Indoor Air Quality for Campo homes, done by vetted San Diego County technicians. Indoor air in San Diego has specific challenges: wildfire smoke in late summer, coastal humidity year-round, dust from East County and Santa Ana winds. The pros we send install media filter cabinets, MERV 13+ systems, UV-C lights, HEPA bypass filtration, whole-home dehumidifiers, and humidifiers for dry inland zones..

Campo: Campo sits at 2,600 feet elevation near the Mexican border with hot dry summers (95-105 degrees common), real winter freeze conditions, and severe SDG&E PSPS exposure. Rural large-lot residential, equestrian properties, Border Patrol-adjacent housing, and propane-to-heat-pump conversion as the dominant upgrade.

Rural large-lot residential, equestrian properties, Border Patrol-adjacent housing, and propane-to-heat-pump conversion as the dominant upgrade.. Mountain IAQ sometimes needs humidification (dry winters) instead of dehumidification.

What MERV rating should I use?

MERV 11 is the minimum that actually catches meaningful fine particulate. MERV 13 is the sweet spot for allergens, pet dander, and wildfire smoke. MERV 16 filters in a proper 4-inch cabinet are excellent, but a 1-inch MERV 16 in a standard slot usually chokes airflow. Always pair high-MERV with adequate filter area.

Do UV lights really work?

For coil mold and airborne pathogens in the air handler, yes, UV-C directly on the coil is proven. For whole-home sterilization of breathable air, the evidence is weaker. We recommend UV-C on the coil, not as a standalone air purifier.
