Eliminate Indoor Air Pollutants Efficiently

Achieving true indoor air quality requires more than a standard furnace filter. Standard fiberglass filters are designed primarily to protect the HVAC equipment, not the people living inside the home. To effectively remove pollutants, a system must address the three main categories of indoor contaminants: particulates (dust, pollen, dander), biologicals (mold, bacteria, viruses), and volatile organic compounds (chemical odors, gases). A whole-home air purification system addresses these issues simultaneously, utilizing the airflow of your central heating and cooling system to treat the entire house.

We implement systems that utilize high-efficiency media air cleaners and ultraviolet (UV) germicidal lights. Media air cleaners offer a significantly higher surface area than standard filters, allowing them to trap smaller particles without restricting airflow to the furnace or air conditioner. This balance is critical; a filter that is too restrictive can damage the HVAC blower motor, while one that is too loose allows debris to pass through. Our technicians calculate the static pressure of your current ductwork to ensure the selected purification system enhances air quality without compromising system efficiency.

For biological contaminants, UV technology is integrated into the supply or return plenum. As air passes the UV lamp, the genetic material of mold spores and bacteria is disrupted, neutralizing them before they can recirculate into your living areas. This is particularly effective in preventing mold growth on the cooling coils, which is a common source of musty odors during humid months.

Your Guide to Air Purifier Installation

The installation process for a whole-home system is precise and requires licensed handling of sheet metal and high-voltage electricity. Unlike portable units that plug into a wall, these systems become a functional component of the central air handler. The objective is to create a seamless loop where air is pulled from the return vents, filtered and treated, and then redistributed.

• Site Preparation and Safety Check:
  • First, the technicians isolate the power to the HVAC system to ensure safety during the electrical integration.
  • Next, the installation area around the furnace or air handler is prepped, often requiring the temporary removal of the existing filter rack.‍
• Sheet Metal Modification:
  • Technicians cut into the return air drop to create space for the new media cabinet or purification unit.
  • Custom transition pieces are fabricated on-site or pre-measured to ensure the new unit fits flush with existing ductwork.
  • All connections are sealed with mastic or foil tape to prevent air leaks, which ensures 100% of the air passes through the filter.‍
• Unit Mounting and Component Integration:
  • The purification cabinet is mechanically fastened to the ductwork.
  • If UV lights are included, holes are drilled into the coil casing or supply plenum at specific distances to maximize sterilization coverage without damaging internal components.
  • Sensors and pressure switches are installed to ensure the purification features only activate when the blower fan is running, conserving energy and bulb life.‍
• Electrical Connection:
  • The unit is wired into the furnace’s 24-volt or 120-volt power supply, depending on the voltage requirements of the specific model.
  • Technicians verify proper grounding and install service disconnects where required by code.‍
• Final Testing and Walkthrough:
  • Finally, the system is powered on, and technicians measure the pressure drop across the new filter to confirm it falls within manufacturer specifications.
  • The homeowner is shown how to access the filter door, how to read any status indicator lights, and instructed on the maintenance schedule.

Deciding Between Air Purifier Replacement and Repair

Existing air purification systems, particularly older electronic air cleaners or early-generation UV systems, often reach a point of diminishing returns. Knowing when to repair an aging component versus upgrading to modern technology is key to maintaining healthy air efficiently. Electronic air cleaners (the type that make a snapping sound) often lose efficiency as plates corrode or power supplies fail.

• Repair Considerations:
  • If the system is under five years old and the failure is a minor electrical component (like a ballast or a switch), repair is usually the most cost-effective route.
  • Routine maintenance, such as replacing UV bulbs or cleaning pre-filters, is not considered a repair but a necessary operational cost.
  • If the unit frame is physically intact and seals tightly against the ductwork, replacing the internal media or cells is a viable option.‍
• Replacement Indicators:
  • ‍Obsolete Technology: Older electrostatic precipitators generate ozone as a byproduct. Modern standards prefer non-ozone-producing media filters and PCO technology. If you have an ozone-generating unit, replacement is recommended for respiratory health.‍
  • Recurring Electrical Failure: If the power pack or circuit board on an electronic cleaner fails more than once, the cost of parts and labor often exceeds the cost of a modern, low-maintenance media cabinet.‍
  • System Incompatibility: If you have recently upgraded your furnace or heat pump to a variable-speed or high-efficiency model, an older, restrictive air purifier may be choking the new system. Newer high-flow media cabinets are required to match the airflow needs of modern HVAC equipment.‍
  • Persistent Odors or Mold: If an existing system is running but you continue to detect mold growth on coils or persistent household odors, the technology is likely insufficient for the home's biological load. Upgrading to a dual-spectrum UV or oxidative system provides the necessary chemical-free cleaning power.

Allegiance Heating & Air, LLC. technicians can evaluate the performance of your current equipment and provide data-backed recommendations on whether a repair will restore sufficient air quality or if a new installation is required.

Navigating Local Requirements and Seasonal Considerations

Operating in Henryville requires specific attention to the region's humid continental climate. The distinct shift between cold, dry winters and hot, humid summers creates a dual challenge for indoor air quality. During the winter, homes are sealed tight to conserve heat, trapping dust, pet dander, and respiratory viruses inside. In the summer, high humidity levels can infiltrate the home, creating ideal conditions for mold and mildew growth within the ductwork if not properly managed.

• Seasonal Humidity Management:
  • In summer, the air purification system works in tandem with the air conditioner’s dehumidification capabilities. We ensure that the installation of the purifier does not impede the airflow required to remove moisture from the air.
  • UV systems are particularly recommended for this region to irradiate the cooling coils, preventing the "dirty sock syndrome" smell often associated with bacterial growth on wet coils during the humid months.‍
• Ventilation and Code Compliance:
  • Local building codes regarding electrical connections for HVAC appliances must be strictly followed. This includes dedicated circuits for high-powered units and proper conduit usage for external wiring.
  • When installing systems that alter the return air drop, technicians must ensure that the modification does not block access to the furnace burners or limit the combustion air intake for gas-fired equipment. This is critical for safety and code compliance.
  • The transition from heating to cooling requires checking the air purifier. Pollen counts spike in the spring, meaning filters often load faster during this season. We recommend checking filter status immediately after the heavy pollen season ends to ensure the AC unit has unrestricted airflow for the summer heat.
