Breathe easier with IAQ services that fit New England homes

Dry winter air, sticky summer humidity, and tightly sealed construction can trap pollutants indoors. Christie Cooling & Heating improves indoor air quality Acton MA with whole home filtration, UV enhancements, ventilation upgrades, and balanced humidity. From Nagog Hill to West Acton Village, we tailor solutions so air feels clean and comfortable year round.

Air purification and filtration that tackle allergens

High efficiency media filters capture fine dust and pollen while electronic air cleaners target smaller particles. UV lights near the coil help limit microbial growth that can affect airflow and odors. If allergies are a concern, we recommend filter ratings that work with your HVAC system without restricting airflow.

Humidity control for comfort and health

Whole house humidifiers add moisture during dry winters to reduce static, dry skin, and creaky floors. In summer, whole home dehumidifiers and proper AC settings keep rooms from feeling clammy and help protect basements from moisture problems. Balanced humidity can make the house feel better even at moderate temperatures.

Ventilation and fresh air where you need it

Tight homes benefit from planned fresh air exchange. We evaluate options to bring in outdoor air efficiently and check duct sealing so dust is less likely to recirculate. Kitchens, baths, and basements improve when exhaust and makeup air are tuned correctly.

indoor air quality questions

  • What MERV rating is best for my home?

    Most Acton homes do well with MERV 8–11. For allergy concerns, we may recommend MERV 13 or a dedicated HEPA solution if your system can handle the added resistance.

  • Do I need a humidifier, a dehumidifier, or both?

    In winter, a whole-house humidifier keeps indoor RH around 30–40%. In summer, a dehumidifier (or properly tuned AC) helps maintain 40–50% to reduce clammy rooms and mold risk—many homes benefit from both seasonally.

  • Will a UV light actually improve air quality?

    UV lights target microbial growth on coils and in passing air, helping with odors and airflow over time. They work best alongside quality filtration and proper humidity control.

  • Can these IAQ products retrofit to my existing HVAC?

    Yes. Media filters, UV lights, humidifiers, and whole-home dehumidifiers typically integrate with your current furnace or air handler with minimal changes.

  • How often should I replace filters?

    Check monthly and replace at least every 90 days, or more often with pets, renovations, or allergy season. We can size the right filter and set reminders so replacements stay on schedule.
