Nearly any home in Lake Anna, VA, can benefit from indoor air quality services at some point. Indoor air quality (IAQ) problems can arise from filtration issues, outdoor sources, and even indoor irritants. If you’re ready to address your home’s IAQ issues, Air Nerds has solutions. Many indoor air quality improvements readily integrate into your home’s HVAC system. Air Nerds can reduce the guesswork and identify the specific issues so you can choose which IAQ solutions will work best for your home.

Multiple things can reduce indoor air quality. The solution could be as simple as making sure you’re using the correct HVAC air filter and replacing it frequently enough. Many homeowners also install humidifiers to fight our area’s dry winter air and dehumidifiers to combat summer moisture. These whole-house systems work well together to dial your home’s humidity level into the ideal range of 30 to 50 percent to prevent mold growth while avoiding uncomfortable dryness.
More complex solutions include air purifiers that use UV light to kill bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens. We can assess your home’s IAQ to identify which solutions best fit your needs.
Several common issues indicate a house has IAQ issues.
Respiratory illnesses and allergies
Skin rashes
High dust levels
Stuffy smells
Reduced HVAC performance
The first line of defense is your air filter. This is usually just inside the air return vent. These have a Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value (MERV) rating. The higher the number, the better the filtration. If people in your home have allergies or other respiratory issues, we recommend a filter between MERV 9 and 13. Most home HVAC systems can’t handle higher than MERV 13 because it starts restricting airflow. You should check the filter once a month to see if it’s dirty and change it at least every three months.
To improve your IAQ further, we recommend an air purifier. We install these in the HVAC system before the conditioned air circulates back into your home. Most incorporate HEPA filters, which are equivalent to MERV 17 or higher. Some also include carbon filters to adsorb odors, harmful chemicals, and gases. We also offer systems with UV light purification, which neutralizes bacteria, mold spores, and viruses.
We also offer duct cleaning services. Dust, pest debris, and mold can accumulate in your air ducts. Cleaning your ducts every few years can help keep your indoor air clean.
