FAQs
Why should I invest in a whole-home air purifier instead of several portable units?
A whole-home air purifier is installed directly in your HVAC ductwork, so every cubic foot of air that passes through your furnace or air handler is treated. This means consistent filtration and purification in every room, not just where a portable device is sitting. You only maintain one set of filters instead of many, the system operates almost silently, and it is hidden from view. Over time, the lower maintenance costs and better coverage usually offset the higher initial investment, making it the most cost-effective, worry-free way to improve indoor air quality for the entire family.
How does a whole-home air purifier integrate with my existing heating and air-conditioning equipment?
Most whole-home purifiers are mounted in the return-air plenum or supply plenum of your forced-air system. When your furnace, heat pump, or central air conditioner cycles on, air is pulled through the purifier’s high-efficiency filter media, UV-C light, or electronic cell. Because it works whenever the blower runs, the purifier automatically treats the air during heating, cooling, or dedicated fan-only ventilation modes. Our technicians in Jasper will verify compatible cabinet sizes, electrical requirements, and airflow rates to ensure proper fit and performance without compromising your system’s static pressure or warranty.
What pollutants can a combined purification and ventilation system help remove?
Depending on the model you choose, a whole-home system can capture or neutralize dust, pollen, pet dander, mold spores, smoke particles, and many bacteria and viruses. Advanced units with activated carbon reduce common household odors and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) released by cleaning products, paints, and furnishings. When paired with balanced mechanical ventilation, the system also helps dilute indoor CO₂ and excess humidity, creating a fresher, healthier environment throughout your Jasper home year-round.
How often do I need to replace filters, UV lamps, or other components?
Pleated high-MERV or HEPA filters typically last 6–12 months, depending on household occupancy, pets, and local air quality. Some electronic air cleaners have washable cells that need a quick rinse every 2–3 months. UV-C lamps maintain germicidal output for about 9,000 operating hours, which is roughly one year of continual blower operation; after that, they should be replaced even if they still light up. During your annual HVAC tune-up, our technicians will inspect the purifier, note pressure drops, and recommend timely replacements to keep efficiency and air quality at their peak.
Will installing an air purification system increase my energy bills?
When sized and installed correctly, a modern whole-home purifier adds only a minimal pressure drop, so your blower motor does not work significantly harder. Many systems are designed with low-resistance media or electronically charged filters to keep airflow unobstructed. While UV lights draw a small amount of electricity, they run only when the HVAC fan is active. In most Jasper homes, the added annual energy cost is comparable to operating a couple of LED light bulbs—far less than multiple portable units—and is often offset by longer HVAC equipment life and fewer service calls thanks to cleaner coils and ducts.
Do I need professional installation, and what can I expect during the process?
Yes. Properly cutting into sheet-metal ductwork, sealing air leaks, and wiring UV or electronic components require HVAC expertise and the right tools. During installation our NATE-certified technicians will: 1) evaluate airflow needs and placement; 2) shut down and protect your HVAC equipment; 3) mount the purifier cabinet and seal all joints; 4) wire the unit to the blower circuit or a dedicated transformer; 5) test for correct voltage, airflow, and pressure drop; and 6) walk you through maintenance steps. The whole visit usually takes two to four hours, with little disruption to your daily routine.
