Here in Charlottesville, VA, ozone and particle pollution are some of the top concerns for residents. These airborne contaminants are prevalent outside and can easily get indoors, leading to poor indoor air quality.
At Albemarle Heating, Air & Plumbing, our team specializes in providing powerful indoor air quality solutions for families in Albemarle, Fluvanna, Louisa, Nelson, Augusta, Madison, Greene, and Orange counties.
With upfront pricing and unparalleled peace of mind guarantees, you can count on us for an easy, stress-free experience every step of the way.
When it comes to improving indoor air quality, whole-home air filters offer a powerful, low-maintenance solution that treats the air throughout your entire home — unlike portable air purifiers, which only clean the air in a single room.
Whole-home systems are installed directly into your HVAC system for consistent, quiet, and efficient air purification.
Types of Air Purifiers
There are a few air purifier options, including:
HEPA filtration systems capture 99.97% of airborne particles as small as 0.3 microns, including dust, pollen, pet dander, and some bacteria.
Carbon media air cleaners use activated carbon to absorb odors, smoke, and volatile organic compounds, helping to freshen indoor air.
AprilAire Air Scrubber Plus actively removes airborne contaminants and surface pathogens using a combination of UV light and catalytic technology.
A whole-home humidifier is an HVAC-integrated device designed to maintain optimal humidity levels throughout your entire home.
It works by adding moisture directly into the airflow of your heating system, distributing it evenly across every room. This helps prevent common issues associated with dry indoor air, especially during winter. We install high-quality AprilAire humidifiers.
Symptoms of Low Humidity
Low indoor humidity can lead to a range of problems, including:
Dry skin
Irritated sinuses
Static electricity
Damage to wood furniture and flooring
It can also make your home feel colder than it is, leading to higher energy bills as you crank up the heat.
Whole-Home Dehumidifier Installation
Whole-home dehumidifiers are connected to your AC system and help eliminate excess moisture from the air as it circulates through your home.
It helps maintain a balanced indoor humidity level by drawing in humid air, extracting moisture, and then returning drier air into your living space.
Symptoms of High Humidity
High humidity can lead to a host of issues, including:
Musty odors
Mold and mildew growth
Warped wood
Increased allergens like dust mites
It can also make your home feel sticky and uncomfortable while putting added strain on your air conditioner.
Ductwork Services
Our team offers expert ductwork installation and repair, helping to maintain efficient airflow and indoor comfort in your home. Over time, ducts can develop issues like leaks, loose connections, blockages, or damage from pests or corrosion.
Common causes of duct problems include:
Poor installation
Wear and tear with age
Physical damage
Pest infiltration
Duct Replacement vs. Repair
You may need duct repair if you have minor leaks, disconnected sections, or insulation issues. However, if your ductwork is over 15 years old, severely damaged, or improperly sized for your HVAC system, duct replacement may be the better long-term solution to improve energy efficiency and comfort.
