HVAC Filter Installation
Our dedicated technicians manage complete HVAC filter installations with meticulous record-keeping and compliance documentation. We deliver new filters, replace existing ones, and dispose of used filters off-site to minimize your carbon footprint. This turn-key service allows your engineering team to focus on core operations while we handle filtration maintenance.
Custom Filter Manufacturing
We produce non-standard pleated filters in thicknesses of 1", 2", or 4" with precise height and width dimensions. Our rapid production process maintains standard lead times even for custom orders. Special configurations include HEPA filters and carbon filtration systems, though custom orders require exact measurements and cannot be returned.
MERV-Rated Filtration Solutions
We provide filters across MERV ratings 8-16, targeting specific particulate removal needs from 3.0-10m down to 0.3-1.0m. Our product range includes pre-filters, final filters, and pathogen barrier systems. Technical guidance helps clients select optimal filtration levels based on their environmental requirements and efficiency standards.
Carbon Filtration Systems
Our carbon filtration solutions mitigate odors and gaseous pollutants using pleated, rigid, and bulk media formats. Applications include industrial exhaust, healthcare facilities, and commercial kitchens. We offer standard and custom configurations with adsorption media tailored to specific chemical contaminants and airflow requirements.
