Improve Your Air — Protect Your Health
Have you considered the effect your home's airflow is having on you or your family's health?
We live in California, where the landscape and weather are beautiful — but we also deal with pollution and smoke, both outside and inside our homes. Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) refers to the condition of the air inside a building or home as it relates to the health of the people within. The two main types of pollutants are gaseous and particulate matter.
Gaseous pollutants (also known as Volatile Organic Compounds) like carbon monoxide and sulfur dioxide come from clothes dryers, wood and gas stoves, paints and solvents, and modern building materials. Particulate matter includes dust, dirt, soot, and tobacco smoke. Both are common contaminants your HVAC system circulates through the air you breathe.
As we seal our homes more tightly from the outside, we rely more on enclosed ventilation — which can create a breeding ground for dust mites, bacteria, fungi, viruses, and cleaning chemicals. Many retail air filtration units use ionizers to attract contaminants by converting negative atoms into charged molecules. The catch: ionizers can produce ozone gases in the process.
These toxins can cause a range of health issues — headaches, fatigue, nausea, coughing, allergic reactions, and worsened asthma or lung conditions in the short term, with more serious long-term risks if left unaddressed. We advise customers not to purchase any air cleaning system that isn't regulated for ozone production.
Alpha Mechanical is an indoor air quality solutions provider, equipping your home with custom relief from asthma, allergies, congestion, and other breathing issues — without disruptive ozone-producing devices. We install the right hardware, provide quick and honest diagnostics, and leave your air cleaner and your home more comfortable.

Know Your Contaminants — Have the Right Strategy
- Mechanical air cleaners: trap particle pollutants on the surface of filter fibers where they become lodged.
- Electrostatic precipitators (CARB-certified, low-ozone only): capture smaller particles using electrical charge. We install only units regulated for ozone production — never ionizer-type cleaners.
- Photocatalytic Oxidation (PCO) air cleaners: work with your existing HVAC system through installed ultraviolet light chambers. Microbes, VOCs, and other chemically active compounds in the air are broken down by hydroxyl radicals, leaving behind water molecules.
- UV germicidal irradiation: uses ultraviolet light to disrupt bacteria and viruses at the DNA level, preventing them from reproducing and spreading through your air.
Our humidification-dehumidification technology adds moisture during cold, dry winters to fight seasonal illness, and removes it in humid conditions to prevent mold growth and protect your home's building materials.
