Backed by Testing, Not Guesswork
Why One Photo Is Enough
Most companies recommend from a product list. We did the homework first. We tested more than 30 filter and air-cleaning configurations in a controlled space and scored each one, so we can look at your system in a photo and point you to the setup that fits it.
Our biggest finding: a properly fitted, high-quality filter is often the smartest place to start. More technology does not automatically mean better value.

The science behind our testing
Controlled test environment
We tested every configuration in the same enclosed space, using particle sensors and consistent furnace-fan operation so each setup could be compared on a level playing field.
CADR / PM2.5 / PM10
We tracked Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR) along with PM2.5 and PM10 particle levels. CADR combines airflow and particle removal into one number. The higher the result, the more clean air the system is effectively delivering.
ΔP / static pressure / airflow
We also measured pressure drop (ΔP) in in. w.c. at roughly 1,000 CFM. That let us compare particle-removal performance with how much resistance each setup added to the HVAC system.

How to Take a Good Photo
A step back makes a big difference. Leave equipment panels in place. Do not climb or enter an unsafe space.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need an in-home estimate?
A clear photo is often enough to prepare three personalized options with installed pricing. We will let you know if we need another photo, measurements, or an in-person assessment.
How long does installation take?
Standard installations generally take 30 minutes to 3 hours. Additional ductwork changes can take longer. We will confirm the expected time with your options.
Will this work with my current system?
In most cases, yes. Compatibility matters more than a one-size-fits-all recommendation, which is exactly why we start with a photo of your equipment.
What if I can't get a photo?
A clear photo is the fastest path. If you are having trouble getting one, give us a call at 206-898-5743 and we can help. If an in-person look would help, an optional technician assessment is available.
