Other Types of air quality solutions icon

Other than an air scrubber, there are several effective solutions for improving indoor air quality. One of the most common and simple methods is to use a high-quality air filter with a MERV rating of 10 or higher in your HVAC system to trap more particles like dust, pollen, and pet dander. Call us today at (818) 341-3406 to see how we can help you find the best air quality solution for your home. Furthermore, for homes in humid climates, a whole-house dehumidifier is crucial for controlling moisture levels, which inhibits the growth of mold and dust mites, a primary cause of allergies.

HVAC Installation

Most HVAC systems have a lifetime of 10 to 20 years. As your equipment gets older, its efficiency can decrease dramatically. You may notice that it gets noisier and needs repairs more often. When a unit begins to show its age, you can either repair or replace it. Because heating and air conditioning technology improves over time, a unit designed with newer, more energy-efficient equipment makes sense, especially if your system is 10 or more years old. We install all major makes and models.
