MERV-13 Filtration
MERV-13 filters trap particles as small as 0.3 microns. That includes smoke, mold spores, and many bacteria. Most Sacramento homes can be upgraded on a normal service visit.

Indoor Air Quality Upgrades for Sacramento Homes
Sacramento homes face a real air problem. Summer brings wildfire smoke from the Sierra. Spring and fall bring Coccidioides spores. These spores cause valley fever. Standard 1-inch filters do not block them. Fresh Air installs MERV-13 filters, UV scrubbers, and whole-home units that do.
UV Air Scrubbers
UV-C light units mount at your coil. They kill mold, bacteria, and viruses before air spreads them. They also cut coil buildup that causes musty odors.
Whole-Home Ionization
Ionization units send charged particles through your ducts. They attach to smoke, VOCs, and odors. Air is cleaned before it reaches your rooms.

Why Sacramento Homes Need More Than a Basic Filter
Valley fever comes from a fungus in valley soil. Wind stirs spores into the air. They enter homes through vents or open windows. MERV-13 or higher filters trap many spores before they reach your rooms.

Indoor Air Quality Hvac Sacramento FAQ
What is valley fever and can HVAC help?
Valley fever is a lung infection from a soil fungus. It is common in the Central Valley. High-MERV filters cut spore counts indoors. They are not a medical treatment. But they do help.
Do I need a UV unit if I have MERV-13 filtration?
They handle different threats. MERV-13 traps particles. UV kills biological items on surfaces and in the air stream. Many Sacramento homes benefit from both.
Can IAQ upgrades be added to my current HVAC unit?
In most cases, yes. A licensed tech checks your blower and duct size first. That confirms airflow stays healthy after the upgrade.
