It might seem counterintuitive, but the air inside your home in Evansville, IN is most likely dirtier than the air outside. You’re going to spend the vast majority of your time indoors. So, it behooves you to ensure the indoor air quality of your home through proper ventilation. Pollution loves excess humidity. The right HVAC system will help you control that humidity, and its filters will help improve the indoor air quality of your home, too.

Correct Ventilation in Your Home
To maintain indoor air quality and to remain cool, you must not obstruct the airflow in your home.
Here are some things that we’ll do to ensure you get that correct ventilation.
- Calculate the number of cubic feet of space in your home
- Examine your walls for efficient places to put ductwork
- Clean any existing ductwork thoroughly
- Check the air for particulates and recommend adequate filters
Having a Combination of Filters
It’s always better to have more than one filter than one big one. That way, if one quits or needs repair, then the others can continue working. Also, no one filter is a panacea against microbes and dust. If you have multiple filters, then they will all work together to improve your home’s air quality.
Whole-House Fans in Evansville
A whole-house fan pulls air from outside your home, creates a strong breeze, and then vents it out the attic. You use such a fan during the evening when air is cooler. We’ll make sure that you have the right number of attic vents to optimize the performance of your whole-house fan. That will not only keep you cool but will also reduce your electric bill.
Alleviating Dryness With Humidifiers
In some cases, your home can be too dry, which is also unhealthy for any number of reasons. These include nosebleeds, sore throat, and a higher level of stress. When this happens, we’ll recommend a humidifier. We’ll either install it separately or attach it to your existing HVAC system. In either case, we’ll balance its output so that your home doesn’t become too humid.
Dehumidifiers and Indoor Air Quality
Excessive dampness provides microbes with an environment conducive to massive growth. Keeping the humidity at a medium level in your home will control that growth. You don’t want humidity of 70% or more, but you also don’t want less than 30%. We’ll check your air quality. Then, we’ll make sure the device we offer balances with the space in your home. Of course, we’ll also take Evansville’s natural humidity into account.
Different Kinds of Air Purifiers
An air purifier helps remove microbes and dust from the air, but it’s not a filter. Some use an electric field that bonds microbes and dust to ions in the air. The opposite charge of the device attracts the dust. Others use puffy charcoal filters to remove dust and other disagreeable things from the air. Still others use ultraviolet light, which sterilizes the microbes and makes them harmless.
UV Lights and the Air
We’ll help you figure out how many UV lights you need. We’ll also recommend the best places to put them throughout your home. Not only will these lights remove harmful microbes, but they will also control mold and reduce odors in your home.
