By working with professional indoor air quality experts, it's not difficult to improve the indoor air quality of your home within hours of your service visit. Russell’s team of indoor air quality experts have a variety of solutions to your IAQ issues.
The majority of heating and cooling systems have air filtration built right in. Still, this technology can only work when maintained as prescribed by the manufacturer. Ductless mini splits, for example, have filters that need to be replaced or cleaned every 30 to 90 days, depending on various factors, like if you have pets in your home, or if any of your family suffers from allergies.
Even better, regular HVAC system maintenance can help you save money in the long run because it helps you keep your systems running at optimal efficiency, using less energy to operate. Russell’s offers affordable Maintenance Plans to help you keep your air clean and your HVAC systems running well year-round.
If you're looking to take a more active approach to improving the indoor air quality in your home, Russell’s installs air purification systems directly into your HVAC or ductwork to filter your air at the source before it circulates throughout your home.
