Indoor Air Quality
Go Beyond “Just a Filter” to a Planned Indoor Air Quality Stack.
Real indoor air quality isn't a single gadget. It's a stack of tools — filtration, UV, ventilation, runtime, and humidity control — working together with your HVAC system and duct design. We build IAQ plans that actually fit the home, not just the brochure.
Filtration & Media
We match filter performance to your system and ductwork so you actually capture particles without choking airflow.
- High-MERV media cabinets (properly sized).
- Consideration of static pressure and blower capacity.
- Filter change access that homeowners will actually use.
UV & Coil Protection
UV systems targeted at the coil and wet surfaces help keep the system cleaner over time — without “magic” claims.
- Coil UV for microbial growth control on wet surfaces.
- Placement and lamp selection based on manufacturer guidance.
- Clear explanation of what UV does and does not do.
Fresh Air & ERV/HRV
In tighter homes, we design mechanical fresh air paths so you're not relying solely on leaks and open windows.
- ERV or HRV options where appropriate.
- Fresh air tied into the air handler correctly.
- Controls that prevent over-ventilation and wasted energy.
Dehumidification & Runtime
Comfort and IAQ are heavily influenced by humidity and how long your system actually runs.
- Whole-home dehumidification where conditions require it.
- Run-time strategies that improve filtration effectiveness.
- Thermostat and control adjustments that support IAQ goals.
When a Serious IAQ Plan Makes Sense
- Someone in the home is sensitive to dust, odors, or humidity swings.
- The home has a history of moisture issues or prior growth.
- There's a mix of pets, carpets, and limited ventilation.
- You're investing in a full attic/duct/HVAC upgrade and want IAQ integrated from day one.
IAQ Testing: Where It Fits
Testing can be useful when it's tied to a plan. We focus on:
- Particle counts at supply vents and in key rooms.
- Humidity patterns and temperature stratification.
- Targeted sampling when appropriate and within our scope — clearly explaining limitations.
We never lead with testing alone. Investigation and building diagnostics come first.
IAQ Works Best as Part of a Whole-Home Plan.
Installing a purifier on a system that has contaminated ductwork and a failing attic is like putting a bandaid on the wrong spot. Our flagship projects treat IAQ as the final polish on top of attic, duct, and HVAC corrections — not a distraction from them.
