The experts tell us Covid is mainly an air borne virus. Could a hepa filter make a difference?. Steve Cassell, of JSC Enterprises LLC, an air conditioning expert chimes in.

 

 

In this article we reached out to Steve Cassell, of JSC Enterprises LLC. Steve does air conditioning repair in Locust Grove Ga. He tells us that while he is not a Covid expert he can give his expert advice on Hepa filters. Steve tells us, ” Hepa filters have been designed to capture items as small as .01 microns.  So in theory Hepa filters could be able to filter out airborne viruses as long as they are larger than .01 microns in size.”

 

 

 

Only time will tell.

 

Either way, some experts are concerned using a Hepa filter could lead to a false sense of security causing people to let their guard down. An important question to ask is how long will it take for a Hepa filter to clean the air in a room?

 

Steve continues, “It depends how big the room is. It could take between 30 minutes and 2 hours for the air to be completely filtered.”

 

 

Steve continues, “While doing air conditioning repair in Locust Grove — Some customers feel safer having a Hepa filter that provides an extra level of safety for their family. They like knowing the air they are breathing is cleaner. Hepa filters are also great for eliminating dust, and animal dander. This really makes a difference with people suffering from asthma and allergies.”
