HVAC vs HEPA-13 FILTERED AIR PURIFIERS - Steve Fontaine Weighs In

When it comes to maintaining clean indoor air, sometimes people make the mistake of comparing and trying to choose between HVAC systems and HEPA 13 filtered stand-alone air purifiers.

Boca Raton, United States - May 27, 2024 /Baden Bower/ —

When it comes to maintaining clean indoor air, sometimes people make the mistake of comparing and trying to choose between HVAC systems and HEPA 13 filtered stand-alone air purifiers. The fact of the matter is, they are two completely different systems that do two completely different things.

The Distinctions of HVAC and HEPA-13


While HVAC systems are primarily designed for temperature regulation and air circulation, even their highly respected MERV 13 filters are not effective at capturing micro-particles, including Covid-like particles, mold spores, viruses, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). 


In contrast, HEPA 13 filters can remove 99.99% of airborne pathogens down to 0.01 microns, making them highly efficient at improving indoor air quality. The best solution is to have an HVAC system that works correctly for temperature control and have a standalone HEPA air purifier in every room. 

An Industry Veteran Weighs In


Steve Fontaine has helped over 1.2 million classrooms choose the right air purifier to support better indoor air quality. Not only classrooms, but nursing homes, public buildings, offices, churches, dental offices, doctors, offices, and more benefit from standalone air purifiers to help with their indoor air quality using HEPA 13 filtered air purifiers to clean the air and make their environment safer.


In line with CDC recommendations for achieving five clean air deliveries per hour, it is important to note that even the best brand-new HVAC system may not effectively remove micro-particles.
