Whole-home air purifiers, UV light sanitizers, MERV 13+ filtration, humidifiers. Cleaner air for allergy sufferers, wildfire smoke, and Inland Empire dust.
Priority dispatch from Rialto
The Inland Empire has the worst air quality of any major California region — chronic ozone, particulate pollution from the I-10 freight corridor, and seasonal wildfire smoke from the San Bernardino Mountains. Add brake dust from the I-10/I-215 interchange, agricultural dust from neighboring Riverside County, and the average Rialto home sees indoor PM2.5 levels 30-60% higher than coastal Southern California.
A standard 1-inch fiberglass furnace filter (MERV 4-6) catches almost none of this. Upgrading your indoor air quality system pays back in fewer asthma symptoms, less allergies, less dust on furniture, and longer HVAC equipment life.
Captures 90%+ of smoke, allergens, and bacteria. May require a thicker media filter cabinet on older systems. From $385 installed.
Kills mold, bacteria, viruses on contact inside your air handler. Recommended for allergy/asthma sufferers. $850-$1,400 installed.

UV light kills mold/bacteria/viruses inside your air handler. Recommended for allergies, asthma, immunocompromised residents, or visible mold. 3-year bulb life. $850-$1,400 installed.
Yes for most modern systems. Older systems with weak blower motors may need a thicker media filter cabinet ($385 installed). We test your blower static pressure first.
Most Rialto homes do not — climate is moderately humid. But if you run heavy AC/heating, indoor RH can drop below 30%. Bypass humidifiers ($485-$795 installed) keep RH at 35-45%.
