Comfort Plus Services sells, installs, and services indoor air quality solutions in Delaware and the Eastern Shore of Maryland. Our technicians understand the importance of maintaining healthy indoor air quality in your home. Poor indoor air quality can lead to a variety of health issues, including allergies, respiratory problems, and even more serious conditions.
Why is Indoor Air Quality important?
The air inside your home can be up to five times more polluted than the air outside. This is because modern homes are built to be more energy-efficient, which means they are also more airtight. While this is great for keeping your energy bills low, it also means that pollutants can become trapped inside your home, leading to poor indoor air quality.
Some common indoor air pollutants include:
- Dust and dust mites
- Pet dander
- Mold and mildew
- Tobacco smoke
Exposure to these pollutants can cause a range of health problems, including:
- Allergies and asthma
- Headaches and dizziness
- Fatigue and difficulty concentrating
- Respiratory issues and infections
How does humidity affect indoor air quality?
Humidity levels can contribute to indoor air quality issues. In the winter heating season, for example, heating can dry out the air inside your home or business to the point of causing health issues. Too much humidity can also lead to problems for your health and materials inside your home.
The Comfort Plus Services team sells, installs, and maintains humidifiers and dehumidifiers to help you maintain a comfortable and healthy level of humidity in your Mid-Atlantic home or business, in any season. Optimize the humidity levels in your home to breathe easy and extend the life of your HVAC system and interior home finishes.
Air purification systems have become an essential addition to modern homes. They work to clean the air in your home by removing airborne pollutants, ensuring you and your loved ones have the cleanest and healthiest air to breathe.
How do Air Purifiers Work?
Some air purification systems use UV light technology that not only purifies the air but also sterilizes it. Some utilize High-Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filters that remove minute particles from the air. The device or system that’s right for you depends on your individual needs and the size of your home or business.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Yes, the right HVAC filter can significantly reduce allergy triggers like pollen, dust, pet dander, and mold spores. Higher-efficiency filters (such as MERV 11–13) capture smaller airborne particles, but they must be properly matched to your system to avoid airflow restriction. A CPS technician can help you choose a filter that improves air quality without stressing your HVAC system.
- MERV 8–10: Good for general dust and everyday use
- MERV 11–13: Better for allergy sufferers and fine particles
The best filter depends on your home, system, and allergy sensitivity. Homes with severe allergies, asthma, or pets may benefit from additional IAQ solutions beyond filters alone.
Yes. Comfort Plus Services installs whole-home air purifiers and UV light systems that integrate directly with your HVAC equipment. These systems help reduce airborne bacteria, mold growth inside the system, and lingering odors, especially helpful during winter when homes are sealed tight.
UV lights are installed near the indoor coil or air handler to neutralize mold, bacteria, and microbial growth before it circulates through your home. They don’t replace filters, but they work alongside them to keep the system cleaner and improve overall indoor air quality.
Yes. Most emergency HVAC repairs happen because components wear down unnoticed during heavy usage. During a professional HVAC maintenance tune-up, your technician inspects and cleans your system, catches early warning signs, improves energy efficiency, and completes work that can help extend equipment life.
Homeowners on the Eastern Shore often save money by preventing major repairs simply through annual HVAC system maintenance.
Yes. HVAC UV lights are fully enclosed inside the system and are safe for households with children and pets when professionally installed. CPS installs UV systems designed specifically for residential HVAC use and ensures proper placement and shielding.
Common signs include indoor symptoms that improve when out of the home, such as:
- Frequent allergy or asthma symptoms
- Dry air, headaches, or sinus irritation
Inside the home, you may also notice:
- Excessive dust buildup
- Musty or stale odors
- Mold around vents or in bathrooms
If you’re unsure, a professional IAQ assessment can help identify the cause and the right solution.
Filters capture particles, but air purifiers actively clean the air as it circulates. Homes with pets, smokers, allergy sufferers, or older ductwork often benefit most from a purifier or UV system in addition to a high-quality filter.
Most filters should be replaced every 1–3 months, depending on filter type, pets, allergies, and system usage. Dirty filters reduce airflow, strain your system, and lower air quality. During peak heating and cooling seasons, you may want to change your filter more frequently.
Yes. Cleaner air means less buildup on coils and components, which helps your HVAC system run more efficiently and can extend its lifespan. Improved air quality and regular system maintenance work together to extend the life of your HVAC system.
There’s no one-size-fits-all answer. The best solution depends on your home’s size, existing HVAC system components, allergy concerns, and budget. CPS offers personalized recommendations to improve comfort without unnecessary upgrades.
