FAQs
What makes a hospital-grade air purifier different from a standard residential model?
Hospital-grade units meet higher filtration and construction standards. They use true HEPA H13 or H14 media that capture 99.95–99.995 % of particles down to 0.1 µm, plus medical-grade activated carbon to adsorb gases and odors. Many models add UV-C, photocatalytic oxidation, or bipolar ionization to deactivate viruses and bacteria. They are also sealed to prevent bypass air, tested for clean air delivery rate (CADR), and certified to comply with ANSI/AHAM or ISO airflow and pathogen-reduction protocols.
Can a hospital-grade air purifier be integrated into my existing HVAC system in Bean Station?
Yes. We offer both portable units and in-duct systems. In-duct purifiers mount in the supply plenum and treat the air after it leaves your furnace or heat pump, so every room benefits. Our technicians inspect your ductwork, calculate static-pressure impact, and choose a unit sized for your system’s CFM. Installation usually takes 1–2 hours and does not require structural changes. For homes without central air, portable medical-grade purifiers provide room-by-room protection.
What contaminants will the purifier remove, and how does that improve indoor air quality?
The multi-stage filtration captures airborne viruses, bacteria, mold spores, pollen, fine dust, wildfire smoke, and pet dander. Activated carbon removes volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted by paints, cleaning products, and new furnishings, as well as cooking and tobacco odors. UV-C or PCO technology disrupts microorganism DNA, preventing replication. The net effect is fewer allergy and asthma triggers, lower risk of respiratory infections, and a cleaner, fresher-smelling home environment.
How often do filters need to be replaced and what maintenance is required?
HEPA cartridges typically last 12–18 months in a residential setting, while pre-filters should be vacuumed or replaced every 3–6 months to keep airflow high. Carbon canisters last 6–12 months, depending on VOC levels and cooking habits. UV-C lamps are changed annually. Our maintenance plan includes reminder alerts, discounted filters, and an annual performance test with a calibrated particle counter so you know the system is still achieving medical-grade removal rates.
Are hospital-grade air purifiers energy-efficient, and will they raise my heating and cooling bills?
Modern units use ECM (electronically commutated) blower motors that adjust speed to maintain target airflow with as little as 30–80 watts—about the same as a light bulb. In-duct models add only 0.1–0.2 inches of static pressure, so your HVAC fan works minimally harder. UV-C lamps draw roughly 18–25 watts. In most homes the annual electricity cost is $25–$40, and there is no measurable impact on heating or cooling efficiency.
Do I need professional installation and are there local codes I should know about in Bean Station?
Professional installation is recommended to ensure airtight duct connections, correct electrical wiring, and compliance with the National Electrical Code and the Tennessee Mechanical Code adopted by Grainger County. Our licensed technicians pull any required electrical permits, verify that the added load is on a dedicated 120 V or 24 V circuit, and supply a manufacturer’s commissioning report. Proper documentation may also help you qualify for utility rebates or FSA/HSA reimbursement for medically necessary air purification systems.
