Call Today For Reliable Indoor Air Quality Solutions in the Phoenix Metro Area
The Phoenix/Scottsdale area is known for poor year-round air quality. Soot, dust, and aerosols pollute our air, causing health problems for residents, and the American Lung Association rated Phoenix-Mesa among the top 10 worst cities in the United States for ozone, year round particle pollution, and short term particle pollution.
Many homeowners assume that their homes offer protection against outdoor air pollutants. But indoor air often has higher concentrations of pollution due to a building’s smaller, confined space and the many activities and appliances that can contribute contaminants in the air you and your family breathe.
Thankfully, there are indoor air quality services and products from Ideal Air Conditioning and Insulation that filter out contaminants and can help improve indoor air quality, or IAQ, in your Phoenix, AZ home, including:
The Signs of Poor IAQ

Did you know that these are all common symptoms of poor indoor air quality? One of the biggest difficulties in identifying that you need IAQ services for your Phoenix, AZ home is that it’s not always obvious that your house could be directly related to the health issues you’re experiencing.
What Causes Poor Indoor Air Quality?
Many common indoor air pollutants—which include mold, VOCs, dust, pollen, pet dander, carbon monoxide, bacteria, and viruses—are created or introduced into your home in ways you may not even realize, like:
How to Remove or Prevent Airborne Pollutants and Contaminants
Three of the most effective ways to promote indoor air quality are to:
- Dilute the concentration of pollutants, or
- Filter them out
- Prevent them from coming in
Ideal Air Conditioning and Insulation installs filtration systems with breakthrough technology that removes 99.98% of airborne allergens. These systems can extract pet dander, dust mites, pollen, mildew, viruses, and bacteria from the air circulating through your HVAC system.
We also install heat recovery ventilators and energy recovery ventilators that exhaust stale or contaminated air from your home while supplying a stream of fresh, filtered and conditioned air, and our bathroom exhaust fans can keep bathroom moisture levels in check and prevent mold growth.
Our company also properly ensures attic air and dust stays in your attic by properly air sealing your attic top plates, wire and plumbing penetrations to prevent air infiltration in your home. Air sealing, coupled with proper home pressure balancing will prevent pressures from sucking dust and debris from your attic and into your home causing pollutants from entering in the first place.
Carbon monoxide is an odorless, colorless gas that is deadly when present in high enough levels. Ideal Air Conditioning and Insulation installs CO detectors that safeguard your family against dangerous gas leaks.
