Indoor Air Quality
Breathe Cleaner, Healthier Air in Your Home
Did you know the air inside your home can be up to five times more polluted than the air outside? Your home is a sealed environment where dust, allergens, viruses, and chemical pollutants can become trapped and recirculated by your HVAC system. These airborne contaminants can trigger allergies, worsen asthma, and impact the overall health and comfort of your family.
At Kearns HVAC, we believe your home should be a sanctuary of clean, fresh air. We offer a comprehensive suite of advanced indoor air quality (IAQ) solutions designed to eliminate pollutants and help you take control of your indoor environment. It's time to stop worrying about what you're breathing and start enjoying a healthier, more comfortable home.
Whole-Home Air Filtration Systems
If you or your family members suffer from allergies or asthma, a whole-home air filtration system can be life-changing. Standard 1-inch furnace filters only capture a fraction of the particles circulating in your air. Our advanced media air cleaners are installed directly into your HVAC system to capture up to 99% of airborne contaminants before they ever reach your lungs.
These powerful systems effectively trap:
- Dust and dust mites
- Pollen and ragweed
- Pet dander
- Mold and mildew spores
By removing these irritants, an air filtration system not only helps reduce allergy and asthma symptoms but also keeps your entire home cleaner and fresher.
Humidifiers & Dehumidifiers
The moisture level in your air plays a critical role in your comfort and health. Kansas City’s weather creates a dual problem: dry, harsh air in the winter and sticky, humid air in the summer.
- Whole-Home Humidifiers: In the winter, dry indoor air can cause dry skin, scratchy throats, static shock, and can even damage wood floors and furniture. A whole-home humidifier works with your furnace to add the perfect amount of moisture to the air, improving comfort and helping to reduce the spread of certain viruses.
- Whole-Home Dehumidifiers: In the summer, excess humidity makes the air feel sticky and can promote the growth of mold and mildew. A whole-home dehumidifier removes this excess moisture, helping your home feel cooler and more comfortable while protecting it from potential mold damage.
Benefits of a Whole-Home Humidifier (For Dry Winters):
- Improves Health: Helps relieve dry skin, scratchy throats, and sinus irritation.
- Increases Comfort: Reduces annoying static shock and makes the air feel warmer.
- Protects Your Home: Prevents wood floors, furniture, and cabinetry from cracking and warping.
Benefits of a Whole-Home Dehumidifier (For Humid Summers):
- Enhances Comfort: Eliminates that sticky, clammy feeling, helping your home feel cooler.
- Prevents Mold Growth: Reduces moisture to inhibit the growth of mold, mildew, and dust mites.
- Improves Air Quality: Helps remove musty odors associated with damp environments.
- Increases AC Efficiency: Reduces the workload on your air conditioner, which can help lower energy bills.
UV Air Purifiers
Some of the most harmful pollutants in your home are microscopic organisms like bacteria, viruses, and mold spores. These germs thrive in the cool, dark environment of your ductwork and can be spread throughout your home every time your HVAC system runs. A UV (ultraviolet) air purifier is your silent defense against these invisible threats.
Installed directly inside your ductwork, a UV germicidal lamp uses powerful UV-C light to scramble the DNA of microorganisms, rendering them harmless. This is the same technology trusted by hospitals to sterilize air and equipment. A UV purifier works silently and continuously to “scrub” the air clean of biological contaminants.
Key benefits of a UV Air Purifier include:
- Kills Airborne Germs: Neutralizes up to 99.9% of airborne viruses and bacteria that can pass through your HVAC system.
- Prevents Mold & Mildew: Destroys mold and mildew spores on contact, preventing their growth on your system's damp indoor coil.
- Reduces Odors: Helps eliminate musty, organic odors caused by biological growth within your ductwork.
- Improves System Efficiency: Keeps your AC coil cleaner, which helps maintain optimal performance and airflow.
- Works Silently & Continuously: Provides 24/7 protection, purifying the air every time your HVAC system runs.
- Uses Proven Technology: Employs the same germicidal UV-C light technology trusted for sterilization in hospitals and laboratories.
Professional Duct Cleaning
Your air ducts are the lungs of your home, circulating all the air you breathe. Over years of use, they can accumulate a significant amount of dust, dirt, pet hair, and other debris. This buildup not only becomes a breeding ground for allergens and bacteria but can also restrict airflow, forcing your HVAC system to work harder and less efficiently.
Our professional duct cleaning service uses powerful, specialized equipment to safely remove years of accumulated contaminants from your ductwork. The result is cleaner air, improved HVAC efficiency, and the removal of musty odors, creating a fresher and healthier indoor environment.
Key benefits of Professional Duct Cleaning include:
- Removes Trapped Contaminants: Eliminates years of built-up dust, pet dander, pollen, and other debris from your air ducts.
- Reduces Airborne Allergens: Helps create a healthier environment by reducing common irritants that can trigger allergy and asthma symptoms.
- Improves HVAC System Efficiency: Enhances airflow by removing blockages, allowing your system to run more efficiently and potentially lowering your energy bills.
- Eliminates Musty Odors: Removes the source of stubborn, musty smells that can originate from dust and mildew within the ductwork.
- Creates a Cleaner Home: Contributes to a cleaner living environment by significantly reducing the amount of dust that circulates and settles on surfaces.
- Ensures a Deep, Professional Clean: Utilizes high-powered vacuums and specialized tools that provide a level of cleaning far beyond what standard methods can achieve.
