What Homeowners Should Know

There is no single indoor air quality upgrade that is best for every home. A smoke-affected home may benefit most from better filtration and air purification, while a humid home may need dehumidification or ventilation improvements. A dusty home may require duct inspection, sealing, or filter changes. The most effective plan starts with identifying the main concern and reviewing how the HVAC system moves air. Common upgrades include high-efficiency filters, air purifiers, UV lights, duct cleaning, duct sealing, ventilation systems, humidifiers, and dehumidifiers.

The best improvements depend on the home's filtration, ventilation, humidity, and specific air quality concerns.
