Indoor Air Quality Services in South Bend, IN

Indoor Air Quality Solutions from Goff Heating & Air Conditioning

Goff Heating and Air Conditioning offers the following indoor air quality solutions for homes in South Bend, IN:

Media Air Cleaners & Air Purifiers

Although HVAC systems come with air filters to capture particulate matter and indoor contaminants, these air filters are not nearly as effective as installing whole-house air filtration products. Whole home media air cleaners and air purifiers are effective at removing pet dander, pollen, mold spores, bacteria, dust mites, and other pollutants that are as small as 0.01 microns – 18,000 times smaller than a pinhead!

Goff installs various air purification systems and media air cleaners ranging from MERV 10-15. These systems remove contaminants to improve indoor air quality all throughout your home.

Our Bryant indoor air quality products include:

• EVOLUTION® PERFECT AIR™ PURIFIER FOR FURNACES. These systems have a filter efficiency of MERV 15 and a germicidal rate of 99%.
• PREFERRED™ SERIES AIR PURIFIER. With a germicidal rate of 96% and a MERV 13 rating, this model is highly effective at rendering even the smallest particles useless.
• PREFERRED™ EZ-FLEX FILTRATION SYSTEM. These systems feature a MERV 10 rating.

Additionally, we install Totaline and AprilAire air filtration systems. We also offer whole-house high-efficiency particulate arresting (HEPA) filtration systems for people who suffer from severe allergies.

UV Air Cleaners & UV Lights

At Goff Heating & Air Conditioning, we are dedicated to providing cutting-edge indoor air quality services to enhance the comfort and well-being of your home. A key indoor air quality service we offer is the installation of UV air cleaners and UV lights in your HVAC system. These innovative technologies play a pivotal role in improving indoor air quality, ensuring that the air you breathe is clean, fresh, and free from indoor air pollution.

Our UV air cleaners are designed to target and neutralize microscopic airborne particles, including bacteria, viruses, mold spores, and allergens. By integrating these advanced systems into your HVAC setup, we ensure that your home’s air is continuously purified. UV air cleaners work by exposing these pollutants to germicidal UV-C light, which disrupts their DNA and renders them inactive.

UV lights, strategically installed within your HVAC system, are effective at preventing mold and microbial growth on the cooling coils and other components. As air circulates through your HVAC system, the UV lights silently and efficiently combat mold and bacteria, ensuring that they don’t spread throughout your home. This not only improves indoor air quality but also enhances the overall performance and efficiency of your HVAC system.

With UV air cleaners and UV lights, you’ll experience fewer respiratory irritants and a healthier indoor environment for you and your loved ones. Whether you’re concerned about allergies, asthma, or simply want to keep your home healthy, our UV air cleaners are a reliable solution for your indoor air quality problems.

Humidifiers

For optimal comfort and protection for your home and family members, indoor humidity levels should be in the 30-50% range. On cold, dry days during the winter, though, humidity levels can plummet well below this mark, leading to comfort and health issues and even damage to your wood flooring and furniture.

If you’re experiencing low humidity, consider installing a Bryant whole-house humidifier. We offer several models of humidifiers that can pump anywhere between 17-34 gallons of water per day into your living spaces.

Aside from improving comfort, and health and protecting wood flooring, adding humidity during the winter can make your home feel warmer, which means you can lower the thermostat without sacrificing comfort. A humidifier will also reduce static electricity that can damage electronics.

Dehumidifiers

Achieving optimal indoor air quality goes beyond controlling indoor pollution; it also involves managing humidity levels effectively. High humidity in your home can lead to a host of issues, including mold growth, musty odor, and discomfort. To combat these poor air quality problems, we offer whole-home dehumidifier installations that provide comprehensive solutions for humidity control and improved indoor air quality.

Our whole home dehumidifiers are integrated directly into your HVAC system, ensuring that every room in your home benefits from balanced humidity levels. Unlike standalone portable units, which only target specific areas, our systems work cohesively to maintain ideal humidity throughout your entire living space.

By removing excess moisture from the air, these dehumidifiers not only prevent mold and mildew growth but also enhance the overall comfort and well-being of your home. You’ll experience fewer allergens, less moisture-related damage to your belongings, and a more pleasant living environment. Plus, managing humidity can help reduce energy costs by allowing you to set your thermostat at a higher temperature while still feeling comfortable.

Carbon Monoxide Detectors

If you’re like most homeowners, you already have smoke detectors installed around your home to protect your family and home from the threat of smoke and fire. However, many homeowners forget about installing carbon monoxide detectors, which are also extremely important.

Carbon monoxide is called the “silent killer” because it’s an odorless, colorless, and tasteless gas that can seriously injure or kill people. Some of the sources of CO include fuel-burning appliances such as gas furnaces, gas ranges and ovens, gas water heaters, gas dryers, fireplaces, and wood stoves.

When a CO alarm detects high levels of this deadly gas, it will alert you so you and your family can exit the home and call 911. According to the International Association of Fire Chiefs, CO detectors should be installed on every floor of your home, including the basement, within 10 feet of each bedroom door and over any attached garage.

Local building ordinances require the installation of carbon monoxide detectors in your home. If you need to install CO detectors in your South Bend, IN home or need to replace old, ineffective units, the indoor air quality professionals at Goff are here to help.

Thermostats

Thermostats have come a long way in the past several years. If you’re still using an old-fashioned, round-dial model, consider stepping into the future by having Goff Heating & Air Conditioning install a new Wi-Fi, smart or programmable thermostat.

We install several models of thermostats that offer the latest technology for increased energy savings and convenience. All of our thermostats are programmable so you can pre-set the temperature based on the time of day and day of the week for increased energy savings. For example, during the winter, you can pre-set lower temperatures while you’re away at work and higher temperatures in the evening and on the weekend when you’re home.

Our Wi-Fi thermostats, including Bryant Connex and Ecobee, offer the ultimate convenience by allowing you to control your thermostat from your smartphone – from anywhere. We also offer “smart” thermostats that can make automatic adjustments based on your home’s energy use, your personal preferences, and the changing weather. This can save homeowners up to 20% on their heating and cooling costs.

Duct Cleaning

Over time, your home’s ductwork can become contaminated and negatively affect indoor air quality. This can cause health issues such as headaches, fatigue, allergic reactions, breathing difficulties, infections and disease, especially for those who suffer from asthma, allergies and other respiratory illnesses.

Goff Heating & Air Conditioning recommends periodic air duct cleaning services to ensure proper ventilation and improve indoor air quality. We’ll inspect your ductwork to look for dirt, debris, mold, moisture and animal droppings and determine whether air duct cleaning is beneficial.

Some of the reasons to consider Goff’s air duct cleaning service include:

• There are elderly family members, young children, or someone who suffers from allergies living in the home.
• You wish to improve the efficiency of your HVAC system as dirty air ducts can restrict airflow keeping systems from working effectively.
• You don’t change furnace filters regularly.
• You’re experiencing musty odors in your home.
• Someone smokes inside.
