Air Purifiers in Kimberling City
Whole-home air purifiers are the most effective way to combat indoor air pollution. These systems provide multiple air changes per hour, or ACH. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends four ACH as a minimum. Many of the systems available provide at least five. However, you may want six or higher if someone in the home has a serious respiratory condition or compromised immune function. Another consideration is clean air delivery rate. It indicates effectiveness, and you’ll want a CADR that’s at least two-thirds of your home’s square footage.
Many air purification systems have multiple stages. There’s often a prefilter to trap the largest particles and protect the more expensive filter media. Many brands use a high-efficiency particulate air filter for the primary mechanical filtration. HEPA filters trap over 99% of the particles that pass through the system. Many of these systems have activated charcoal to control odor and adsorb gases and airborne chemicals. If you’d like to eliminate over 99% of bacteria and viruses, you can add an in-duct germicidal light as well.

Humidifiers for Better Winters
There are a range of factors that contribute to IAQ. One that’s often overlooked is relative humidity. Cold air holds less water vapor, which is why the air is naturally drier during winter. The EPA warns against an RH below 30%. That can be difficult to achieve, especially if you’re running your furnace.
Humidifiers are effective solutions. Whole-home systems give you fine control over RH and provide as much water vapor as needed to reach the target. There are bypass systems, such as those that attach directly to a furnace. There are also powered systems that move air on their own. That lets them humidify the air even when the heat isn’t on. We install and service them all.
Dehumidifiers for Better Summers
Warmer air can hold more water vapor, which is why the air is naturally more humid in summer. The EPA advises against an RH above 60%. Many people prefer an RH between 40% and 50% for comfort but also better sleep and respiratory health. Air conditioners and heat pumps do provide some dehumidification, but they aren’t anywhere near effective enough at dehumidification to bring RH down far enough during the most humid days.
If you’re struggling to reach your desired RH through AC alone, consider our whole-house dehumidifiers. These systems often have a fan and an evaporator coil. The fan moves air over the coil, which causes the water vapor in the air to condense. The water then drips into a pan and exits your home via a drain pipe. That is much more convenient than portable units that you need to empty regularly.
