Improved Indoor Air Quality in Newbury Park
Many people think that simply changing the air filter in their homes will improve their indoor air quality. However, most people don’t change the filter often enough to make a big difference in their IAQ. At Southland Heating & Air Conditioning, we find the right filter to make a difference in your air, including size and thickness. HEPA filters are ideal for people with pets in the house or those who have allergies. These filters trap many common allergens, removing them from the air and preventing them from recirculating in the home. For your filter to truly be effective, you may need to couple it with an in-home air filtration system that works with your heating and cooling equipment. Lastly, you need to change your air filter every 30 to 60 days.
There are several good reasons to have a professionally installed air filtration system:
- Remove up to 99.8% of allergens
- Filter out mold spores, bacteria and many airborne viruses
- Cleans the air in your entire house
- Less need to dust your furniture
- Fresher smelling home
The first step in reducing indoor air pollution is improving the filtration system to remove allergens, dust and larger debris.
Air Filtration Systems
Anyone can improve their indoor air quality and living environment with an air filtration system. Paint, cleaning chemicals and many other household products can produce dangerous airborne toxins throughout your home.
Problems caused by unhealthy air in your home:
- Headaches
- Lightheadedness
- Nausea
- Asthma attacks
Unfortunately, children and the elderly are even more susceptible to these indoor air problems. A filtration system can help cleanse the air so you and your family can remain healthy and relaxed in a clean environment. Let us install one for you today!
Air Duct Replacement
If you have an older home or haven’t been diligent about regular ductwork cleaning, the last solution to improve indoor air pollution would be to replace the air ducts in your home. Over time, all the allergens, like pollen, pet hair, dust and mold spores, accumulate in your air ducts and are recirculated in your home. If you don’t have a regular duct cleaning, the accumulation of gunk can affect the integrity of them. Older homes may have ductwork with loose connections, which further contaminates the air. New ducts, tightly fitted by a professional HVAC contractor, can make a big difference in your IAQ, especially when paired with whole-home fans and HAVC UV lights.
We offer an economical standard duct system as well as the new Mylar Anti-Microbial ductwork, which is far superior to standard ducts. By reducing microbes, viruses and bacteria, it is the perfect choice for family members with asthma or allergies. New air ducts can promote healthier air quality for the entire family, including your pets. When you need your air ducts replaced, no one else provides the anti-microbial options and service that we do. Be healthier, give us a call today to schedule an appointment.

UV Lights
Do you have virus protection on your computer? Most people do. However, most people do not have it in their homes, but you should. At Southland Heating & Air Conditioning, we wouldn’t hurt a fly. Mold and bacteria, however, are another story. Let’s face it, the indoor coil of your cooling system is just the kind of place these harmful things like to hang out. Our UV lamps protect the coil, ruthlessly killing off mold, viruses, and bacteria before they can be pushed through the air conditioner and into your home.
Your indoor coil is the part of your air conditioning system where the cooling takes place. It can also be a fertile area for microscopic growth if left unprotected. Remember things that grow in the system can potentially become airborne. Mold and bacteria like to grow in this kind of dark, moist environment. What they do not like is ultraviolet light.
To them, it’s a killer. Where our UV lamps really shine is at minimizing the microbial build-up on coils, improving system efficiency and, most importantly, keeping mold and bacteria out of your system and the air you breathe. UV lights are a great investment. Don’t leave your indoor coil unprotected. A cleaner healthier environment is only a phone call away!
Choosing the Right Air Cleaning System
When it comes to your indoor air quality, there are a ton of options to choose from. Should you opt for a whole-home air filtration system? Do you need a UV light for your AC system? When should you replace your air ducts?
At Southland Heating & Air Conditioning, we can answer all these questions and more. When choosing an air purification or filtration system, first consider the size of the particles you wish to filter out. It’s also a good idea to have your air tested to determine the level of contaminants already inside your home. The results of the test are a great starting point for choosing the right indoor air quality system for your home.
