Indoor air quality refers to the quality of the air in a home, school, office, or other building environment. According to the EPA, Americans, on average, spend approximately 90 percent of their time indoors, where the concentrations of some pollutants are often 2 to 5 times higher than typical outdoor concentrations. This is why in addition to routine HVAC maintenance like changing your filters consistently, we offer additional options to improve the indoor air quality in your home.

According to the EPA, Americans, on average, spend approximately 90 percent of their time indoors, where the concentrations of some pollutants are often 2 to 5 times higher than typical outdoor concentrations.
These pollutants can include:
Fuel-burning combustion appliances
Tobacco products
Building materials and furnishings as diverse as:
Deteriorated asbestos-containing insulation
Newly installed flooring, upholstery, or carpet
Cabinetry or furniture made of certain pressed wood products
Products for household cleaning and maintenance, personal care, or hobbies
Poor performing central heating and cooling systems and humidification devices
Excess moisture
Outdoor sources such as:
Radon
Pesticides
Outdoor air pollution
How does indoor air quality affect my health over time?
Individuals with pre-existing conditions may have a harder time with poor indoor air quality conditions but even a healthy individual may experience symptoms like increased allergies after being continually exposed to poor indoor air conditions. Symptoms could include:
Irritation of the eyes, nose, and throat.
Headaches, dizziness, and fatigue.
Respiratory diseases, heart disease, and cancer.
How do I improve the indoor air quality in my home or office near Magnolia?
Change your air filters regularly. Around every 90 days you should replace your air filter to help maintain good air flow and keep particles and allergens out of the air you breathe. If you have multiple pets in the home or your air conditioning unit is working harder, like in the summer, you may want to replace your filter sooner than 90 days.
Schedule an antimicrobial fogging with duct cleaning service. This kills microbes and mildew that may be growing in the air ducts. After fogging it is recommended to have your ducts cleaned to remove the debris which prevents regrowth.
Invest in advanced media filters or Air Scrubbing Technology like the Aerus Air Scrubber: These options are designed to filter and kill bacteria, viruses, germs, odors and more as air is pulled through the unit, releasing clean air into your home.
A licensed HVAC company will be able to go over all the indoor air quality improvement options available and see which one will best suite your family’s budget and needs. We offer a wide range of options here at Country Air and are always happy to answer your questions and give free estimates. Give us a call at 281-356-8564.
Indoor Air Quality Services
Media Filters
Unless you have special equipment installed into your HVAC unit that is designed to filter and kill bacteria, viruses, germs, odors and more as air is pulled through the unit, all your doing is spreading your sick family member's germs from one room to the next, exposing everyone in your home or office to their germs!
Country Air offers several affordable equipment options when it comes to indoor air quality that our team can help you learn about. Call us for a free quote to start enjoying the effects of clean air in your home or office today!
Antimicrobial Fogging
After an air duct inspection, your Certified HVAC Technician might recommend an antimicrobial air duct fogging if they discover a presence of microbes and mildew growing in the air ducts. A build up of microbes throughout your ductwork will result in poor air quality and possible health effects to your family over time.
Antimicrobial fogging is generally done along side an air duct cleaning service. The fogging kills microbes and sterilizes the air duct system and then the duct cleaning removes any remaining particles.
You might need antimicrobial fogging if:
Mildew is visible on HVAC registers or ducts
Your home or office smells damp/musty
You or your family members are constantly sick or fighting allergies.
The air ducts in your home serve an important role in the functionality of your HVAC system. After time, air ducts can become clogged with dust and debris which causes the efficiency of your HVAC unit to decline, shortening your HVAC system’s life, increasing your monthly energy bills and impacting your indoor air quality.
The air duct cleaning experts at Country Air can inspect your HVAC system’s air ducts to see whether or not a cleaning is recommended. We can also detect and clean out other problems with your ductwork like the presence of microbes often caused by too much humidity.
We exclusively use JPL’s AMBlue II duct in all of our new installs. With the high humidity climate we live in here in Houston, we feel it is necessary to provide our customers with a product that is designed to prevent microbe growth in the ductwork throughout the home, resulting in improved indoor air quality over time. AMBlue II is a high quality flexible duct that is specifically engineered for that purpose. Learn more about AMBlue II from the informational product flyer here.

