal of particles ≥0.3 µm), activated carbon for gas and odor control, and optional UV-C or bipolar ionization to neutralize bacteria and viruses. The cabinets are all-metal to prevent off-gassing, and the blowers are sized for higher air changes per hour—critical in health-care settings and homes where allergy, asthma, or immunocompromised occupants live.
How large an area can one purifier handle, and how do I size a unit for my Loudon home or business?
Coverage depends on the Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR) and desired air changes per hour (ACH). For residential use we recommend 4–6 ACH; for medical, dental, or childcare spaces 6–12 ACH. Divide the room’s cubic volume (sq ft × ceiling height) by the unit’s airflow (CFM) × 60 to find ACH. Example: A 600 sq ft room with 8 ft ceilings = 4,800 ft³. A purifier delivering 400 CFM provides 5 ACH (400×60=24,000 ft³/hr; 24,000÷4,800=5 ACH). Our team offers free on-site sizing visits anywhere in Loudon County to ensure proper selection.
Can the purifier be integrated with my existing heating and air-conditioning system?
Yes. We offer both stand-alone portables and in-duct air purifiers that install directly into your HVAC supply or return plenum. In-duct models treat the entire conditioned space without taking up floor area and operate whenever the blower runs. A dedicated 120 V or 24 V power source and 10–16 inches of duct length are usually all that’s required. Our NATE-certified technicians will evaluate static pressure, filter rack spacing, and electrical access during a consultation to confirm compatibility.
How often do filters and UV lamps need to be replaced, and is maintenance available in Loudon?
HEPA filters typically last 12–18 months, pre-filters 3–6 months, and activated carbon cartridges 6–12 months depending on pollutant load and run time. UV-C lamps should be replaced every 9,000 operating hours (about 12 months of continuous use) to maintain germicidal intensity. We offer affordable maintenance plans for Loudon residents that include scheduled filter changes, lamp swaps, performance testing, and disposal of used components according to EPA guidelines.
Are hospital-grade purifiers noisy or energy-hungry?
Our latest models use electronically commutated (EC) motors and acoustically insulated steel enclosures. On the most common mid-speed setting, sound levels run 45–52 dB—quieter than a refrigerator. At that speed, power draw is 60–90 watts, roughly the same as a standard light bulb. When integrated with a variable-speed HVAC blower, energy use can be even lower because the purifier shares airflow with the main system.
What does a complete hospital-grade indoor air quality package cost, and are there financial incentives in Loudon?
Portable units start around $950, while whole-home or small-clinic in-duct systems (including installation) range from $2,500 to $4,800 depending on airflow, controls, and number of return drops. Annual filter and lamp costs average $180–$350. Many customers in Loudon qualify for TVA EnergyRight rebates on high-efficiency HVAC upgrades that include air purification, and businesses may deduct the entire cost under Section 179. We provide written quotes, rebate assistance, and 0% APR financing for up to 18 months.
