The sad fact is that most people don't take their IAQ (indoor air quality) enough into consideration when they choose to do home improvements or upgrade their comfort systems.
When in reality, it's one of the most important aspects of your home for your health and well being. Indoor air is often times more polluted than the air outdoors, and because humans on average spend up to 90% of our time indoors, it's something to consider carefully. If the air we are breathing in our homes is dirty and polluted, and we spend most of our time indoors, that cant be good for your health. Ready to improve your indoor air quality?

AprilAire whole-house air purifiers eradicate airborne viruses, reduce the proliferation of respiratory irritants and allergy and asthma triggers, and eliminate odors from cooking, pets, and tobacco smoke for fresher, cleaner air. Lengthen your HVAC system’s life and improve your home’s energy-efficiency by reducing dust buildup.
There is no single "best" indoor air quality product - the right setup depends on what you are trying to fix. For homes dealing with viruses, mold spores, and persistent odors, the iWave-V uses needlepoint bipolar ionization installed inside the duct system to neutralize particles and odors at the air handler. For homes focused on allergens like pollen, dust, and pet dander, AprilAire whole-home air purifiers and high-efficiency media filters with a MERV 13 or higher rating capture fine particulate before it circulates.
For biological growth on the coil and the musty smell that can come with it, UV-C germicidal lights mounted near the indoor coil reduce biofilm and airborne microbes. For comfort, whole-house humidifiers add moisture during dry NC winters and whole-house dehumidifiers pull excess humidity in the summer when the AC alone cannot keep up. For tightly sealed homes that need controlled fresh air, HRV and ERV ventilation systems exchange stale indoor air for filtered outdoor air without losing heating or cooling efficiency. Our technicians help you pick the right combination for your home, layout, and HVAC system.
In the Raleigh-Durham area, the most common causes are high summer humidity, pollen, dust, pet dander, off-gassing from carpets and furniture, and biological growth on HVAC coils when humidity is left unmanaged. Tight modern construction also traps these pollutants indoors, where you spend most of your time.
Yes, for particulate allergens like pollen, dust, pet dander, and mold spores. A high-efficiency media filter with a MERV 13 or higher rating, combined with a whole-home air purifier, removes fine particles before they reach your living space. Results show up fastest when the system runs regularly and the filter is changed on schedule.
For most NC homes, MERV 11 to 13 is the sweet spot - high enough to capture pollen, fine dust, and pet dander without choking airflow through your HVAC system. Hospital-grade MERV 16 and HEPA filters need a system designed for the extra static pressure; ask us before swapping in a high-rated filter to make sure your blower can handle it.
Coil-mounted UV-C lights are effective at reducing biofilm, mold, and bacteria growth on the indoor coil and drain pan, which improves system efficiency and helps eliminate musty odors. They are not a one-size-fits-all solution for airborne viruses, but they pair well with high-MERV filtration and bipolar ionization for layered air quality.
For standard 1-inch pleated filters, every 1 to 3 months. Check monthly during heavy heating or cooling use, when pollen counts spike, or if anyone in the home has allergies or asthma. High-efficiency media filters in a dedicated cabinet (like AprilAire) typically last 6 to 12 months.
