HEPA Filter Installation Sacramento

Why Standard Filters Aren't Enough

Your HVAC system came with a basic filter designed to protect equipment, not your health. During Sacramento’s fire seasons when PM2.5 levels spike, or when pollen counts soar, these standard filters let harmful particles circulate through your home. HEPA filters remove 99.97% of particles as small as 0.3 microns. That includes the fine particulate matter from wildfire smoke, bacteria, mold spores, and most allergens. But here’s what many contractors won’t tell you: most residential HVAC systems can’t handle true HEPA filters without modifications. We assess your system’s capabilities and recommend the right solution, whether that’s upgrading to MERV 13 filters that your system can handle, or installing a dedicated air purifier that works alongside your HVAC.

Whole Home Air Filtration Sacramento

Complete Home Protection That Works

Whole-home air filtration means every room gets clean air, not just the area around a portable unit. Our systems integrate with your existing ductwork to filter air as it circulates through your home. We start with professional air quality testing to identify what’s actually in your indoor air. Then we design a filtration system that addresses your specific needs without overloading your HVAC system. You get clean air in every room, proper airflow, and equipment that lasts. Installation includes proper sizing, system integration, and setting up maintenance schedules so your air stays clean long-term. No guesswork, no compatibility issues, just clean air that works.

Indoor Air Filtration FAQs

Common Questions About Our Service

What MERV rating should I use for wildfire smoke protection in Sacramento?

For wildfire smoke protection, you need at least MERV 13 filtration, which captures 75-85% of particles in the 0.3-1.0 micron range. However, many residential HVAC systems can't handle MERV 13 filters without reducing airflow and straining the equipment. We evaluate your specific system to recommend the highest MERV rating your equipment can handle safely. If your system can't support MERV 13, we can install a dedicated air purifier with HEPA filtration that works alongside your HVAC to provide the protection you need without damaging your equipment.

How often do air filters need to be replaced in Sacramento's climate?

In Sacramento, air filter replacement frequency depends on several factors including filter type, wildfire activity, and seasonal allergens. Standard pleated filters typically need replacement every 60-90 days, but during heavy fire seasons or high pollen periods, you might need to change them monthly. Higher MERV rated filters may need more frequent replacement as they capture more particles. We set up maintenance schedules based on your specific system and local air quality conditions, and we'll monitor your filters to ensure optimal performance without restricting airflow.

Can you install HEPA filters in my existing HVAC system?

True HEPA filters typically cannot be installed directly in residential HVAC systems because they create too much airflow restriction. Most home systems aren't designed to handle the increased resistance, which can reduce efficiency and potentially damage equipment. However, we have several solutions: we can upgrade you to the highest MERV rating your system can safely handle, install a whole-home air purifier that integrates with your ductwork, or add standalone HEPA air purifiers in key areas. We'll assess your system and recommend the best approach for your specific situation.

What's the difference between air purifiers and upgrading my HVAC filters?

Upgrading your HVAC filters improves filtration for air that circulates through your system, but your system only runs when heating or cooling. Air purifiers run continuously and can achieve higher filtration levels, including HEPA efficiency that removes 99.97% of particles. Whole-home air purifiers integrate with your ductwork to clean air throughout your home, while portable units work in specific rooms. We often recommend a combination approach: the highest MERV filter your HVAC can handle plus dedicated air purification for maximum protection, especially during Sacramento's challenging air quality periods.

How much does professional air filtration installation cost in Sacramento?

Air filtration costs vary based on your system and needs. Basic filter upgrades might cost $5-20 per filter with professional installation starting around $100-300. Whole-home air purifier installation typically ranges from $1,500-4,000 depending on the system size and features. HEPA air purifiers range from $300-2,000 plus installation. We provide detailed estimates after evaluating your home and air quality needs. Many customers find the investment pays for itself through reduced medical expenses, lower energy bills from improved HVAC efficiency, and extended equipment life.

Do air filtration systems help with energy efficiency?

Yes, proper air filtration actually improves energy efficiency when done correctly. Clean filters allow better airflow, so your HVAC system doesn't work as hard to circulate air. This reduces energy consumption and extends equipment life. However, filters that are too restrictive for your system will have the opposite effect. That's why professional assessment is crucial - we ensure your filtration upgrade improves both air quality and efficiency. Many customers see lower energy bills after upgrading to properly sized, high-quality filters with regular maintenance schedules.
