Indoor air pollutants such as bacteria, viruses, dust, dirt, mold spores and allergens, are all contaminants that can be found in your home’s air.

ARS/Rescue Rooter in Raleigh or Durham provides some products & services for best indoor air quality at your place:
Air Purifiers
Every day, things such as mold, dust, viruses, bacteria and dust mites can circulate through your air after passing through your HVAC system. A whole-home air purifier can remove a high percentage of these toxins from your air.
Duct Cleaning
Over time, dirt and debris can build up in your ducts and become a holding ground for dust mites, pollens, and allergens. These microscopic pollutants can quickly multiply, creating millions of virus and bacteria particles inside your ductwork that are constantly flowing through your air simply because your ducts aren’t clean. Your ducts should be cleaned every 2-3 years to ensure clean indoor air.
Filtration
There are many types of filters available that can be added to your heating and cooling system to removing indoor airborne pollutants. These include disposable filters, media filters, HEPA filters and more. Based on the needs of your family, our professional service technicians can recommend the most effective filter for your system and home.
Humidification
Many homes require the addition of moisture to maintain a comfortable environment. Low humidity levels can result in dry skin and hair, cracked hardwood floors and furniture and damage to personal belongings. Whole home humidifiers can be added to your home’s heating and cooling system to add the right amount of moisture to your air for ideal comfort.
Dehumidification
Too much humidity in your air can cause mold and mildew growth. These mold spores can get your home’s air, and potentially cause illness in your family. A whole-home dehumidifier can be added to your heating and cooling system to help prevent mold and mildew growth.
UV Germicidal Lamps
UV germicidal lamps can destroy virtually any harmful microorganism that passes through your heating and cooling systems, such as germs, viruses, and bacteria, by breaking up their DNA structure. As a result, the microorganisms are destroyed and your indoor air quality can be improved.
