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.
