Improve Indoor Air Quality
Every time your furnace or air conditioner turns on, it pulls dust, pollen, and animal dander into your duct system. These pollutants make your ducts the perfect breeding ground for mold, mildew, fungi, and bacteria. In addition, chemical compounds from paints, carpeting, household cleaners, and other common sources can also enter your heating and cooling system. If your system is not cleaned regularly, these contaminants will circulate throughout your home and can affect the health and comfort of your family. People with allergies, asthma, or other respiratory problems are especially vulnerable.
Fortunately, the solution is simple: call Buckeye’s professional technicians. Our technicians are carefully trained to be experts on indoor air quality. When you call Buckeye for a consultation, we won’t simply recommend a cookie-cutter solution for you. We’ll take the time to properly diagnose the problems in your home’s indoor air, give you a complete report on our findings, and sit down with you to discuss the many options you have for improving the air quality in your home. Often, simple changes in your air quality system can lead to dramatic improvements for allergy and asthma sufferers.
To make sure that you can take the right measures to keep your family healthy, Buckeye offers a wide variety of flexible payment plans.

How Buckeye Helps You Improve the Air Quality in Your Home
When we come to your home, we will check it for three different kinds of airborne contaminants:
- Particulate matter (dust, pollen, animal dander, molds, fungi)
- Bio-aerosols (living airborne contaminants like bacteria and viruses)
- Volatile organic compounds (harmful chemicals from paint, carpets, etc)
Once we’ve assessed the levels of these contaminants in your home, we’ll examine your heating and cooling system to determine how best to address them. When we’re done, we’ll give you a full report of our findings. We’ll also provide you with a written estimate for taking the corrective measures we recommend.
These corrective measures can take many forms. Usually, we will start by removing the source of the pollutants. We’ll clean your ducts and recommend that you thoroughly clean the interior of your house as well. We might then install a filtration system and a humidity control system to prevent the buildup and growth of new contaminants. We may also recommend an air purification system, which uses UV light to kill contaminants coming in from the outside. Finally, we will probably recommend a safety monitoring system, which might include a carbon monoxide detector and/or a thermostat with a built-in air quality monitor.
There are lots of options, so contact us today for a consultation.
To find out if you might benefit from an air quality assessment, take our simple quiz:
