Top-Rated Air Quality Solutions
Good air quality in a home begins with diligent HVAC maintenance habits. We recommend seasonal tune-ups for furnaces, central ACs, heat pumps, mini-splits, and other HVAC equipment. Schedule a cooling tune-up in the spring and a heating tune-up in the fall. It also helps to use a premium HVAC filter, check it monthly, and replace it as needed. We also recommend an annual air quality test and a duct camera inspection at least every several years. For active protection against indoor air pollution, we install air purifiers, along with humidifiers and dehumidifiers.
There are many potential health benefits to improving your indoor air quality:
More restful sleep
Elevated energy levels
Higher cognitive function
Less respiratory inflammation
Fewer headaches and body aches
Reduced allergy and asthma symptoms
Air Purification, UV Lights, Humidification, and More!
We install in-duct air purifiers that can filter all the air in a home four or more times an hour. Many of these systems have a primary mechanical filter, such as a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter. HEPA filters can trap over 99% of the particulate matter that passes through the system. It’s common to have a prefilter that traps the largest particles and preserves the more expensive HEPA filter. Many systems also pair the HEPA filter and prefilter with activated carbon. Carbon adsorbs potentially toxic chemicals and gases and provides odor control.
While there are air purifiers with an integrated germicidal stage, we recommend a standalone ultraviolet (UV) light. An in-duct UV lamp can neutralize over 99% of pathogens in a home. That includes bacteria, viruses, mold spores, and dust mites.
An oft-overlooked aspect of air quality is relative humidity (RH). Experts recommend maintaining between a 40% and 50% RH for most households. That can be difficult to achieve in Colorado through just ventilation, heating, and cooling alone.
A common problem in the region is dry air during the wintertime. The air is naturally drier during the cold months, and operating a furnace can exacerbate the issue. Whole-house humidifiers are the solution, as they infuse the air with water vapor. That will keep the RH at 40% or higher, which will also make your home’s heating more comfortable.
Our team also installs dehumidifiers that lower RH during summer. Due to the drier air, most homes in the region don’t need a whole-house dehumidifier for the primary living spaces. However, they can be useful in certain areas of the home, such as basements and crawl spaces.
Our solutions can remove several pollutants from your home’s air:
Dust
Pollen
Pet dander
Volatile organic compounds
