Air Quality and Purification Systems
Adequate ventilation is important to ensure pollutants don’t get trapped indoors, but even well-ventilated homes benefit from added IAQ systems. Filtration units capture harmful airborne particles before they can build up.

Our IAQ evaluations process begins with visual inspections of the property and living spaces. We check for obvious pollution sources, water damage, or mold growth. Our HVAC technicians interview household and workplace occupants to check for complaints indicating a need for IAQ improvement. These inspections help to validate air sampling and testing results.
We get many IAQ equipment installation requests from residential customers who live with specific dermatological and respiratory conditions, as well as from people who are immunocompromised. Common IAQ medical recommendations involve dehumidifiers for people who live with asthma, allergies, and pulmonary conditions. For skin conditions like eczema and hives, the recommendations include air filtration and purification systems.
Our commercial clients frequently seek IAQ solutions to protect customers, employees, and business assets. Maintaining stable indoor humidity and purity levels is critical for preserving equipment and supplies. For example, humidity can cause wood furniture to warp and crack; it can also damage sensitive electronic equipment. Optimal IAQ is crucial in stockrooms for delicate items and supplies.
Before making IAQ equipment recommendations, Fox Heating, Cooling & Plumbing technicians evaluate the ductwork, insulation, and other HVAC components. If technical HVAC issues are present, fixing them will improve IAQ. However, they won’t go as far as comprehensively cleaning or purifying your indoor air.
Our IAQ equipment installations include testing and integration with monitoring systems. If you have an advanced thermostat like the Ecobee Smart Thermostat Premium, we can configure it for IAQ monitoring and alerts. Beyond humidification and purification systems, we can also install High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) and ultraviolet (UV) systems.
