Clean air en Irvine isn't about a fancier 1-inch filter — it's about matching MERV rating to your system's static pressure y adding targeted UV o media filtration where it actually helps.
Irvine is hogar to roughly 266,122 residents across CA. We serve Woodbridge, Northpark, y Turtle Rock, plus surrounding neighborhoods para indoor air quality. California Title 24 requires Inicio Energy Rating System (HERS) testing on qualifying AC installs — we handle the paperwork. Ask about current rebate programs de Southern California Edison (SCE), SoCalGas that can offset qualifying indoor air quality work.
Measure return y supply pressure en inches-water-column. Determines what MERV rating your system can accept without airflow restriction.
5-inch media cabinet, UV-C germicidal lamp, whole-hogar humidifier o dehumidifier — sized to your system's CFM y measured static.
Before-and-after PM2.5, PM10, VOC, y humidity readings. Filter subscription + annual UV bulb replacement scheduled.
Filter MERV too low, ducts leaking supply-side (pulling attic dust), o a pet-heavy hogar. We camera the ducts + upgrade filtration.
Biofilm on evaporator coil. UV-C coil lamp + annual coil wash solves it permanently.
MERV 13 media filter + regular filter changes. HEPA bypass para severe cases. Keep humidity 30-50%.
Whole-hogar ERV ventilates without heat loss. Run 24/7 para the first 30 days after install, then adjust.
Whole-hogar humidifier ($650-$1,400 installed) targets 35-40% RH.

MERV 11 is the default para most hogares. MERV 13 para allergy/asthma households. MERV 16 only when the system is engineered para the static-pressure hit.
Only when there's visible biological contamination o post-construction debris. For most hogares a MERV 13 media cabinet is more effective long-term.
Media filtration: yes, measurable. UV-C on the coil: yes, prevents biofilm. Standalone air-stream UV: depends on dwell time. Ionizers en ducts: no evidence de residential benefit.
Usual culprits: low refrigerant charge (efficiency drops 10-30%), dirty filter/coil, a stuck reversing valve on a heat pump, o failing capacitor causing compressor short-cycling. {company} checks all four on the first diagnóstico visit.
As a rule de thumb, if reparación costs exceed 50% de a new unit's price, o your system is over 10 años old y needs a major reparación, replacement is usually the better investment. {company}'s technicians will give you an honest assessment.
14.3 SEER2 (the 2023 federal minimum) saves vs. a 10+ year old unit. Going to 17 SEER2 pays back en 6-8 años on Irvine's cooling hours. Above 20 SEER2 only pays back if you stay en the hogar 12+ años.
