FAQs
What makes a “hospital-grade” air purifier different from a standard residential air cleaner?
Hospital-grade purifiers are engineered to meet the same particle-removal and microbial-inactivation standards required in medical facilities. They combine multi-stage mechanical filtration (MERV-16 or HEPA media that capture 99.97 % of particles down to 0.3 microns) with germicidal technologies such as UV-C or photocatalytic oxidation. This enables them to remove and neutralize viruses, bacteria, mold spores, smoke, and ultrafine dust that most conventional home units miss, providing a considerably higher level of protection for allergy sufferers, immunocompromised occupants, and anyone concerned about indoor air hygiene.
Can your hospital-grade air purification equipment be integrated with my existing heating and air conditioning system in Oliver Springs?
Yes. We offer both in-duct and free-standing solutions. In-duct HEPA modules, UV-C lamps, and high-MERV media cabinets are designed to be mounted in the supply or return plenums of most forced-air furnaces or heat pumps without major modifications. During a free in-home assessment, our technicians measure static pressure, airflow, and available space to ensure the add-on will not strain your blower motor. If direct integration is not feasible, we can recommend whole-house bypass HEPA units or portable medical-grade purifiers that supplement your existing HVAC while still treating all key living areas.
What types of contaminants do your systems remove and how effective are they?
Our hospital-grade packages are tested to remove or inactivate: • Particulate matter (PM1, PM2.5, PM10) including pollen, pet dander, construction dust, and smoke. • Bio-aerosols such as viruses, bacteria, and mold spores (≥99.9 % reduction with HEPA + UV-C). • Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from cleaning products, paints, and off-gassing furniture through activated carbon or photocatalytic media. • Odors from cooking, pets, and tobacco. Independent lab data show up to a 90 % reduction in total airborne contaminants within the first 24 hours of continuous operation in a 2,000 sq ft home.
How often do the filters and UV-C lamps need maintenance or replacement?
HEPA or MERV-16 media typically last 9–12 months under average East Tennessee conditions, but homes with pets, smokers, or recent renovations may require replacement every 6 months. Activated carbon VOC cartridges have a service life of 6–12 months depending on pollutant load. UV-C lamps degrade over time and should be replaced every 18–24 months to maintain germicidal output. During our semi-annual HVAC tune-ups we inspect pressure drops and lamp intensity, ensuring your system stays at peak efficiency.
Will adding advanced filtration or ventilation equipment raise my energy bills?
Properly specified hospital-grade filtration adds only a small pressure drop that most modern variable-speed blowers handle without noticeable energy impact. For older single-speed systems, we may install an ECM motor upgrade or a bypass HEPA unit to keep wattage increases minimal. Balanced energy-recovery ventilators (ERVs) actually reclaim up to 80 % of the heat or cooling contained in exhaust air, so you gain fresh air with little additional load. Overall, customers typically see less than a 5 % change in monthly utility costs, often offset by improved HVAC efficiency due to cleaner coils and ducts.
