Common Indoor Air Quality Problems and Core HVAC Systems That Impact Your Home

While many homeowners focus on heating and cooling, few realize the extent to which poor indoor air quality (IAQ) can affect health and comfort. In Los Angeles, unique challenges like urban pollution, dry air, and wildfire smoke make IAQ upgrades essential. At JMS Air Conditioning and Heating, we diagnose and solve IAQ problems using advanced HVAC system enhancements.

Most Common IAQ Problems in Los Angeles Homes

• Excessive Dust and Allergens: Air ducts that haven’t been cleaned in years or HVAC filters that are outdated can allow dust, pet dander, and pollen to circulate continuously.
• Dry, Irritating Indoor Air: Especially in the winter and during AC season, lack of humidity causes dry skin, respiratory irritation, and discomfort.
• Lingering Odors and Stale Air: Poor ventilation allows cooking smells, VOCs, and other pollutants to build up.
• Mold Growth or Musty Odors: Inadequate humidity control and ventilation often result in moisture buildup that can lead to mold and mildew.
• Airborne Viruses and Germs: Without purification systems, bacteria and viruses can move freely through central HVAC systems.

Don’t ignore the air you breathe, get a full IAQ evaluation from JMS Air Conditioning and Heating today.

Major HVAC Components That Impact Air Quality

IAQ performance depends on more than just your air filter. These critical HVAC components and systems directly shape the air you breathe:

• UV Germicidal Lights: Mounted inside your air handler or ducts, these lights neutralize pathogens like viruses, mold spores, and bacteria.
• Whole-Home Humidifiers and Dehumidifiers: Balance indoor moisture to prevent dryness in winter and excess humidity in summer, creating a healthier indoor environment.
• Air Purification Systems: Electronic air cleaners, ionizers, and activated carbon filters tackle particulates, odors, and gases.
• Mechanical Ventilation Systems (ERV/HRV): Exchange stale indoor air for fresh, filtered outdoor air critical in airtight or newer homes.
• Ductwork Integrity: Sealed and insulated ducts prevent contamination and ensure balanced airflow, reducing IAQ issues caused by dirty or leaking ducts.
• Thermostats with IAQ Monitoring: Smart thermostats can detect and adjust for indoor air quality metrics like humidity and particulate concentration.

HVAC Upgrades That Boost Indoor Air Quality

• Smart IAQ Integration: Systems that connect purification, humidity control, and ventilation through one platform for holistic air quality management.
