Plasma Air Purifier
A Plasma Air Purifier is a whole-home indoor air quality solution. This technology reduces airborne pollutants, viruses, mold, and other harmful particles. The Pure Plasma Air Purifier outperforms UV light IAQ solutions because it does not rely on the filtration of viruses and bacteria. Instead, plasma technology kills contaminants floating in your air. This technology is being used by indoor air quality specialists to combat contaminants nationwide in schools, hospitals, packing plants, hotels, and more. Now you can benefit from this technology at home. Ask us how!

UV Light Air Purification System
Installing an Ultraviolet (UV-C) Light Air Purification System, or Germicidal Light, significantly improves your indoor air quality by purifying the air circulating throughout your HVAC system. UV light air purification systems are proven to eliminate 93.6% of all viruses, bacteria, and germs in just two hours! UV-C lights are placed in the air ducts of your existing heating and air system to safely remove harmful pathogens like airborne viruses and germs before they reach you – helping you breathe clean, purified air.
Air Duct Cleaning
Air duct cleaning is the process of removing dust, allergens, and other airborne irritants that enter your home through the circulation of your warmed or cooled air. This type of indoor air pollution often goes unnoticed as it’s hidden within the ductwork of your home. We recommend having your system’s ducts professionally cleaned by a licensed and certified Bill Howe technician every three to five years. If you can see dirt in your ducts or registers, it’s time to have them cleaned.
Routine duct cleaning is a cornerstone of improving indoor air quality. Beyond the dust and debris that can build up in your ducting, mold and small rodents make their home within ductwork and can negatively affect indoor air quality. Bill Howe’s air duct cleaning services will take care of all these
possible pollutants.
Common Sources of Indoor Air Pollution in San Diego
San Diego shares many of the same air pollutants as most major cities, which can cause a range of issues with indoor air quality. Additionally, the San Diego climate and environment present other air quality challenges, including fire season, mild year-round temperatures, and coastal humidity. Here are the most common types of indoor air pollution in San Diego that can be managed with indoor air quality services.
- The too frequent wildfires in San Diego County create fine particles that can easily enter homes and cause health issues and odor problems.
- San Diego’s year-round mild climate leads to consistently high levels of pollen that can get indoors and wreak havoc on those with allergies or other respiratory challenges.
- San Diego County is considered a relatively dry area, but the constant coastal humidity can help create the optimal environment for unhealthy mold growth.
- Cleaning products, paint, and new upholstery or carpet can release harmful Volatile Organic Compounds into the air.
- Gas appliances can release nitrogen dioxide (NO2), carbon monoxide, and other dangerous gases.
- Older properties can contain lead and asbestos, which is of particular concern for older adults and children.
- Dust, pet dander, and dust mites can flow freely in unfiltered air and can cause a range of symptoms from trouble breathing to allergic reactions.
- Both indoor and outdoor pesticides can contain numerous chemicals that can cause health problems, from blurred vision to skin rashes.
- Secondary cigarette or cigar smoke has been proven to be a health risk for non-smokers who live in the same home.
With so many factors affecting San Diego’s air quality, it makes sense to invest in indoor air quality services for your home. Professional air purifier installation of an electronic air cleaner, ultraviolet air purification system, or other air cleaning unit can make a significant difference with every breath.
The Bill Howe Process: What to Expect
While minimizing specific contaminants and pollutants may require various types of technology and filtration, our approach to cleaner air involves three phases. We begin with the source control phase, which includes identifying and minimizing or eliminating existing sources of pollutants and contaminants. Our expert team then assesses the degree of ventilation to determine how much fresh air is entering your home and how much stale air is being expelled. The final phase of our air quality service includes selecting and installing the ideal air purifier for your specific air quality issues.
