Indoor Air Quality
Humidification and filtration systems are a growing addition to more and more homes and businesses in not just the Northeast but all over the United States. Because more than 22 million Americans suffer from allergies and more than 5,000 die from asthma attacks every year, poor indoor air quality is no longer being overlooked by homeowners and business owners.
At our heating and cooling company, we can repair or install any air purification systems, air cleaners, filtration systems, humidifier systems or ventilation systems. We’ve been doing so in one form or another since 1960. Our
indoor air quality solutions are the best you will find in Hampden County, as we address all three dangers: particles, microbes and toxic gases/chemicals. We can design humidification and filtration systems that will ensure your home is contaminant free and safe for you and your children. If you were concerned enough to already have one put in place, we can fix every make and model – 50 years of experience counts for something.
Have you noticed some of these symptoms if you are in your home or business for long periods: dryness and irritation of the eyes, nose, throat and skin; headaches; fatigue; shortness of breath; hypersensitivity and allergies; sinus congestion; coughing and sneezing; dizziness; or nausea? Then it might be time to perform a check of your air purification system or get a humidification and filtration system installed.
The outside air dries out in the winter time. Turning the temperature up on your thermostat will make your home warmer but won’t increase your home’s humidity level. Studies have shown that daily activities such as showering, cooking, etc., don’t produce enough moisture to keep your home’s air from being too dry. Dry air can be a cause if your family members are having constant nose, throat and skin discomfort. Because of non-humidified dry air, you might even notice dry air problems such as frequent static shocks, chipping paint and plaster, or cracked wood floors, furniture, trim, moldings etc. If you have wood framing around your front door, for example, that dry air can dry out the wood, forcing it to shrink. This leads to gaps, which means places for cold air or water to enter. And then you have bigger problems.
Of course many of the above problems we mention can be worst-case scenario, but a humidification and filtration system will ensure the air has the proper recommended indoor humidity numbers while also keeping all the contaminants out. You will actually feel warmer in the winter, even your skin feels smoother. It’s much like how a water softener/conditioner makes your clothes feel better out of the wash or you feel cleaner out of the shower or how it stops those spots from appearing on your dishes. Those portable humidifiers are good for when your child has a cold, but they aren’t going to solve any real problems like a humidification and filtration system would.
Our experts can come to your home (or business) and determine the source of any potential air quality problems. Of course we recommend a yearly duct cleaning, and our technology in this field is unmatched. But if you want to ensure 24/7 protection from problems associated with dry air and poor indoor air quality (which is now in the Top 5 of health concerns for American homes as noted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention), then a humidification and filtration system installation is the best bet. We even offer possible financing options. And if you already have made that wise investment, we are experienced in every facet of repair with all parts in stock on our Warehouse on Wheels (what we affectionately call our trucks).

A humidification and filtration system will be an investment you can’t put a price on.Indoor air quality (IAQ) is a composite measure of how clean, healthy, and fresh (or dirty, sick, and stale) the air in your home is. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), indoor air quality is, on average, 2 to 5 times worse than outdoor air quality and can be as much as 100 times worse.
Visit the
EPA's IAQ Website to learn more. The
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) ranks indoor air quality as one of the top 5 health concerns facing our nation. Hurley and David is a member of the
Clean Indoor Air Alliance (CIA2). Members of the CIA
2 only prescribe proven whole house indoor air quality solutions to ensure that you and your family can breathe cleaner, healthier, and fresher air throughout your home, not just in one room.
Some of our services include: Indoor Air Quality Assessment & Testing
- CIA2 members have access to a wide range of IAQ testing and assessment equipment. We can determine what, if any, factors are contributing to IAQ challenges in your home.
Duct Vision Infrared Camera Inspections
- Our Inspector camera is a high resolution infrared camera. It can see in the darkest places, allowing Hurley and David to inspect your ducts and critical furnace components for both IAQ and safety concerns.
Source Removal
- Source removal is more commonly referred to as duct cleaning, however, our service is anything but common. It starts with a HEPA filtered duct cleaning machine being set up in the basement and attached to the ductwork. The technicians will then clean each branch thoroughly as well as the trunks to truly remove all of the sources of your IAQ challenges--the dirt, dust, mold, and other contaminants in the ductwork. After this pr ocess is completed, our technicians will treat your duct system with an antimicrobial agent to ensure that anything that was growing in the ductwork won't grow back. Our duct cleaning is a true source removal. We will verify the quality of the job for you with our Inspector camera.
Air Cleaners
- Hurley and David provides the industry's best IAQ solutions. We offer whole house IAQ solutions that address all three danger levels. These are particles, microbes, and toxic gases/chemicals. Room air cleaners and products offered by many of our competitors only address particles, leaving behind a chemical and microbial soup. We can design the right Air Decontamination Center for your home.
