How does a whole-home air purifier differ from the standard pleated filters I buy at the store?

While standard filters are designed primarily to protect your HVAC equipment from large dust particles, whole-home purifiers use advanced technologies such as HEPA and UV light to capture microscopic pathogens and neutralize odors.

Will an ultraviolet (UV) air purifier help reduce the spread of viruses and bacteria in my home?

Yes, light purifiers are specifically designed to scramble the DNA of contaminants like mold spores, bacteria, and viruses as they pass through your ductwork. By installing these lamps near the cooling coil, we can prevent any growth on the equipment and ensure the air being pushed into your living spaces is sanitized.

Will a higher-efficiency filter (higher MERV rating) cause damage to my existing blower motor?

Standard HVAC systems are often not designed to pull air through extremely dense, high-MERV filters, which can lead to restricted airflow and motor burnout. We evaluate your system’s static pressure to ensure the air purifier we install provides maximum filtration without putting unnecessary mechanical strain on your specific equipment.

Can an air purification system be installed in a home that uses a ductless mini-split system?

While whole-home purifiers are typically designed for ducted systems, we offer specialized UV stick lights and high-efficiency ionizers specifically engineered for the compact cabinets of ductless indoor units. These upgrades help prevent organic growth on the mini-split's internal blower wheel and ensure the air in that specific zone remains sanitized.

Effective Air Purifiers & Filters in Birmingham

Proud to Be in Service Since 1939

We often do not consider the cleanliness of the air we breathe unless we happen to pass through a large cloud of soot or smoke. This makes it easy to assume that the air inside our homes and businesses is “clean” simply because it is transparent, and there is no obvious sign of dirt, debris, or other particles. Unfortunately, this is not usually the case – the inside of buildings can often be more than 100 times as polluted as the air outside since the ventilation system is usually unable to handle the number of contaminants continually recycling around the air. Without a strong filter or purifier, your home likely has extremely poor air quality. When you are looking for effective air purifiers & filters in Birmingham, trust our team at Standard Heating, Cooling & Plumbing to get the job done right, so you can finally breathe easily.

Contact us now at (205) 386-4001 and our dedicated team can set up an estimate to plan for purifying your home’s air quality.

Effective Options for Air Filtration

If you have an HVAC system at your home or business already, you may be thinking that your ventilation is already taken care of, since it has an air filter built inside it. While this filter is necessary to trap dirt, dust, and other large particles from clogging up your HVAC system and preventing it from working, this component is too small to clean all the air inside your house. You will need something much stronger and more powerful to purify all the rooms within your home truly. Different air filters have different “MERV” values, a system that measures how efficiently air is cleaned. We can install filters with excellent MERV values, such as:

High-Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) Filters: These kinds of filters are extremely powerful and are known to collect 99.97% of even the tiniest, microscopic particles. HEPA filters are usually made from an intricate network of glass strands, trapping contaminants in their woven maze.
Carbon Filters: These types of filters are so effective they can even break down odors that are floating around the house, from the smell of smoke to pets to dangerous chemicals.

Powerful Choices for Air Purification

Although air filters are designed to be strong, some certain invisible allergens and particulates are too tiny and manage to pass through the filtration systems. When this is the case, our experienced team can set you up with a powerful purifier that eradicates these contaminants.

There are many types of purifiers available, and our experienced team can help you find one that is most suitable for your needs.

For example, REME Halo air purifiers can get rid of contaminants right at their origin, while ionization purifiers weigh down pollutants with ions, trapping them onto a metal surface until you are ready to clean them. Yet another option is that of a UV purifier, which destroys mildew and mold spores directly from your ductwork. No matter what your home is like, you can count on our team at Standard Heating, Cooling & Plumbing to flexibly support your individual needs and provide you with a powerful air-cleaning system.

Stuart was prompt, professional, courteous, and very efficient. He serviced my HVAC units in a timely fashion. Having just moved in a few months ago getting all my questions answered and the units thoroughly checked by a professional was paramount. Great job Stuart. Thank you.

I’ve had to call Standard 3 times in the last month for HVAC and plumbing issues. Everyone I’ve interacted with has been so great, especially our new plumber friend, Brad Casey! I will be using this company exclusively, from now on! ????

Jennifer M.

I used Standard to install a new gas water heater today. Baron was the tech and he clearly explained all the activities he would perform in presenting the cost estimate. Then the installation was performed efficiently and neatly. Well done.

C. H.

Always get great service! Billy was so nice and professional. He was also super knowledgeable and diagnosed the problem almost immediately. Love that he already had info about my system from having Standard service previously ( I know nothing). Issues were fixed rapidly and my house is cool again! Thank you!

Katy L.

Our AC went out last week and they came within two days (hottest week so far this year of course!). Billy figured out the compressor issue in about 15 minutes and had us up and repaired it by the afternoon. Not the cheapest but you get what you pay for.

Richard L.

The entire process of installing my system and the recent maintenance has been professional and so helpful. Daniel came this week and he took care of my equipment but he helped me get it online so I can check it and control it away from the house. So appreciate his help!

Nola S.

The company will call you that day and let you know the technician is on his way. The technician was very professional and was on time. The technician will let you know if you are having any issues with your equipment. The technicians are very knowledgeable.
