Take Control of the Air You Breathe at Home
Your average Missourian spends a lot of time indoors and, while you’re able to shield away from heavy pollen counts and humidity with a great AC, the indoor air itself can carry with it some serious issues. Indoor air can hold a ton of allergens itself, along with mold spores, dust, pet dander, and pollutants. More than you’d expect, and often with no real overt signs.
Chesterfield Service has been helping homeowners since 1976, and a big part of that is helping improve indoor air quality in Chesterfield with a full range of IAQ services tailored to every home and family, whatever they need.
Signs Your Home Has an Air Quality Problem
How do you know if you have an indoor air quality problem? Here are some classic signs that you might not notice right away on your own.
- Dust keeps building up faster than it should
- There are lingering stale or musty smells
- Your allergies or asthma keeps getting worse
- Stubborn humidity or dryness
- You’re always getting sick
These problems will often trace right back to your ducts, filtration, or the balance of moisture in the home. Chesterfield Service techs are trained to find any and all of those causes exactly.

Simple Ways to Improve Your Home's Air
So, how can you improve your air right now, before you call for comprehensive IAQ services in Chesterfield? Here are some DIY tips to use until you call Chesterfield Service.
- Change your HVAC filter: You have to keep regular with this; it’s the easiest way to make sure your air is as clean as possible. Change the filter every 1 to 3 months, depending on your system. It keeps everything from recirculating.
- Clean consistently: Keeping everything clean’s a great way to make sure particles of dust and everything else doesn’t go airborne. That means vacuuming, dusting, mopping, etc. every week.
- Control moisture: Use exhaust fans to deal with any leaks proactively to help discourage mold and mildew. Be sure to call us ASAP for any duct leaks!
- Install detectors: Keeping safe is important. Installing carbon monoxide detectors (and radon testing) protects against dangers you can’t see/smell.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I need an air purifier, filter, or something else?
It really comes down to your specific issue. If you’re suffering from allergies, you’ll want to invest in purifiers and air filters. If you want to nix germs and mold, you’ll want to lean toward UV. If you want better comfort overall, you’ll want humidity control. Whatever your needs, we’ll talk it over with you first and see which IAQ systems are right for you.
Do I need a humidifier or a dehumidifier?
Often both, but at different times of the year. You’ll need a humidifier for dry winters and a dehumidifier for hot and humid summers in Missouri.
Are these systems hard to maintain?
They’re all pretty low maintenance, but you still need to call on the pros for quality maintenance every year for seasonal work (and UV bulb changes) to keep everything working well.
