FAQs
What is hospital-grade air filtration and how does it differ from the standard filters found in most Rogersville homes?
Hospital-grade filtration generally refers to HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) or ultra-high MERV (13–16) media that can trap at least 99.97 % of particles as small as 0.3 microns—capturing common allergens, mold spores, bacteria, and many viruses. Typical 1-inch pleated filters sold at home-improvement stores are usually MERV 6–8 and only catch larger dust particles. By installing a sealed HEPA cabinet or high-MERV media rack in the return side of your HVAC system, you gain the same level of particulate removal used in hospitals and clean rooms while maintaining safe airflow for residential equipment.
Why is advanced air filtration and ventilation especially important for homes and businesses in Rogersville, TN?
Our region experiences high pollen counts in spring, elevated humidity in summer, and increased wood-smoke particulates in winter. Those factors, combined with tight modern construction that limits natural air exchange, can lead to indoor concentrations of allergens and airborne pathogens that are two to five times higher than outdoors. Hospital-grade filtration and properly designed ventilation dilute contaminants, reduce allergy and asthma symptoms, minimize the spread of colds and flu, and create a healthier environment for families, employees, and customers in Rogersville’s climate.
How does a hospital-grade filtration unit integrate with my existing heating and air-conditioning system?
During a free on-site assessment, our NATE-certified technicians measure duct static pressure, blower capacity, and available space. We typically install a fully sealed HEPA or high-MERV media cabinet in the return plenum or create a dedicated bypass loop that draws a portion of air through the filter and returns it to the supply. Because the system is inline, it works whenever your furnace or air conditioner runs, so there is no additional fan noise or separate equipment to operate. In most cases, installation is completed in one day without altering the footprint of your indoor unit.
Will a higher-efficiency filter restrict airflow or raise my energy bills?
A correctly sized HEPA or MERV-13+ filter does add resistance, but we offset that with design adjustments such as deeper (4–5-inch) media racks, bypass configurations, or upgrading to an ECM variable-speed blower that automatically compensates for pressure changes. When engineered properly, airflow stays within manufacturer specifications, energy use remains stable, and the system may actually run less because coils and ducts stay cleaner. We verify performance after installation with static-pressure and airflow readings to ensure your comfort and efficiency are protected.
What maintenance is required and how often should I replace the filters?
Standard 1-inch filters usually need monthly replacement, but hospital-grade systems are designed for longer life: • HEPA or deep-pleat MERV-13–16 media typically last 6–12 months in average Rogersville households and 3–6 months in commercial spaces. • HEPA systems also have pre-filters that extend the main filter’s life; these are swapped every 3–6 months. • If you add UV-C lamps or an ERV, lamps are changed annually and ERV cores are cleaned every 6–12 months. Our Comfort Club plans include biannual visits where we inspect, document pressure drop, and replace all filtration components so you never have to remember a schedule.
How much does a hospital-grade filtration and ventilation upgrade cost, and are rebates or financing available in Rogersville?
A turnkey installation for a single HVAC system usually ranges from $950 to $2,500, depending on filter type (MERV-13 media vs. multi-stage HEPA cabinet), duct modifications, and options like UV-C lights or energy-recovery ventilators. Local utility companies such as Holston Electric Cooperative periodically offer indoor-air-quality rebates of $100–$250 for high-MERV upgrades, and TVA energy-efficiency programs may cover part of an ERV installation. We also provide 0 % APR financing for 12 months or low-interest plans up to 60 months, making it easy to spread the investment over time while enjoying cleaner, healthier air right away.
