BREATHE CLEANER, HEALTHIER AIR

Protect Your Home and Family from Indoor Pollutants

The air inside your home can be up to five times more polluted than the air outside. Contaminants like dust, pollen, pet dander, mold spores, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) can circulate through your HVAC system, contributing to allergies, asthma, and other respiratory issues. Improving your home’s indoor air quality (IAQ) is essential for creating a safer, more comfortable, and healthier living environment for your family.

Since 1949, our team has helped homeowners across the Wilmington area identify and eliminate airborne pollutants.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
