So, how do you raise the indoor air quality of your home? Our team can add the required equipment to your existing heating and cooling system, making it a fairly easy upgrade to add an air filtration system, germicidal UV light, HEPA filter, and even humidity control that maintains a constant humidity level in your home for better breathing, help with asthma and allergies, and even reduced energy use. Our duct cleaning helps keep that great clean air from picking up dust, allergens, and other material that has gathered in the ducts. Proper ventilation is also critical for great indoor air quality, and our team will check, repair, and replace your ducts as needed to keep your system working hard.

Good indoor air quality helps you sleep as well as breathe well at home, reducing:

• Lingering odors in the home
• Persistent allergies or respiratory issues
• Dust accumulations in the home
• Concern about airborne illnesses

Your home’s indoor air is a combination of Detroit-area air quality issues, national problems like wildfire smoke and airborne industrial pollutants, and indoor additions such as particulates, chemical vapors, odors, pet dander, mold, and more. That usually makes indoor air worse than outdoor air, a strong argument for indoor air quality management, especially air filtration help. For busy families or those sensitive to illness, UV lights help neutralize airborne germs to keep them from spreading in your ducts.

Do you find that there’s never a perfect temperature in your home where you feel comfortable? One reason might be that your humidity is always off since our area tends to have high humidity that can lead to discomfort. Humidity also affects your breathing, your body’s resistance to respiratory diseases, mold growth, plant health, and more. It also varies according to how much you’re heating or cooling your home. We provide add-on systems that keep your humidity right where you want it, year-round.

Humidifiers vs Dehumidifiers

Southeastern Michigan climate includes pretty constant high humidity, usually from 70 to 80 percent, while the EPA recommends 30-50 percent for comfort and also to avoid condensation, mold growth, and other health hazards. A dehumidifier will bring humidity levels down, while a humidifier adds moisture to raise them. Adding a pair of these to your home’s heating and cooling system allows you to adjust your home’s humidity level and keep it constant, whether you’re cooling, where air conditioning removes some moisture from the air, or heating, which can make the air feel drier. Installation of these devices is straightforward including water and drain connections and a thermostat or smart home humidity control.
