Air Purifiers

As air circulates through your home, viruses, mold spores, and bacteria are also spread. This can trigger allergies or make you sick. One of the best solutions to combat this is with an air purifier.

Air purifiers clean the air in ductwork by removing pollen, dust, and odors.

The Vanport Mechanical & Fire Sprinklers Inc. team offers air purifier services, filters, UV light purifiers, and scrubbers to enhance your indoor air quality.

Air Purification Services

In Vancouver WA and the Portland OR Metro Area, our wet winters and smoky summers bring unique indoor air issues, including mold spores, dust mites, and wildlife smoke. So we start with what matters most: the right solution for your home and the way you live.

We offer properly sized, in-duct solutions that work with your existing HVAC system. Our most popular options include UV air purification systems to tackle airborne viruses, bacteria, and mold at the coil and in the airstream. We also have whole-home air scrubbers that combine advanced filtration and odor reduction technologies.

UV Light Air Purification

UV Light purification systems work well on their own and complement other purification systems.  UV light air purifier systems are recommended for homes and families with:

• Allergies
• Concern for maintaining or improving energy efficiency
• A humid climate
• Air conditioning ductwork that requires frequent cleaning
• Odors caused by cooking, pets, and other sources
• A dry climate in winter where windows are closed

With UV light air purifiers, you can improve the air quality and breathe easier throughout your home.

Do UV Light Purifiers Really Work? 

Yes, UV light air purifiers are highly effective in killing:

• Mold spores & mildew: Mold spores and mildew can harm anyone, but they are especially risky for people with allergies, asthma, or other breathing issues. UV light purifiers are only effective in killing airborne mold spores. So if you have mold that’s already developed on surfaces, you’ll need to wipe it off directly.
• Odors: UV-C lights can eliminate smoking odors, pet odors, and food odors produced from cooking.
• Viruses & bacteria: Viruses and bacteria cause people to get ill. As these bacteria pass through the UV lights, they are killed, making them no longer harmful to breathe in. Having a UV light air purifier installed in your HVAC system may help reduce cold and flu instances in your home.

Commercial Air Purification Systems

We provide systems that improve indoor air quality, comfort, and meet code standards for businesses in Vancouver WA and the Portland OR Metro Area. This includes offices, clinics, schools, and restaurants.

This typically includes coil surfaces, in-ducting for airstream disinfection, filtration upgrades (where fan capacity allows), and targeted units for high-risk zones (such as conference rooms).

Air Purifier Filters

Do you already have an air filter system but need help with replacement or repairs? We can help. Our HVAC contractors are highly experienced with HVAC systems, including air filtration systems and air purifiers. 

We offer a variety of air filters, including those produced by Honeywell, Glasfoss, and Aprilaire. Our filters are effective for 6 to 12 months and are MERV rated. This is the measurement scale that rates the effectiveness of air filters, ranging from 1 to 20, with 20 being the highest. 

Not sure which is best for you? We can talk with you and provide you with our recommendations based on your needs.

We Also Install Air Scrubbers in Homes

An air scrubber is like a heavy-duty version of an air purifier that’s constantly working to clean and disinfect the air in your home. It uses an advanced process called ionization to seek out and eliminate pathogens and particulate matter, and it can even clean surface contaminants.

Does insurance pay for air purifiers?

In most cases, standard health insurance and Medicare do not cover residential air purifiers. But it’s best to check with your insurer or benefits administrator to make sure.

However, there are some possible exceptions and alternatives, such as:

• HSAs and FSAs may reimburse you when an air purifier is prescribed for a condition like asthma or severe allergies.
• Low-income assistance and rebates for HEPA units are offered through certain programs during wildfire smoke events from select states, counties, and utility companies.

Which is better: an air purifier or an ionizer?

Air purifiers and ionizers solve different problems: air purifiers capture microorganisms (viruses, bacteria, and mold), and ionizers charge particles without capturing them.

For your Vancouver WA and the Portland OR Metro Area space, the experts at Vanport Mechanical & Fire Sprinklers Inc. can help compare your options, including our iWave-R ionizer.
