Indoor air can be up to five times more polluted than outdoor air. Most homes in Henrico County, whether older houses in Lakeside or Tuckahoe or newer construction in Short Pump, were built to seal weather out, not to filter what's already inside. Dust, allergens, mold spores, pet dander, and combustion byproducts build up in ductwork and filter slots over time. If anyone in your house has allergies, asthma, chronic congestion, or feels worse indoors than outdoors, the air is usually a big part of the picture. Fresh Air treats indoor air quality as its own trade, and we handle duct cleaning, UV purification, whole-home filtration, ventilation, and humidity control across Henrico.
Whole-home filtration upgrades using MERV 13, MERV 16, or HEPA bypass media filters. UV light installation in the air handler. Energy recovery ventilators (ERVs) that exchange stale indoor air for fresh outdoor air without losing heating or cooling energy. Whole-home humidifiers and dehumidifiers. Full duct cleaning that removes years of accumulated dust, debris, and biological growth. Duct sealing. Dryer vent cleaning for fire safety. Attic radiant barriers for summer cooling savings.
We don't start in the living room. We start in the attic, the crawlspace, and inside the ductwork because that's where IAQ problems actually live. We inspect the return ducts for visible buildup, check the filter slot, look at the air handler and coil for biological growth, and measure for moisture intrusion or pressure imbalance. Then we walk you through what we found and what would move the needle for your symptoms.
An IAQ assessment runs an hour or two. Most installs (UV light, filter upgrade, dryer vent cleaning) finish in a single visit. Full duct cleaning usually takes a half-day to a full day depending on system size. ERV installs and humidifier or dehumidifier integrations typically run one day. Full duct replacement runs two to three days.
Whole-home filtration upgrade with a MERV 13 media filter cabinet: $500 to $1,200 installed. UV-C light in the air handler: $500 to $1,000. Energy recovery ventilator install: $2,500 to $5,000 depending on integration. Full duct cleaning for a typical Henrico home: $400 to $800. Whole-home humidifier or dehumidifier: $1,500 to $3,500 installed. We provide a written, itemized quote.
