Each home has different indoor air quality needs. Birkhead Co. specializes in reviewing your indoor air quality and taking steps to improve the air you breathe.
Why Should You Care About Indoor Air Quality?
You may not realize it, but the quality of air in your home has a dramatic effect on your daily life. The air around you affects your health, and dust particles can increase asthma symptoms and exacerbate your allergies. Dust and dirt in the air can also make it harder to sleep and irritate your sinuses throughout the night.
Extreme indoor air problems can even cause paint and wallpaper to crack or warp. Without clean air in your home, your house will be affected structurally while you suffer physically.
Finding the Right Solution for Your Indoor Air Quality Needs
Birkhead offers a variety of air quality options to create a healthy environment in your home. It’s not uncommon for homeowners to need more than a basic air filter to breathe comfortably.
Depending on the size of your HVAC system and the severity of your indoor air quality problems, we may recommend one or multiple air cleaners, air purifiers, air humidifiers, or ventilators in your space.
Each of these air purifying options controls various aspects of your home. Air humidifiers and dehumidifiers affect moisture, while air purifiers pull toxic chemicals and dust particles from the air. Our team will review the air problems in your home and make recommendations based off of your needs.
Schedule Seasonal Indoor Air Quality Inspections
The air in your home varies by season. Most homeowners experience dry air in the winter and then increased moisture levels in the spring and summer. Because of this, we recommend seasonal air quality inspections to determine how the air in your home changes. This allows us to see how your indoor air quality inspections during the different times of the year.
You can either schedule these seasonal appointments at the same time as your traditional HVAC maintenance or ask our team to come up specifically to review your indoor air needs. Consider the air quality outside and how it affects your home when you call us to come out.

Choosing the Right Air Filters for Your Home
Not every home has the same air quality concerns, which is why our air quality experts start by reviewing your specific moisture problems, dust particles, and overall air circulation before recommending air filters. A basic filter may not be enough if your home has ongoing air quality problems tied to allergies, humidity level swings, or ventilation performance.
What Our Air Quality Experts Check Before Recommending a Filter?
- Moisture problems affecting walls, ceilings, or comfort
- Dust particles and allergens circulating through your home
- Air circulation and overall ventilation performance
- Humidity level swings between seasons
Through a thorough IAQ assessment, we help you understand what's really affecting your HVAC system and your family's comfort — not just guesswork about which filter to buy.
Premier Clean Air Systems for Your Home
Not every air quality issue can be solved with a basic filter swap. Our premier clean air systems combine air purifiers, humidifiers, dehumidifiers, and ventilators to target the specific problems affecting your home — whether that's excess dust, seasonal moisture swings, or poor air circulation. We take the guesswork out of the process, recommending only what your home genuinely needs.
FAQS About Indoor Air Quality Service:
How do I know if I have an air quality problem?
Common signs include increased allergy or asthma symptoms, a musty smell, visible dust buildup, or difficulty sleeping at night. If these issues persist despite regular cleaning, the air quality problem is likely coming from your HVAC system rather than your housekeeping.
How often should indoor air quality be inspected?
Most homes benefit from a seasonal inspection every 3-4 months, since air quality shifts significantly between dry winters and humid summers. At a minimum, an annual inspection alongside your regular HVAC maintenance visit helps catch issues before they become bigger problems.
Can indoor air quality issues cause structural damage to my home?
Yes. Excess moisture from poor air quality can cause paint to crack, wallpaper to warp, and in severe cases, contribute to mold growth in walls or ceilings.
How often should I change my air filter?
Standard filters should be changed every 1-3 months, while higher-efficiency filters may last up to 6 months depending on usage, pets, and household allergies.
