FAQs
What is HEPA filtration and why is it important for indoor air quality in Ocoee homes?
HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) filtration uses a dense fiber mat that captures at least 99.97 % of particles down to 0.3 microns in size—pollen, mold spores, pet dander, smoke, and even some bacteria. Because Ocoee’s warm, humid climate can promote mold growth and high pollen counts, adding a true HEPA filter to your HVAC system significantly reduces airborne contaminants, resulting in cleaner, healthier air for your family.
How does integrating a HEPA filter with my existing HVAC system work?
A dedicated HEPA filtration unit is installed in the return-air side of your central heating and air-conditioning ductwork. The unit draws a portion of the return air, passes it through the HEPA filter, and then routes the purified air back into the supply plenum. This bypass design delivers whole-house filtration without restricting airflow to your main blower, so comfort levels and equipment efficiency are maintained.
Will a HEPA filtration system increase my energy bills?
Because a HEPA unit operates in a bypass configuration, it places almost no additional static pressure on your main HVAC blower. The separate fan inside the HEPA cabinet is energy-efficient and runs only when the HVAC system calls for air movement. Most homeowners in Ocoee see negligible changes—often less than a few dollars per month—while gaining substantial air-quality benefits.
How often should HEPA filters be replaced or serviced?
For typical residential use in Central Florida, the pre-filter (which catches larger dust) should be changed every 3–6 months, the carbon/charcoal stage every 6–12 months for odor control, and the primary HEPA filter every 2–3 years. Exact intervals depend on factors like pets, smoking, recent renovations, or high pollen seasons. We offer maintenance plans that remind you and include professional filter changes.
Can HEPA filtration help with allergies and asthma in Ocoee's climate?
Yes. HEPA filters trap microscopic allergens such as ragweed pollen, grass pollens common in spring, mold spores boosted by summer humidity, and fine dust particles. Studies show HEPA filtration can lower particulate concentration by 50–90 %, easing respiratory symptoms and reducing asthma flare-ups. Combined with proper humidity control, the system creates an indoor environment that is far less irritating to sensitive airways.
