Comprehensive Indoor Air Quality Services
Power Pro provides a variety of services and installs advanced products to tackle different aspects of indoor air pollution. Our goal is to offer a layered approach that addresses both the removal of existing pollutants and the prevention of future issues.
Air Purifiers
Air purifiers are standalone or integrated systems that help remove particles and contaminants from the air. They often utilize advanced filtration technologies, such as HEPA filters, which are highly effective at capturing microscopic particles like dust mites, pollen, pet dander, and mold spores. Some air purifiers also incorporate activated carbon filters to help absorb odors and certain chemicals. Installing a whole-home air purification system can provide a continuous level of air cleaning throughout your entire house, offering significant benefits for individuals with allergies or respiratory sensitivities. These systems work by drawing air through the filters and circulating cleaner air back into your home.
Aerus Air Scrubber & Installation
The Aerus Air Scrubber is a state-of-the-art IAQ product that goes beyond traditional filtration. Utilizing ActivePure Technology, originally developed for NASA, the Aerus Air Scrubber actively reduces contaminants in the air and on surfaces. Unlike passive filters that wait for pollutants to reach them, ActivePure sends out purifying molecules that seek out and neutralize airborne pollutants such as viruses, bacteria, mold, fungi, VOCs, and odors.
Installing an Aerus Air Scrubber directly into your HVAC system allows it to purify the air circulating throughout your entire home whenever your heating or cooling system is running. This provides a powerful layer of protection, significantly reducing the presence of harmful pathogens and allergens in your indoor environment. It's particularly effective at reducing common household odors and addressing contaminants on surfaces like countertops and doorknobs.
Filter Replacement
One of the simplest yet most crucial aspects of maintaining good IAQ and HVAC system health is regular filter replacement. The air filter in your furnace or air handler captures dust, dirt, and other airborne particles before they can enter your system's components or recirculate into your home. A dirty filter restricts airflow, forcing your system to work harder and reducing its efficiency. More importantly, a clogged filter becomes less effective at trapping pollutants, leading to a buildup of contaminants in your ducts and circulating air.
Replacing your HVAC filter regularly, typically every 1-3 months depending on the filter type and household conditions (like pets or allergies), is essential. Power Pro can help you determine the right type of filter for your system and your specific IAQ needs, and advise on a proper replacement schedule. We also offer professional filter replacement services to ensure it's done correctly.
Duct Cleaning
Over time, dust, debris, allergens, pet dander, and even mold can accumulate inside your home's ductwork. Every time your HVAC system cycles on, these accumulated pollutants can be blown back into your living spaces, contributing to poor air quality and potential health issues. Musty odors or visible dust around supply vents can be indicators that your ducts may need cleaning.
Duct cleaning is the process of removing these contaminants from your heating and cooling system's air ducts. Using specialized equipment, our technicians access and thoroughly clean the ductwork, removing buildup that regular filter changes cannot address. Clean ducts mean cleaner air circulating through your home and can also contribute to improved system efficiency and reduced energy costs. It's an important step in a comprehensive IAQ strategy, especially after renovations or if you've recently moved into an older home.
Thermostats (Including Smart Options)
While thermostats primarily control temperature, modern and smart thermostats can also play a role in managing indoor air quality. Advanced models allow for precise control over fan operation, enabling you to run the fan continuously or on a schedule even when heating or cooling isn't needed. Continuous fan operation helps circulate air through your system's filter or integrated air purification system, providing ongoing air cleaning.
Some smart thermostats can also monitor indoor humidity levels, which are critical for IAQ. High humidity can promote mold and mildew growth, while excessively low humidity can dry out nasal passages and make you more susceptible to illness. A smart thermostat can integrate with humidifiers or dehumidifiers to maintain optimal indoor humidity levels. By upgrading your thermostat, you gain greater control over your home's climate and air circulation, contributing to a healthier indoor environment.
Why Address Indoor Air Quality in Costa Mesa?
Costa Mesa's coastal climate is generally mild, but it still presents unique challenges for indoor air quality. Pollen counts can be high during certain seasons, and humidity fluctuations can sometimes encourage mold growth. Homes can also trap indoor-generated pollutants from cooking, cleaning products, building materials, and everyday activities. Effectively managing IAQ helps create a healthier buffer against both outdoor environmental factors and indoor pollution sources.
- Improved indoor air quality offers numerous benefits:
- Health: Reduced exposure to allergens and pathogens can help alleviate symptoms of allergies, asthma, and other respiratory conditions.
- Comfort: Cleaner air is simply more pleasant to breathe, reducing odors and stuffiness.
- System Efficiency: Clean filters and ductwork allow your HVAC system to operate more efficiently, potentially lowering energy bills and extending the life of your equipment.
- Reduced Dusting: While not a primary benefit, reducing airborne particles can often lead to less dust settling on surfaces.
