Indoor air quality is a much bigger problem in most homes or businesses than many people realize. While most people recognize that outdoor air quality can diminish greatly, particularly during warm weather in heavily urban areas, few people realize that the air they breathe indoor might be several times worse than that outdoor air they are avoiding. Indoor air often has detectable levels of bacteria, dust particles, VOCs, and so much more. While your HVAC system’s air filter can help with this to a certain extent, few are often up to the job of providing filtration at a high level.

We utilize premium products from reputable manufacturers, and we can seamlessly integrate new systems into your home either alongside your existing HVAC system or as a standalone system.

What Is a HEPA Filtration System?
What’s the difference between a high-efficiency air filtration system and a standard air filter? To put it simply, “high efficiency” filters are capable of trapping the overwhelming majority of the smallest airborne contaminants. Also known as “high-efficiency particulate air” filters, or “HEPA” filters for short, these filters are capable of trapping 99.97 percent of all airborne particles down to a size of 0.3 microns. For perspective, an average human hair is around 100 microns thick.
HEPA filters are the types of air filters that are often used to protect and preserve indoor air quality in the most sensitive environments, including hospitals, clean rooms, and more. However, because of their immense cleaning power, HEPA filters are often far too restrictive to install directly into an HVAC system. The resistance they provide would cause many problems for your blower motor, coils, compressor, and other components. Therefore, those who are sensitive to allergens or wish to install one of these filters for any other reason should install a secondary filtration system that is designed for these filters.
Why Choose a High-Efficiency Filtration System?
The importance of clean indoor air cannot be overstated. Even those who don’t normally suffer from allergies or other respiratory conditions could suffer due to poor indoor air quality—especially when that poor quality is caused by pollutants. Whether it’s allergens, viruses, or synthetic gases that are commonly found in our household products, the air inside our homes and businesses can carry many kinds of harmful particles. That’s where high-efficiency filtration systems come into play, offering a significant improvement in air quality and, consequently, in your health and well-being.
Here are just a few of the benefits of installing a high-efficiency filtration system:
- Improved health: Better air quality improves the amount of oxygen reaching your cells, helping you feel healthier and more energized.
- Enhanced comfort: Cleaner air means fewer symptoms of poor air quality, such as allergy symptoms or even nasty odors.
- Increased HVAC efficiency: Added filtration can help reduce the strain on your HVAC air filter, helping your air conditioner and heater to run more efficiently.
