Why can’t I have an all-home air purification system installed?

He asked if I had ever thought about purchasing a portable air purification system

I have an older HVAC system and I wanted to have an all-home air purification system installed. When the HVAC technician arrived to inspect my HVAC system, he told me he didn’t think it would work. I needed to use HEPA air filters with the air purification system, and my HVAC system wasn’t made to use HEPA air filters. I tried to understand what he was telling me, but I was have a mind block. I couldn’t wrap my mind around what he was trying to explain to me. He brought a HEPA air filter in from his service van and shoed me the difference between my air filter and the HEPA air filter. He said they also had UV lights in the air purification system. I could have the air purification system if all I wanted was the UV light system, but I couldn’t use the HEPA air filter. Some people chose to use just the HEPA air filter and not the UV light, but I didn’t have that choice. He told me that if I wanted a whole home air purification system with a HEPA air filter, i would need to get a newer HvAC system. I couldn’t afford to get a new HVAC system, and I told him so. He asked if I had ever thought about purchasing a portable air purification system. They worked just as well, but I would need to have one for each room, or switch the portable air purifier from room to room. I didn’t like the inconvenience of this either, so I gave up on the idea.