Natalie was great at explaining the Comfort Club promotion. The techs checked out the system to make sure it was charged and working well. No issues! Yay! It’s important to get the ac checked every 6 months… More which is covered in the Club annual fee. The techs were super nice and professional doing a thorough inspection. Angelina was great in following through. Happy we chose them.
We have been lifelong residential customers of Country Air so of course we would choose the best in the business for OUR small business. They got a tech scheduled and out to see us within a couple hours… More of calling, and Shannon was able to fix the issue quickly. A/c is back to cooling great!! Thanks again Country Air!
Zack was very knowledgeable and explained everything to me. I was very impressed with their quick turn around time and professionalism! Would definitely recommend Country Air to all of my neighbors!
I am very pleased with our repair service from Country Air. They were quick to respond when our A/C stopped working and diagnosed the problem. They had great integrity in telling us that the unit was still… More under warranty from the manufacture and replaced the part at a fair price to us and secured the parts under warranty from the manufacture. We will have them programmed in our phone for future service.
I have used Country Air for over 6 years now and they have never disappointed!
I refuse to call anyone else but Country Air when it comes to my A/C and Heater system. They are professional, courteous,… More very knowledgeable, and show up when they say they will. Not to mention their competitive pricing is always a plus!
Thank You Country Air Family!
We love this company! They never overcharge and always recommend just what you need. THIS is the meaning of smart business model. The compassion comes through each of their technicians- I would recommend… More to anyone needing repair/maintenance etc.
I’ve been with a CountryAir for about two years and they have been an outstanding service.
Blake came out and serviced my HVAC system this year. He was thoughtful and tried to resolve every question that… More I had. What I appreciated about him was his determination to answer my concerns. He gave me valuable advice on how to care for my system and I am grateful for that.
I would highly recommend Blake’s service and CountryAir for continued satisfaction in my HVAC unit. Thanks Y’all.
They were recommended to me by another AC company (current company no longer serviced my brand of units) and was told I’d be very pleased with them. They were correct! I called at early and was put on… More the schedule for the same day given the nature of the problem. Tech arrived and was very professional, explained everything well and addressed the issue quickly. We will definitely use them again!
I called at 3 in the afternoon and they came out in 30 min. They didn’t have the part but the technician hooked it up so me and my kids would have AC for the night until the part came in after going 4… More days without AC. Very professional and efficient from the office to the technician. 10/10 recommended.
Got our new ducts installed yesterday along with a much needed dryer vent cleaning. Service was efficient and everyone was friendly. Needless to say, we are now members of The Comfort Club. I highly recommend… More this company to anyone with HVAC needs 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Country Air is the only company I'll ever use. I'm treated as though I am the most important customer they have. My appointment was scheduled quickly and the techs were on time. Zac explained… More everything and was able to diagnose and repair my system. Being part of the Comfort Club is definitely worth it! Thank you Country Air for always being there for our family. ❤
The guy did a great job. Very informative to a layman like myself. gave me several options. I explained my finances and he did the job that I could afford. Very happy with this experience.
Country air responded very quickly to my call to assess the a/c unit in my house. They checked out all aspects of the unit and recommended solutions based on the condition. Very courteous and friendly… More service.
This was my first time using this company after another one giving me the run around. The front office lady I talked to on the phone, Angelina, was SO nice. She listened to all my problems from another… More company not doing anything about my AC issues. She actually cared. I called at 2 pm on a Friday and they got me in same day, no problem. The tech that came out to find the issue for us, Zac, AMAZING. So helpful, knowledgeable, very trustworthy, all around good person. I would recommend this company to everyone! (not getting paid for this, they are just awesome and I was blown away because we’ve have terrible HVAC experiences) We’ll never use another company and always ask for Zac if he’s available!
I’m out of town and needed my AC looked at. She answered, booked the technician for a few hours later the same day! Tomorrow it will be fixed as the rain prohibited finding the leak. Thank you, Country… More Air! Your Prompt service is so appreciated!
Vic and Andres were professional and knowledgeable. Got the job done promptly and we’re very happy with the service! So thankful to have cool air again during this heat wave.
Gavin was the best as Dylan was too! Thank you guys so much! Quick and stress free! Gavin was very professional and very thorough! Made us feel as we were as important as his own family! Thanks guys for… More being so great!
