When most people think about air pollution, they picture smoggy city skylines or exhaust-filled highways. But the truth is, according to the EPA, the air inside your home can be two to five times more polluted than outdoor air. For residents of Oakdale, CA, where agricultural activity, dust, and seasonal allergens are common, indoor air quality (IAQ) plays a critical role in everyday health and comfort. If you’re unsure where to start the process of improving your home’s IAQ, a Free Indoor Air Quality Assessment from our team at DeHart Plumbing, Heating & Air, Inc. can identify problem areas and recommend tailored solutions for your home.

Monday, April 14th, 2025“Is My HVAC Air Filter Protecting My Indoor Air Quality?”
Monday, January 18th, 2021
The short answer to this is, “No.”
It’s not that the standard HVAC air filter hurts your indoor air quality. In fact, it does help a little. However, it’s not doing much to protect your indoor air quality, because that is not its purpose.
The air filter that comes standard with your HVAC system is actually in place to protect the system itself. It’s placed on the intake side, where your HVAC system draws in air. This prevents the system from sucking in dirt, dust, and other debris that can build up on its components and do the system harm. While it’s a very important component, it won’t do a whole lot to protect or help your indoor air quality in a significant way.
What will, then? A whole-house air purification system.
