Frequently Asked Questions About Indoor Air Quality

Your Air Quality Questions Answered

Common signs include excessive dust accumulation, persistent odors, allergy symptoms indoors, frequent illness, visible mold, humidity problems, and stale air feeling. Our 38 years of combined experience shows most homes benefit from air quality improvements. Professional testing identifies specific needs, but if family members suffer allergies or respiratory issues, IAQ solutions provide significant relief.

Standard 1" filters primarily protect HVAC equipment, capturing only large particles. Aprilaire air cleaners use media filters up to 5" thick, capturing particles 10x smaller including bacteria, viruses, and allergens. They last 6-12 months versus monthly changes, provide superior filtration without restricting airflow, and actually improve system efficiency while protecting your health.

Yes! UV-C light destroys microorganism DNA, preventing reproduction. Premiere One UV systems kill 99.9% of mold, bacteria, and viruses passing through your HVAC system. They work continuously, require no chemicals, and prevent growth on coils where moisture creates ideal breeding grounds. Hospital-grade technology now protects residential homes effectively.

Maintenance varies by system: air cleaner filters need replacement every 6-12 months, UV bulbs last 1-2 years, and humidifiers require annual service. Compare this to changing 1" filters monthly. Our maintenance plans include automatic scheduling and reminders. Regular service ensures continued performance and health protection.

Yes! Most IAQ solutions integrate seamlessly with existing heating and cooling systems. We evaluate your current equipment during consultation, ensuring compatibility. Air cleaners mount in return ducts, UV lights install near coils, and controls integrate with thermostats. Professional installation ensures optimal performance without compromising HVAC efficiency.

Most installations complete in 2-4 hours. Air cleaners typically take 2 hours, UV lights 1-2 hours, and combination systems 3-4 hours. We work efficiently while maintaining quality, protecting your home throughout. Complex installations or multiple systems may require additional time. We provide accurate estimates during consultation.

Installation locations vary by equipment type. Air cleaners mount in return air ducts before furnaces/air handlers. UV lights install near evaporator coils or in supply ducts. Humidifiers connect to supply plenums. Our technicians determine optimal placement for effectiveness, accessibility, and aesthetics during installation planning.

Improvements are dramatic. Aprilaire filters remove up to 99% of airborne particles, while UV systems eliminate 99.9% of biological contaminants. Customers report 50-75% reduction in allergy symptoms, significantly less dust, elimination of odors, and reduced illness frequency. Professional testing documents specific improvements.

Quality air cleaners like Aprilaire are designed to maintain proper airflow. Their larger surface area provides superior filtration without restriction. Proper sizing and installation ensure your system operates efficiently. Unlike dense 1" filters that clog quickly, media filters maintain airflow throughout their service life.
