Hurlburt is here to help you improve your indoor air quality (IAQ) in Hugo, MN. We have a small-town, people-driven culture and really care about the families we serve. There are many new neighborhoods in the area, such as Victor Gardens and Egg Lake. Many of the houses in these areas are less than 15 years old. They have tight building envelopes and are still affected by the off-gassing of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from new construction materials. There are often wildfires to contend with. The local wetland humidity leads to basement bloom and even home-wide summertime humidity problems. The freezing winters bring their own humidity concerns along with the risk of heating-related carbon monoxide (CO) exposure. Our experts can help you protect your IAQ with a whole-home air purifier in Hugo, MN. We also install ultraviolet (UV) lights, humidifiers, and dehumidifiers.

Whether you live downtown along Highway 61 or out near Barker Lake, you can benefit from better IAQ. The core whole-home IAQ systems we offer include:

Air purifiers: A whole-home air purifier can trap most VOCs and particulate matter, including dust, pollen, pet dander, mold spores, and more.
Germicidal lights: In-duct UV lamps can neutralize most pathogens in order to reduce your family’s exposure to colds, flus, and other common illnesses.
Humidifiers: Eliminate the health issues related to dry air with a whole-house humidifier that balances your relative humidity (RH) throughout the winter.
Dehumidifiers: Opt for a dedicated humidifier to prevent basement bloom or a whole-home system that balances summertime humidity throughout your home.

Do Minnesota’s Seasons Have an Impact on IAQ?

The seasons in our region can have a dramatic impact on your IAQ. Air is naturally drier in winter because cold air holds less water vapor. Winters in our region are long and extremely cold, which is why many households can benefit from a whole-home humidifier in Hugo, MN. Many homes also have fuel-fired heating, which presents the risk of CO exposure.

During the summer, humidity levels are high due to the area’s lakes, including Oneka Lake and Rice Lake. Homes in the area’s wetlands can require year-round dehumidification, even in the winter. During the spring and fall, the area is prone to large temperature and humidity transitions. Those can cause sudden, sharp changes in IAQ.

How Air Moves Through Your Hugo Home

The air in your home is constantly flowing from one room to the next. Ambient air, often laden with particulate matter, enters the home through natural ventilation. When the HVAC system is on, it’s forcing the home’s air through ducts and vents. You also get air movement from people, ceiling fans, bathroom and kitchen exhaust systems, and so on. That means that IAQ issues in one area of the home tend to end up in the others as well.

The good news is that households have options to improve these conditions. We can optimize your HVAC equipment to minimize negative impacts on IAQ. We can provide you with active, around-the-clock air pollution protection with a whole-home air purifier. You can also regulate your indoor relative humidity (RH) with a whole-home humidifier and/or whole-home dehumidifier.

FAQs

If you have questions about indoor air quality in Hugo, MN, Hurlburt has the answers you need.

The air is naturally drier during winter because cold air holds less moisture. In homes, limited ventilation and fuel-fired heating can exacerbate this problem. Seasonal heating tune-ups, regular HVAC filter changes, and good circulation via ceiling fans are imperative. You should also consider controlling your wintertime RH with a whole-home humidifier in Hugo, MN.

When the HVAC blower is on, the filter provides whole-home air filtration to a certain degree. That’s why it’s important to use a filter with as high an MERV rating as your system allows. Be mindful that filtration is limited due to the static air pressure requirements of HVAC equipment. For more comprehensive filtration, we recommend a whole-home HEPA air purifier in Hugo, MN.
