Houston humidity, pollen and dust get into every house. We install equipment that dries and cleans the air through your existing system.
If any of these sound familiar, your system can probably do more for you.
The thermostat says 74°F but it feels warmer. High humidity is the usual cause, and it's common in oversized or single-stage systems.
Oak, grass and ragweed seasons bring sneezing indoors.
Dusting every few days points to weak filtration or leaky returns.
Damp ducts, dirty coils and humidity above 60 percent give mold what it needs. Smells near vents are an early warning.
Cooking, pets and colds linger in closed-up homes.
Poor airflow leaves some rooms stale and uneven.
Whole-home equipment that works through your existing system.
Ties into your ductwork and pulls moisture out of the whole house, even on mild, muggy days when the AC barely runs.
Duct-mounted air and surface purification that works whenever the fan runs.
Installs in existing ductwork to reduce odors, allergens, mold and bacteria.
A 4-inch filter cabinet, MERV 11 and up, that catches far more dust and pollen.
Blower upgrades, return air and duct repairs that even out stuffy rooms.
Damp air feels warmer and holds onto allergens. Dry it out and 76°F can feel better than a muggy 72°F.
Signs your humidity is too high: foggy windows, a clammy feel, musty closets, and condensation on supply vents.
Roughly 40 to 50 percent is comfortable for most Houston homes. Above 60 percent, mold and dust mites thrive and rooms feel clammy even when the thermostat says 74°F.
Often, yes. An AC only dries the air while it's running. On mild, muggy days it may run so little that humidity climbs. A whole-home dehumidifier works independently and keeps humidity in range all year.
They install in your ductwork and treat air every time the fan runs, which helps with odors, airborne particles and some germs. They work best alongside good filtration and humidity control, not instead of it. We'll tell you whether one makes sense for your home.
MERV measures how well a filter catches particles, on a scale of 1 to 16 for home filters. MERV 8 to 11 is a good range for most systems. Higher-MERV filters in a thin 1-inch frame can choke airflow, which is why we often recommend a 4-inch media cabinet.
We'll check humidity, filtration and airflow and tell you which of these would help.
