Indoor Air Quality Services in Las Vegas

Las Vegas air is dry, dusty and hard on a home. Between desert dust, pollen from the valley's landscaping and an air conditioner that runs most of the year, the air inside your house gets a workout. Desert Air Heating & Cooling helps with filters, UV lights and humidifiers, starting from $149.

We have been family-run since 2009, which makes 17 years of working in valley homes. Here is how we approach indoor air, and what we will and won't recommend.

Why indoor air is different in Las Vegas

Most indoor air advice is written for humid parts of the country, where the usual worry is moisture and mold. Here it is often the opposite.

• Very dry air. Low humidity is normal in the Mojave Desert. Indoors, it can mean dry skin, scratchy throats, static shocks and nosebleeds. It can also crack wood floors and furniture.
• Fine dust. Dust storms, dry soil and ongoing construction around the valley put fine particles in the air. Those particles get pulled into your system every time it runs.
• Pollen. Many Las Vegas yards have ornamental trees and grasses that release pollen in spring. Allergy sufferers often feel it indoors too.
• Long cooling season. Your AC can run for months at a stretch. Air passes through your filter and ductwork thousands of times, so a clogged filter or dusty duct matters more here than in milder climates.
• Hot attics. Many valley homes have ductwork running through attics that get extremely hot. Leaky or dirty ducts there can pull in dust and unconditioned air.

What we install and service

Air filters

The filter is the first line of defense, and it is often the wrong one. A cheap, thin filter lets fine dust through. A very dense filter can choke airflow and strain your blower and coil.

We look at your system and recommend a filter that cleans the air without starving the equipment. If your system can't handle a higher-grade filter as it stands, we will tell you that rather than sell you one that causes problems.

UV lights

UV lights are usually mounted near the indoor coil. They are meant to limit buildup of microbial growth on the coil and in the surrounding area. They work alongside a good filter and do not replace one. We explain what a UV light can and can't do for your home before you decide.

Humidifiers

A whole-home humidifier adds moisture to the air as it moves through your system. In a dry valley winter it can make rooms feel more comfortable, and it can ease the static and dry-skin problems many people here know well. We help you pick a setup and set it so it doesn't overshoot, since too much moisture is its own problem.

How a visit works

1. We listen. Tell us what you notice: dust on surfaces, dry air, allergy flare-ups, odors, or rooms that never feel fresh.
2. We inspect. Our NATE-certified technicians check your filter, your equipment and the condition of the air handling around it. We service every major brand.
3. You get the price first. We give you the price before any work starts, with no surprises on the final bill.
4. We do the work and clean up. We leave your home the way we found it, as if we were never there.

Indoor air quality work starts from $149. The final price depends on what your home needs, and we will quote it up front.

Fix the system, not just the air

Sometimes poor air isn't a filter problem. It can come from the ducts or the equipment itself, and we point that out honestly.

• If the ducts are dusty or leaking, duct cleaning and sealing may do more than any add-on. Sealing also helps even out temperatures between rooms.
• If your coils are dirty or the system hasn't been checked in a while, an AC tune-up is a good starting point.
• If your equipment is old and struggling, a new AC or heat pump may be worth a look. We give you a written quote and financing is available from $89 a month with approved credit.
