Dallas Air Purifier Installation

Either one will greatly benefit you and your family. When you hire our Dallas HVAC professionals, we’ll walk you through the whole process, including the pros and cons of various air purifier installation systems for your specific living space. By measuring your home’s square feet, we’ll be able to help you figure out the efficiency and ensure that your system doesn’t produce ozone as that is a problem with some types of air purifiers that do not have a necessary HEPA filter.

Generally, a whole house system will benefit a larger household where you have people in various rooms. That system can cover more square footage and benefit everybody.

However, if your living space is smaller and there are way fewer people in your household, you would benefit from portables. It’s easy to simply unplug and move them to different areas in your house

Dallas homeowners who have a portable system should place it near their breathing space. Depending on the size, you could even place it on your nightstand or next to your bed when you go to sleep. Medium-sized portables that you typically put in a room should be placed next to your couch, desk, or dinner table, wherever you are spending the most time of your day. The closer your air purification system is to your head, the less travel it takes for clean air to reach you.

You can also put your portable in front of a window or entryway where there is generally more air flow. It actually requires some energy for your unit to lift dust and other particles. When there is enough air flow, the overall distribution process will be made a lot easier.

Dallas homeowners that we have served have told us about one pet peeve about their purification system—namely, maintenance. Whether you opt for a whole-house or a portable unit, it’s recommended that you mark a date for maintenance services.

Whole-house systems are duct-based and a part of your overall HVAC system, except that your purifier’s duct path is arranged differently. The more specific the HEPA filter demand, the more complex the installation and maintenance services are because some units have a two- or three-stage HEPA filtration system.

As a rule of thumb, mark in your calendar when you need a replacement filter for your portable unit and while performing the replacement, use a vacuum cleaner to suck out any dust and debris and use a dry microfiber cloth to wipe down the interior surface areas.

For a whole-house unit, we strongly recommend hiring your local Dallas HVAC service professional to provide you with the best cleaning and inspection services.

Besides maintenance, one last disadvantage is that your windows should be closed when a purification system is in use. But that's naturally the same requirements as operating an air conditioner or furnace during peak season.

Both filters are designed for different purposes. Carbon filters contain activated carbon that filters gas, smoke, odors, and other impurities like microbes. On the other hand, HEPA filters reduce particulate pollution by removing dust, pollen, mold spores, and microscopic particles that include some viruses. It is recommended to replace your carbon filter every three months, whereas HEPA filters should be replaced at least once a year.

Ideally, you get a system that contains both filters because combined, they will effectively and efficiently improve your indoor living environment.

It’s not uncommon for Dallas homeowners to do that as long as they have an ozone-free unit with reliable HEPA filters and that includes your whole-house system. Remember to give it a monthly clean with a vacuum cleaner and check the filters for particle levels during peak seasons. For a more reliable checkup, your local team of professionals are at your disposal!

Check if your system uses a HEPA filter, if not, it likely produces ozone which you should be able to smell. The smell has been described as pungent like an antiseptic. If you don’t have a strong sense of smell, you might experience respiratory problems because ozone is also a lung irritant and can cause various inflammations. If you have an existing unit that you would like to have inspected or even optimized or replaced, your Dallas HVAC technician is happy to help!
