Air Quality for Campo homes, done by licensed 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. We install media filter cabinets, MERV 13+ systems, UV-C lights, HEPA bypass filtration, whole-home dehumidifiers, and humidifiers for dry inland zones..
Why is air quality different in Mountain San Diego?

Why does the Mountain region matter for this service?
Mountain IAQ sometimes needs humidification (dry winters) instead of dehumidification. Whole-home humidifiers paired with proper filtration handle both.
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.
