Air Purification in Estero, FL

Personalized Air Purification System Installation

For homes with central heating and cooling, we recommend an in-duct air purification system in Estero. Our team will install an air purifier in the ducts on the return side of the HVAC system. There are many air purifier types, but the traditional system provides mechanical and adsorbent filtration.

There’s often a prefilter to trap the largest particles and protect the more expensive primary filters. Many air purifiers have a high-efficiency particulate air filter for the primary mechanical filtration. A HEPA filter traps over 99% of household allergens and finer particles. Many systems use activated carbon for adsorbent filtration. The carbon adsorbs unpleasant odors, gases, and chemicals.

If you’d like to reduce the presence of pathogens in the home, we recommend an in-duct UV lamp as well. While there are air purifiers with integrated UV lamps, experts often recommend standalone solutions. The mechanical and absorbent filtration benefits from the fast airflow in the purifier. The UV filtration benefits from the slow airflow in the ducts due to the longer exposure.

You may also want to consider a whole-home dehumidifier. Relative humidity (RH) is an important aspect of air quality. The U.S. EPA recommends an RH at or below 50%, which is difficult to achieve in our area through cooling along. A dehumidifier will do that and improve AC efficiency.

Once you’ve had a system installed, we recommend air purification service at least once a year. Filter media for whole-home systems typically lasts about a year. Our technician can perform a thorough inspection and cleaning, including sanitization. We’ll then swap out the old filter media with new materials.
