Our Services for Indoor Air Quality in Indianapolis
We offer a variety of services for learning more about your home’s air quality and remedying any issues.
Give us a call for:
- Residential inspection. Our technicians perform a thorough air quality inspection of your home for possible sources of airborne contaminants. We may make recommendations about how to cut down on potential sources of pollution. We may also recommend ways to assist airflow and ventilation.
- Air purifier installation and maintenance. Air purifiers trap even tiny pollutants, cleaning the air in your home. If you struggle with air quality or someone in your home has a respiratory issue, we can recommend an air purifier for your home. If you already have an air purifier, we can maintain and repair it to help keep your air clean.
- Air handler installation and maintenance. Air handlers increase airflow and ventilation in your home. You may need air handler repairs to get rid of mustiness in far-flung rooms.
- Humidity control. Between humid summers and cold, dry winters, Indianapolis residents can benefit from humidity control. High humidity can increase the likelihood of mold and bacteria growth while dry air in the winter may exacerbate respiratory conditions. We offer installation and maintenance for both whole-home humidifiers and whole-home dehumidifiers.
- Air filter replacement. When we do work on your HVAC, we can also replace old filters. This ensures that your system isn’t struggling to work through a dirty filter. Dirty filters are also less effective at removing pollutants from the air.
- Air quality booster product installation. Our technicians employ a variety of products to help improve your indoor air quality. We can recommend one or a combination of services for your home. Our products include the MicroPower Guard Air Cleaner, which removes particles from the air, and the bacteria- and odor-fighting OxyQuantum UV sterilization system.
VOCs and Other Potential Causes of Poor Air Quality
Volatile Organic Compounds, or VOCs, are the most common cause of poor indoor air quality. Certain organic compounds release chemicals that can be harmful to your health. VOCs come from a range of household items, including, among others, gas appliances, scented candles, air fresheners, household cleaners, upholstery, carpeting, paint and paint thinners, glues, caulks, varnishes, and cigarettes. Reducing the VOCs in your home can make it easier to keep the air clean.

Indoor Air Quality Indianapolis, IN FAQs
Who can test the air quality in your home?
There are home air quality testing kits that allow some insight for homeowners. However, we recommend getting your air quality tested by an indoor air quality testing professional. Once you have your results, we can help you minimize sources of indoor pollution.
Does humidity affect air quality?
Yes, humidity is a part of your indoor air quality. Overly humid air can trap pollutants and discourage air flow through your home. It can also create a breeding ground for bacteria, viruses, and mold. Too-dry air may foster viruses and bacteria that cause illness and potentially contribute to certain health issues, like nosebleeds. Ideally, your home should stay between 30 and 50 percent humidity.
What cleans the air in your home?
Air purifiers can trap everything from airborne chemicals to pollen and pollutants. If you struggle with keeping the air in your home clean, a purifier can help keep things breathable.
Your furnace and air conditioner filters trap larger contaminants like dust, preventing them from floating around your home. Change air filters at least every 90 days, or more often as necessary.
Cycling fresh air through your system is also important to maintaining good indoor air quality. Outside, there’s much more room for chemicals and pollutants to disperse. Indoors, these contaminants remain trapped and their concentration levels rise. Open doors and windows for at least a few minutes every week to introduce fresh air to your home.
