Match the fix to the problem
What's bothering you, and what usually helps.
| What you notice | Likely cause | What usually helps |
|---|---|---|
| Dust settles again within days | A low-grade filter, leaky return ducts or dirty ducts | A better filter or electronic air filter, sealing returns, duct cleaning |
| Dry skin, static shocks and cracked wood in winter | Low humidity while the heat runs | A whole-home humidifier on the furnace or air handler |
| Musty smell, condensation or a damp basement | Too much moisture | A dehumidifier and a check of drainage and ventilation |
| Wildfire smoke getting into the house | Outside air leaking in; filter not fine enough | Higher-efficiency filtration, running the fan on recirculate |
| Stale air or lingering cooking smells | Not enough fresh air exchange | A ventilation review of your home and system |
No equipment needed

Air quality questions
Indoor air quality FAQ
How do I improve indoor air quality in my home?
Start with the filter and the ducts, then add what your home needs: better filtration for dust and smoke, a humidifier for dry winter air, or a dehumidifier for damp spaces. We look at the system and the house before recommending anything.
Can my furnace filter help with wildfire smoke?
A higher-efficiency filter or electronic air filter catches more fine particles than a basic filter, as long as your system's blower can handle it. We check that before upgrading.
Do I need a whole-home humidifier?
If the house feels dry all winter, with static shocks or cracking wood floors and furniture, a humidifier on the furnace or air handler adds moisture to every room the system reaches.
How often should I change my filter?
It depends on the filter type and your home. Standard filters are often changed every few months and media filters less often; your technician will give you a schedule for your system.
Does duct cleaning improve air quality?
It removes built-up dust and debris from the duct system, which helps when dust keeps coming back. Duct cleaning starts at $599 for up to 16 vents and 1 return.
