Indoor Air Quality Experts in Indio
If you’re looking to improve your air quality and reduce indoor allergens in your Indio home, you have two main options. Air filters and UV treatment. Air filters are usually rated as either MERV or HEPA filters. MERV (Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value) filters are rated on a scale of 1-16, and are good for general air quality improvement. They’re useful as a first line of defence against dust, pollen, and other general contaminants.
A 13-rated MERV filter, for example, is a suitable option for removing most small particles and enhancing your home’s air quality. Many MERV filters are washable, making them relatively easy to care for. In contrast, HEPA filters can capture at least 99.97% of particles as small as 0.3 microns. This makes them far more effective than MERV filters, and they’re often used in healthcare environments because they can filter out many viruses and bacteria.
Most HEPA filters cannot be washed because they have very fine fibers that would be damaged in the process. However, some manufacturers do make washable HEPA filters. We install whole-home air purifiers and HEPA filters in Indio, helping you breathe more easily and feel fresh and alert at home.
Our air filtration systems can remove:
- Pollen

What IAQ solutions eliminate odors?
In addition to filters, our indoor air quality solutions also include UV treatment to kill microorganisms and reduce odors in your home. There are two primary ways to achieve this goal. Air stream UV solutions treat the air as it travels through your ductwork. In contrast, attaching a UV light to the evaporator coil will help prevent mold growth on the coil.
The solution that works best for you depends on the specific issues you’re experiencing with your air quality. Most air conditioning systems experience a significant amount of moisture buildup in the evaporator coil area. Treating this area to prevent the growth of mold and mildew is a good idea. Before treating the air, however, it’s a good idea to check whether any duct cleaning or repair is necessary.
Running UV lamps doesn’t cost a lot, so it may be worth adding UV lights to both the coil and the evaporator system to fully sanitize the air. The airstream lamps can be configured to activate only when the blower is running, helping keep the operating costs as low as possible, especially when paired with a smart thermostat.
To help you manage the cost of a new air purification system, we offer flexible finance plans, subject to approved credit. Our monthly payment plans are affordable and give you the opportunity to enjoy clean, filtered air today without a significant impact on your family’s finances.
