Which IAQ upgrade should I start with?
Most homes should start with the filter cabinet and return-air path. UV or air cleaners can help specific problems, but they should match the equipment and symptoms.
Pure Breathe recommendations
Indoor air quality upgrades work best when they match the home’s HVAC system, humidity, filter setup, and symptoms. Pure Breathe recommendations start with inspection, then pair duct cleaning with filtration, UV, or air cleaning where appropriate.

Questions homeowners ask
Most homes should start with the filter cabinet and return-air path. UV or air cleaners can help specific problems, but they should match the equipment and symptoms.
UV lights are usually installed to treat surfaces or air passing through part of the HVAC system. They are not a stand-alone replacement for filtration, cleaning, or humidity control.
