Indoor Air Quality Testing & Assessment
The first step to solving an IAQ problem is understanding what's in your air. We offer professional testing services to measure levels of common pollutants. This assessment helps us pinpoint specific issues, such as high levels of allergens, VOCs, carbon monoxide, or excessive particulate matter. Based on the results of the testing, we can develop a customized plan to purify and improve your home's air.
Air Purification Systems
Air purifiers work by filtering or neutralizing airborne contaminants. We offer various types of Air Purifiers. (Indoor Air Quality) designed to capture particles like dust, pollen, pet dander, and mold spores. Installing a whole-home air purification system can significantly reduce the concentration of these irritants throughout your house.
Featured Product: Aerus Air Scrubber
As part of our advanced Indoor Air Quality. (Indoor Air Quality) offerings, we feature the Aerus Air Scrubber by Aerus (formerly ActivTek). This innovative system goes beyond standard filtration. Using ActivePure® Technology, originally developed for NASA, the Air Scrubber actively sends purifying oxidizers out into your home's air. It works to reduce viruses, bacteria, mold, and fungi on surfaces and in the air. It also helps eliminate common allergens, dust, and odors, making it a powerful tool for comprehensive air and surface purification in your Los Alamitos home.
Duct Cleaning
Your HVAC ductwork acts as the lungs of your home, circulating air throughout. Over time, dust, dirt, allergens, pet dander, and even mold can accumulate inside the ducts. When your HVAC system runs, these pollutants are blown into your living spaces. Professional Duct Cleaning. (Duct Cleaning) removes this buildup, reducing the amount of circulating dust and allergens, improving airflow, and potentially enhancing the efficiency of your AC Repair(AC Repair), AC Replacement(AC Replacement), AC Installation(AC Installation), Furnace Repair(Furnace Repair), or Furnace Installation(Furnace Installation) system.
Advanced Filtration
Upgrading your air filters is one of the simplest yet most effective ways to improve IAQ. We can help you select and install filters with higher MERV (Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value) ratings that capture smaller particles more effectively than standard filters. Regular Filter Replacement, (Indoor Air Quality) according to recommended schedules is crucial for maintaining optimal performance.
Ventilation Solutions
While filtering and purifying are important, bringing in fresh outdoor air and exhausting stale indoor air is also key to healthy IAQ. We can assess your home's ventilation and recommend solutions, such as energy recovery ventilators (ERVs) or heat recovery ventilators (HRVs), which efficiently exchange indoor air with fresh outdoor air while minimizing energy loss.
Humidity Control
Both excessive humidity and overly dry air can negatively impact your home's air quality and comfort. High humidity can encourage mold growth, while dry air can irritate respiratory passages and skin. We offer solutions including humidifiers and dehumidifiers to help you maintain optimal humidity levels year-round, creating a more comfortable and healthier indoor environment.
UV Light Air Purification
UV-C light technology can be installed within your ductwork or HVAC system to kill or inactivate airborne microorganisms like mold spores, bacteria, and viruses as they pass through. This is a chemical-free method for continuously reducing biological contaminants in your home's air.
