What is a HEPA Filter? And What Do They Do?

What is a HEPA Filter

A HEPA filter is a high-quality air filter that works to create much cleaner air than a traditional filter. The acronym HEPA stands for High Efficiency Particulate Air. Having a quality HEPA filter ensures that the air coming through your HVAC system is free of things like germs, dust, pollutants, particulates, and pet dander. At Galmiche and Sons, we recommend the use of a HEPA filter in most households and offer them on all of our HVAC options.

If you are looking to improve your indoor air quality, Galmiche & Sons highly recommends switching to a HEPA filter.

Why Choose a HEPA Filter?

When it comes to the level of air quality in your home or business, you want to make sure you are getting the best. That is why Galmiche & Sons offer high quality HEPA filters for all of our products. In order to be deemed a HEPA filter, an air filter must trap 99.97% of particulate matter greater than 0.3 microns. This helps to keep harmful elements out of your airspace.

Take a look at some other benefits of choosing a HEPA filter:

  • Removes Allergens – HEPA filters can help to remove airborne particles that make allergies worse.
  • Cleans Pollutant – A HEPA filter can help to reduce indoor particulate matter by up to 55%. Depending on the rating of the filter, it can also filter and remove things like viruses and bacteria.
  • Helps with Asthma – A good quality HEPA filter can remove things like mold spores and dust from the air, which helps people who suffer from asthma or have other respirator issues.

Other Ways to Improve Your Indoor Air Quality

A HEPA filter is a fantastic way to improve the air quality of an indoor space, but it is not the only way. We have some additional tips for you to achieve higher indoor air quality:

  • Promote a green living space – Having plants in your house is an excellent way to help naturally clean your air. Many plants such as Spider Ferns, Peace Lilies, and Succulents do well indoors and purify the air. Be sure to check when buying plants as some may be harmful to pets.
  • Change your filters – Regardless of whether or not you have a HEPA filter, regularly changing filters is important in keeping your air quality high.
