How to Improve Indoor Air Quality in Your Home

April 10, 2024 By Michael Diaz

With Americans spending 90% of their time indoors, air quality matters more than ever. Your HVAC system plays a crucial role in filtering and circulating air throughout your Redlands home. Here's how to breathe easier:

1. Upgrade Your Air Filters

Standard 1-inch filters only catch large particles. We recommend MERV 8-13 filters that capture smaller allergens and pollutants without restricting airflow.

2. Consider UV Light Purification

UV lights installed in your ductwork kill mold, bacteria, and viruses. Our sanitizing systems eliminate up to 99.9% of airborne pathogens.

3. Maintain Proper Humidity

Ideal indoor humidity is 30-50%. Whole-home humidifiers/dehumidifiers integrated with your HVAC system provide precise control.

4. Ventilate Effectively

Energy recovery ventilators (ERVs) bring in fresh air without losing conditioned air, perfect for newer, tightly-sealed homes.

5. Regular Duct Cleaning

Over time, ducts accumulate dust, pet dander, and contaminants. Professional cleaning every 3-5 years improves airflow and air quality.
