HVAC AIR PURIFIERS with HEPA FILTERS & UV/UVP LAMPS
Integrating an air purifier into an HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) system is an effective way to improve indoor air quality throughout your home. Here’s a detailed look at how air purifiers can be used with HVAC systems, including their benefits, types, and installation considerations.
Benefits of Adding an Air Purifier to an HVAC System
Enhanced Air Quality: Air purifiers can remove pollutants such as dust, pollen, pet dander, mold spores, and bacteria from the air circulating through your home.
Allergy Relief: By reducing airborne allergens, they can help alleviate allergy symptoms for residents.
Odor Reduction: Some air purifiers, especially those with activated carbon filters, can help reduce odors from cooking, pets, smoke, and other sources.
Health Benefits: Improved air quality can lead to better respiratory health and overall well-being.
Types of Air Purifiers for HVAC Systems
HEPA Filters:
Function: Capture at least 99.97% of particles as small as 0.3 microns.
Installation: Typically installed in the return air duct or air handler. Requires sufficient space and proper sealing to maintain efficiency.
Activated Carbon Filters:
Function: Absorb gases and odors.
Installation: Often used in conjunction with HEPA filters or installed as a standalone filter in the return air duct.
UV-C Light Purifiers:
Function: Use ultraviolet light to kill or deactivate microorganisms like bacteria and viruses.
Installation: Usually mounted near the air handler or within the ductwork. They are often combined with other types of filters.
Installation Considerations
Compatibility:
Size and Type: Ensure the air purifier fits your HVAC system’s specifications. Check dimensions, airflow capacity, and mounting requirements.
Integration: Verify that the purifier integrates well with your existing system without affecting performance or efficiency.
Location:
- Air Handler: Installing the purifier within the air handler allows it to filter air as it passes through the HVAC system.
- Ductwork: Some purifiers are installed into the ductwork, in the return air section where the air enters the system.
Maintenance:
- Filter Replacement: Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for replacing filters and UV bulbs
Cleaning: Regularly clean the purifier and check for any issues to maintain optimal performance.
Professional Installation:
- Consultation: For complex systems or if you’re unsure about installation, consider hiring a professional HVAC technician. They can ensure the system is installed correctly and integrated seamlessly with your HVAC.
Regular Maintenance
- Check Filters: Replace or clean filters as recommended to ensure the air purifier operates efficiently.
Inspect UV-C Lamps: For UV-C purifiers, replace lamps periodically as they lose effectiveness over time.
System Checks: Ensure that the HVAC system and air purifier work together without any leaks or operational issues.
By integrating an air purifier into your HVAC system, you can achieve consistent air quality improvement throughout your home, providing a healthier environment for you and your family.
Transform Your Central HVAC System with Advanced Hospital-Grade HEPA Filtration for Your residential or commercial spaces
​
Healthcare professionals, including allergists and pediatricians, often advocate for cutting-edge HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) filtration systems to eliminate microscopic pathogens, allergens, and irritants from indoor air.
Why is this technology so important?
First, over 99% of airborne particles indoors are less than one micron (0.0000004 inches) in size—too small for most filters to capture or for the eye to see.
Second, these minuscule particles are recognized by experts at the U.S. EPA and other institutions as potentially harmful to lung health, as they can bypass natural defenses and settle deep within the lungs.
CAP600 and CAP1200 Series Air Purifiers, featuring True HEPA filters, efficiently remove at least 99.97% of these tiny airborne particles (down to 0.3 microns), including those that can trigger asthma and allergic reactions.
CAP600 and CAP1200 models provides multiple stages of filtration, including an activated carbon filter to address odors and some Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs).

UVP models are equipped with dual-frequency germicidal UV (UVGI) or UV "Plus" lamp which produces UV light and a controlled amount of trivalent oxygen (ozone) and control bacteria and mold spores.
This enhances its effectiveness against odors caused by mold, fungal growth, or heavy smoking. The ozone gas produced neutralizes odor-causing compounds and breaks down quickly within the HVAC ductwork.
