Months of closed windows in a Detroit winter make dry, dusty air more noticeable. We match humidifiers, filters and cleaners to your furnace.
Detroit winters keep houses closed for months, and that is when indoor air quality problems show up. Dry air causes static, cracked wood floors and sore throats. Dust from old ducts, basements and nearby traffic circulates through the house every time the furnace runs. We install and service whole-house humidifiers, air cleaners, better filters and purifiers that work with your furnace or air handler.
Air duct cleaning is part of this work. In older homes, ducts can hold years of dust, construction debris and pet hair. Cleaning removes it, but it should be done properly, with the whole system sealed and the blower and coil cleaned too. We also look for the source of the dust, such as leaky return ducts in a dusty basement, so it does not come right back.
Not every product helps every home. A higher MERV filter can restrict airflow on an older furnace, and some purifiers do little for the price. We explain what each option does, what it needs in maintenance and whether your system can handle it. In summer, a properly sized air conditioner and a clean drain do a lot to control humidity on their own.
Indoor air quality in Detroit: common questions
Do I need a humidifier in winter?
In many Detroit homes, yes. Indoor air gets very dry in cold weather. A whole-house humidifier mounted on the furnace adds moisture evenly. It needs a yearly cleaning and pad change.
Is air duct cleaning worth it?
It can be after a renovation, a pest problem, or years without cleaning. It is not a cure for every dust problem. We check the ducts and tell you whether it will help.
What filter should I use for allergies?
A higher MERV filter traps more fine particles, but some older furnaces cannot push enough air through it. We check your system and recommend a filter that it can handle.
