The air inside your house in Thousand Palms, CA, is probably dirtier than you think. After all, we’re in a desert. There’s dust in the air year-round, pollen in the spring, wildfire smoke in the summer, and almost no humidity.

If your air filtration setup isn’t right, you’ll notice more dust, dry skin, breathing problems, and constant allergy symptoms. At General Air Conditioning & Plumbing, we address indoor air quality in Thousand Palms on a weekly basis, and we have tools that provide lasting solutions.

Most of the calls we get come from people who are just tired of wiping dust off their furniture every other day, or who feel congested even with the windows shut. Others are dealing with smoke smells that won’t go away, or want to figure out the best air purifier for whole homes in Thousand Palms. We install the right equipment that solves these problems directly through your HVAC system.

Why Indoor Air Quality in Thousand Palms Matters

Homes in the desert tend to be sealed tightly to keep the heat out. The problem is that it also traps particles inside. Every time your system runs, it recirculates the same air. If your filter setup isn’t catching much, you’ll keep breathing the same mix of dust, pet dander, and whatever else is floating around. During wildfire season, smoke can slip in through duct leaks or open windows and stick around long after the fire’s out.

We take a full-system approach to indoor air quality in Thousand Palms. That includes better filters, duct inspections (and complete HVAC inspections), air purification, and humidity control when needed. We test, then recommend equipment that fits the problem and the system.

Watch out for these signs of poor indoor air quality:
  • Thin layer of dust every day
  • Dry throat or skin
  • Allergy flare-ups indoors
  • Stale or musty air
  • Dust coming from vents
