Indoor Air Quality Solutions
Filtration, ventilation and humidity control for homes with dust, allergy or stuffiness problems.
Indoor air quality work is a balance between filtration and airflow. A very dense filter in a system that was not designed for it restricts return air, which lowers capacity, raises energy use and can freeze a coil. The fix is a filter with enough surface area — usually a deeper media cabinet — rather than a thicker one-inch filter.
Humidity is the other half of comfort. Air at 78°F and 45% relative humidity feels better than air at 74°F and 65%, and it costs less to produce. Correct system sizing and run time do most of that work; dedicated dehumidification handles the rest in humid climates.
Tight, well-insulated homes hold pollutants in as effectively as they hold conditioned air. Controlled fresh-air ventilation brings in outdoor air on purpose, filtered and tempered, instead of relying on random leaks.
What the visit covers
- Whole-home media filtration sized to your airflow

Questions
Indoor Air Quality questions
Common questions about Indoor Air Quality. Anything else, call (602) 203-2395.
Not covered here? Ask us directly — describing the symptom over the phone is usually faster than reading about it.
(602) 203-2395Once a year for a single-function system (cooling or heating), and twice a year for a heat pump or a system that does both, since it runs year-round. Manufacturers commonly require documented annual maintenance for warranty coverage — check the paperwork for your equipment.
A one-inch filter typically needs replacing every 1–3 months, sooner with pets or during heavy use. Thicker four- or five-inch media filters usually last 6–12 months. A filter that is dark across its whole surface is overdue, and a restricted filter costs you capacity and efficiency immediately.
Age, repair history and the cost of the specific repair drive the decision. A system past 12–15 years with a major component failure (compressor, heat exchanger) is usually worth replacing; a newer system with a failed capacitor or contactor is worth repairing. You should always be given both numbers and left to choose.
