Your Comprehensive Approach to Cleaner Air
At Power Pro Plumbing Heating & Air, we don't believe in one-size-fits-all solutions for indoor air quality. We offer a range of services and products designed to tackle specific problems and improve overall air health. Our approach often begins with assessment and then moves to tailored solutions.
Understanding Your Air: Indoor Air Quality Testing
The most effective way to address IAQ issues is to first understand exactly what you're dealing with. Professional Indoor Air Quality Testing can provide invaluable insights, identifying specific pollutants and their concentrations. We can test for a variety of contaminants, giving you a clear picture of your home's air health. This step is vital for recommending the most effective purification, filtration, or ventilation strategies.
Advanced Air Purification and Filtration
Once we understand your specific needs, we can recommend solutions to capture or neutralize airborne contaminants.
- High-Efficiency Filtration: Upgrading your HVAC system's air filters to a higher MERV rating can significantly improve particle capture, trapping more dust, pollen, pet dander, and mold spores before they circulate through your home. We can help you choose the right filters for your system and needs.
- Air Purifiers: Standalone or whole-home air purification systems use various technologies, such as HEPA filters and activated carbon, to remove fine particles, odors, and certain chemicals from the air.
- Aerus Air Scrubbers: For a more proactive approach, we offer advanced systems like the Aerus Air Scrubber. Utilizing ActivePure Technology, originally developed for use in space, the Aerus Air Scrubber goes beyond traditional filtration. It actively sends purifying ions out into your living space to reduce contaminants not only in the air but also on surfaces. This system is particularly effective at reducing bacteria, viruses, mold, and odors throughout your home environment.
Improving Air Circulation and Removing Buildup: Duct Cleaning
Your home's ductwork acts as the circulatory system for your HVAC unit, distributing conditioned air throughout your house. Over time, dust, allergens, pet dander, and even mold can accumulate inside these ducts. Every time your system runs, these contaminants can be blown back into your living spaces, contributing to poor IAQ.
Professional duct cleaning removes this buildup, leading to cleaner air, reduced allergens, and often improved airflow and system efficiency. Our process involves using specialized tools to loosen debris within the ductwork and then using a powerful vacuum system to remove it completely.
Smart Control for Better Air: Thermostats
Modern thermostats, especially smart and programmable models, can play a role in managing your home's air quality. Beyond controlling temperature, some advanced thermostats can help manage ventilation systems or integrate with IAQ accessories to monitor and control humidity levels, which is crucial for preventing mold growth. We offer installation and service for thermostats that can contribute to a healthier and more comfortable indoor environment.
