Cleaner air for the whole house
Are you or your family dealing with allergies, dust, pet dander or wildfire smoke? The EPA ranks indoor air pollution among the top environmental risks to public health, and most of us spend the majority of our time indoors. You deserve a home that is comfortable and healthy.
The technicians at South Placer Heating & Air install, repair and replace air cleaners and filtration systems of every type and brand, including Honeywell, across Sacramento and our 12-county service area.
Filtration, air cleaners and wildfire smoke
A higher-rated filter or whole-home air cleaner installed in your system can capture far more dust, pollen and smoke particles than a standard filter. We will recommend an option your system can handle without restricting airflow.
Platinum Comfort Club members receive fresh filters delivered to their door every quarter, and anyone can order South Placer filters online.
Air duct repair, sealing and replacement
Your ducts carry every bit of heated and cooled air through your home. When they leak, sag or collect debris, your comfort and your energy bills both suffer.
Leaky ducts in an attic or crawlspace can pull in dust and insulation fibers and force your furnace, air conditioner or heat pump to work much harder. Ducts can also collect contaminants such as dust, pollen and mold. Repairing, sealing or replacing them is one of the most effective ways to improve your indoor air.
Why duct work pays off
South Placer Heating & Air repairs, seals and replaces all types of ductwork.
Fewer allergy triggers
Sealed, clean ducts stop pulling attic dust and insulation fibers into the air you breathe.
Better system performance
Your furnace, air conditioner or heat pump stops fighting leaks and restrictions.
Lower energy use
Conditioned air reaches the rooms it was meant for instead of the attic or crawlspace.

FAQ: Indoor air quality
Here are some of the questions we are asked most about our indoor air quality services:
What are common signs of poor indoor air quality?
If you or your family notice:
- Frequent allergy or asthma symptoms
- Headaches or fatigue at home
- Unusual odors or stale air
- Dust that returns quickly after cleaning
- Uneven airflow or temperatures
...your indoor air may not be as clean or balanced as it should be. Ductwork problems and clogged filters are common causes.
How do air ducts affect indoor air quality?
Your ducts act as the lungs of your heating and cooling system. If they leak, are poorly sealed or are full of dust, they lower efficiency and spread contaminants like pollen and mold. That is why we offer duct repair, sealing and replacement.
How often should ducts be inspected?
Most experts recommend inspecting your duct system every 3 to 5 years, and sooner if you have pets or allergies, or have recently remodeled. We can inspect your ducts and give you the price for any work before it begins.
Do air purifiers and air cleaners really help?
Yes. Whole-home air cleaners built into your heating and cooling system can significantly reduce airborne dust, pet dander and smoke. We install and service a range of systems, including Honeywell.
What can I do about wildfire smoke?
Upgrading to a higher-efficiency filter or whole-home air cleaner, and making sure your ducts are sealed, both help keep smoke particles out of the air you breathe. During smoke events, running your system's fan with a good filter can clean the air throughout the house. We will recommend a filter your system can handle.
Can improving my air quality lower my energy bills?
Yes. Leaky or clogged ductwork makes your system work harder than it needs to, which raises energy costs and shortens equipment life. Clean, sealed ducts help your system run efficiently.
Is indoor air quality more important in certain seasons?
It matters year-round. In winter, homes are closed up tightly and pollutants stay inside. In summer and fall, pollen, dust and wildfire smoke find their way in. Consistent filter changes and maintenance protect your family in every season.
How do I get started?
Start with an inspection. Our NATE-certified technicians will assess your system, recommend solutions, and give you the price before any work begins, whether you need duct sealing, repairs or a new air cleaning system.
