Most homeowners don’t realize that indoor air contains up to 5 times more pollutants than outdoor air. Furthermore, Americans spend about 90% of their time indoors, breathing in chemicals, pollen, pet dander, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), mold, dust, viruses, and bacteria. When your indoor air is also too humid or dry, the unpleasant and unhealthy effects of indoor pollution increase.
Buckner’s Heating and Cooling offers indoor air quality services to help you breathe easier. Learn about your air quality options by contacting us online or calling (816) 436-1244.
Humidity Control
Maintaining an ideal humidity range in your home keeps the atmosphere more comfortable and lets your heating and cooling system work more efficiently. Whole-home humidifiers and dehumidifiers can be directly installed in your HVAC ductwork. Overly humid and overly dry air can cause a variety of problems, including fading and damaging furniture and art, increasing illness and allergies, and causing skin irritation.

Air Purifiers
Air purifiers use a filter system to trap airborne contaminants such as dust, pollen, smoke, and pet dander. Advanced filters can even remove VOCs. An air purifier can be installed in your air ducts to trap the airborne pollutants and then blow clean air through the vents.
Air Scrubbers
With a top-quality air scrubber installed in your HVAC system, you can eliminate up to 99% of surface microorganisms (including MRSA and Staph) and 90% of airborne microorganisms. Air scrubbers most often use UV germicidal light to kill viruses and bacteria and to kill, dissolve, or disable VOCs, odors, and particulates like dander and mold.
Air scrubbers can reduce or eliminate allergy symptoms, prevent or reduce illnesses, and improve your household’s overall quality of life.

Indoor Air Quality FAQs
What is the ideal indoor humidity level for a home?
To keep indoor air comfortable, your heater and air conditioner working well, and to minimize mold growth and contaminants that cause asthma and allergies, the humidity levels in your home should average between 35% and 52%.
Won’t running an air scrubber make my energy bills skyrocket?
Not at all! In most cases, your air scrubber will use less than 20 watts of electricity — remember, a standard lightbulb uses 60. Also, with almost all air contaminants eliminated, your HVAC system will run more efficiently (and cheaply).
