Indoor Air Quality Solutions that Let You Breath Easy

Poor indoor air quality can lead to discomfort, allergies, respiratory issues, and higher energy bills. At Jacobs Heating & Air Conditioning, we provide expert indoor air quality solutions for homes and businesses across Portland, Vancouver, and the surrounding areas. Whether you need a new air purification system, duct cleaning, or simply want healthier indoor air, we can help you breathe easier.

What is Indoor Air Quality?

Indoor air can be 2 to 5 times more polluted than outdoor air, according to the EPA. Dust, pet dander, mold spores, smoke, and chemicals all contribute to indoor pollution, which can aggravate allergies, asthma, and other health issues. Our IAQ solutions not only improve your air but also enhance comfort, health, and system efficiency, helping your HVAC system run better for longer.

Keep Your Indoor Air Fresh

Lingering cooking smells, pet odors, and musty air can make your home feel less comfortable. Carrier® air filters help by removing dust and airborne particles before they circulate through your home. For even better air, the Carrier Infinity® Air Purifier captures up to 95% of pollen, pet dander, smoke, bacteria, and other pollutants, so the air you breathe stays clean and healthy.

Eliminate Mold and Bacteria with UV Lights

Mold and bacteria often grow where you can’t see them, like inside your HVAC system’s indoor coil. Carrier® line of UV lamps kills mold and bacteria at the source, keeping these contaminants from entering your home’s air. Ultraviolet lights also keep your HVAC system working at its most efficient performance, saving you money and extending the life of your system.

Improve Comfort with a Whole-House Humidifier

Dry air in winter can lead to cracked skin, dry sinuses, and breathing issues, especially for those with asthma. A Carrier® whole-house humidifier adds moisture back into your home’s air, improving comfort and air quality. Installed directly onto your HVAC system, it works automatically to keep indoor humidity balanced during drier PNW months.

Reminding You to Change Air Filters: Avoid clogged filters that restrict airflow and worsen air quality.
Tracking HVAC System Performance: Get alerts if your system isn’t operating efficiently, which can impact air cleanliness.
