Indoor air quality

Salt Lake spends part of every winter under an inversion. Your filter is the last thing between that and your living room.


Filtration that actually fits

A one-inch filter jammed into a return grille can restrict airflow and catch less than expected. A properly sized media cabinet can catch far more and costs the system less static pressure. In a valley that traps PM2.5 for weeks at a time, that difference is worth having.

Humidity, both directions

Utah air is dry enough that winter humidification is a comfort and a woodwork issue, not a luxury. Whole-home humidifiers tied to the duct system beat running units room by room.

Purification, honestly

Some air purification products do real work and some are marketing. We'll tell you which is which for your house rather than attaching whatever has the best spiff.

FAQ

Indoor air quality — common questions

Will a better filter help during inversion season?
A properly sized media filter or higher-MERV cabinet can make a real difference on fine particulate. Cramming a high-MERV one-inch filter into an undersized slot can choke airflow.
Do I need a whole-home humidifier in Utah?
Many homes here benefit through the winter. It helps with static, dry sinuses, and hardwood and trim that shrinks every January.
What MERV rating should I use?
It depends on what your blower can push. We'll check static pressure before recommending a rating rather than guessing.
