Florida homes are built tight to keep cool air in, which also traps humidity, dust, pet dander and the compounds released by cleaning products and furniture. Healthy indoor air starts with controlling moisture, then adds filtration and purification where it helps.

Humidity comes first

Mold needs moisture. Keeping indoor relative humidity between 40 and 55 percent prevents most mold and dust mite problems. A properly sized AC does much of this, and a whole-home dehumidifier closes the gap when the thermostat is satisfied but the house still feels damp.

Filtration and purification

Upgraded media filters capture more particles than standard filters. UV lights at the coil inhibit growth on the wet surface. Air purifiers address odors and gases. We recommend only what your home actually needs.
