"George has kept my house cool in the summer and warm in the winter for 10+ years now. They were recommended by a friend and I have, in turn, recommended them to several friends and coworkers. Hard working, locally owned team that make you feel so at ease, they will fix your issue promptly without tacking on unnecessary expenses. They replaced a unit for me a few years ago but they’ve also kept an older unit humming along for years when another company would have said it needed to be replaced on the first call. I had to call them a few weeks ago with an issue in the heat of June. They came and fixed the issue in less than an hour!"

Signs Your Brooklyn Home Has Poor Air Quality
Air quality issues are often invisible but can have significant effects on your health and comfort. If you notice any of these signs, your home may benefit from an IAQ upgrade.
Persistent Allergies
Frequent sneezing, itchy eyes, or congestion while indoors are clear indicators of airborne allergens. Our whole-home purifiers can trap 99% of these microscopic particles.
Excessive Dust Buildup
If you're dusting constantly, your filtration system isn't keeping up. We provide high-efficiency media filters that capture more dust and debris before it settles.
Lingering Odors
Cooking smells or pet odors that don't go away suggest poor ventilation and high VOC levels. Our electronic air cleaners and carbon filters neutralize these odors at the source.
Humidity Extremes
Too much humidity leads to mold, while too little causes dry skin and static. We install whole-home humidifiers and dehumidifiers to maintain the perfect moisture balance.
Visible Mold Growth
Mold around vents or windows indicates a moisture and air quality failure. We provide UV lights and ventilation solutions to stop mold growth and protect your air supply.
Stuffy or Stagnant Air
A lack of fresh air exchange can make a home feel oppressive. We install heat recovery ventilators (HRVs) to bring in filtered outdoor air without losing your home's thermal energy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Your Questions About Indoor Air Quality in Brooklyn, Answered

How do I know if I have poor indoor air quality?
Are whole-home air purifiers better than portable units?
Yes, whole-home systems are much more effective. They integrate directly into your HVAC system to treat the air in every room simultaneously. Portable units only clean the air in a single room and can be noisy and obstructive. Whole-home systems are also more efficient and easier to maintain.
How often should I change my air filters?
Standard 1-inch filters should typically be replaced every 30-90 days. However, high-efficiency media filters or electronic air cleaners may only need maintenance every 6-12 months. Factors like pets, allergies, and local air quality will influence how often your filters need attention.
What does a UV germicidal light do?
UV lights are installed inside your HVAC system to neutralize airborne pathogens like bacteria, viruses, and mold spores as they pass through. This prevents them from recirculating through your home and helps keep your cooling coils clean, improving both health and system efficiency.
Can indoor air quality solutions help with asthma?
Absolutely. By removing common asthma triggers like dust mites, pet dander, and pollen, high-efficiency filtration systems can significantly reduce symptoms for asthma sufferers. Proper humidity control also prevents the growth of mold and mildew, which are major respiratory irritants.
What is the ideal humidity level for a home?
The ideal indoor humidity level is generally between 30% and 50%. Anything higher can encourage mold and dust mite growth, while anything lower can cause dry skin, respiratory issues, and damage to wooden furniture and flooring. Our whole-home humidifiers and dehumidifiers help you maintain this perfect range.
