Are you concerned about your indoor air quality in Council Bluffs, IA? Xtreme Heating & Cooling LLC HVAC company can help, and we recommend air quality testing as a first step. Testing can reveal a number of air quality challenges, including a high concentration of pollutants and excessive moisture. With that information, you can then explore solutions. Among the most effective is an in-duct whole-house air purification system that can filter your home’s air multiple times an hour.

"I would recommend Xtreme to anyone. They replaced my 20 year old system with an entire new system. They were very polite and professional, but most importantly they did an exceptional job! Thanks to them my growing family doesn't have to worry if our heat will go out."
The factors that affect air quality are constantly changing, so we recommend periodic air quality testing. You should have us test your home at least every other year, but families with members who have respiratory conditions may want to schedule more often.
An HVAC system doesn’t cause air quality issues but can exacerbate them if it’s not maintained well. One reason to schedule seasonal tune-ups is that we’ll clean your equipment to remove grime and microbial growth. You should also consider upgrading to a higher-performance HVAC filter. If your system supports it, a MERV-13 filter will trap 90% of household allergens that pass through it.
While your HVAC system does provide some filtration, it’s limited. We recommend an air purifier that filters all the air in your home four or more times an hour. A popular choice for this is an in-duct air purifier. These systems typically provide both mechanical and absorbent filtration. There’s often a prefilter in addition to a HEPA filter that traps over 99% of particles. These systems also have activated carbon to neutralize gases, chemicals, and unpleasant odors.
Our team can also install an ultraviolet light in your ductwork. We recommend standalone UV lights, which are more effective due to the slow movement of air in the ducts. There are air purifiers with integrated UV, but that air moves much faster.
Relative humidity is also an important aspect of air quality. Most people are comfortable and sleep better at an RH between 40% and 50%. We recommend a whole-house dehumidifier to keep RH at 50% or below in summer and a whole-house humidifier to keep RH at 40% or above in winter.
Better indoor air quality can provide a range of health benefits:
Easier breathing
More restful sleep
Higher energy levels
Less prone to illnesses
Fewer allergy symptoms
