Improving your home’s indoor air quality (IAQ) is essential for creating a safer, more comfortable, and healthier living environment for your family.

ANSWERS TO YOUR QUESTIONS
Indoor Air Quality FAQs
We understand you may have questions about improving your home’s air quality. Here are answers to some of the most common inquiries we receive from homeowners in the Wilmington area.
What are the most common signs of poor indoor air quality?
Common signs include persistent dust, musty odors, excessive humidity, and an increase in allergy or asthma symptoms among household members. You may also notice condensation on windows or visible mold growth.
How often should I change my HVAC air filter?
For standard 1-inch filters, we recommend changing them every 1-3 months. For high-efficiency media filters, replacement is typically needed every 6-12 months. The frequency depends on factors like pets, smokers, and local air quality.
Can indoor air quality solutions help with my allergies?
Absolutely. Whole-home air purifiers, high-efficiency filters, and professional duct cleaning are highly effective at capturing and removing common allergens like pollen, pet dander, dust mites, and mold spores from your home’s air.
What is the ideal humidity level for a home?
The ideal indoor humidity level is generally between 30% and 50%. A whole-home humidifier or dehumidifier can help you automatically maintain this range year-round for improved comfort and health.
How does duct cleaning improve air quality?
Duct cleaning removes the buildup of dust, debris, and allergens that accumulate in your ventilation system over time. This prevents these contaminants from being recirculated into the air you breathe every time your HVAC system runs.
