Millcreek's Trusted Whole Home Air Purification Company

How a whole-home system works

A whole-home system sits inside the heating and cooling equipment you already have. Ozone-free UV-C lamps shine on the cooling coil and the air moving past it, and an upgraded filter catches more of the fine dust the blower pulls through the return. Because every room is served by the same ducts, every room gets the benefit, with no extra cords, extra filters or extra noise.

We size the setup to your equipment. A 1960s house with a newer furnace in the basement needs different parts than a townhome with a compact air handler in a hall closet.

Inversion weeks and smoke days in Millcreek

The Division of Air Quality reports that a typical Utah winter averages 18 days with fine particulate above the federal standard. Inversions often settle in after a snowstorm and hold until another storm clears them out. For a Millcreek household, that means long stretches with the house shut and the furnace cycling.

In summer, wildfire smoke can sit in the valley for days. Fox 13 reported guidance pointing Utah homeowners to filters rated MERV 12 or higher during smoke and inversion periods, and an Intermountain Healthcare physician noted that there is only so much a home air conditioner can filter.

We can't change the air outside. A whole-home system works on the air inside: less dust in circulation, fewer lingering odors and a cleaner coil.

Fitting the system to Millcreek homes

Millcreek's housing runs from postwar houses in Canyon Rim to hillside homes in Olympus Cove, along with thousands of condo and apartment units. Census figures show about nine in ten houses here heat with natural gas. In a forced-air home, the furnace blower is the starting point for a whole-home system.

If your ducts haven't been cleaned in a long time, we may suggest cleaning them first, so the new equipment isn't moving old debris around. If they are in good shape, we will say so and skip it. One call covers both if you need them.

Basements deserve a look during the same visit. Many Millcreek houses have bedrooms and family rooms downstairs that were finished well after the house was built, and those rooms often sit at the end of long duct runs. If a basement room feels stale or musty, the cause may be moisture rather than air quality, and no purifier fixes a damp wall. In that case we'll tell you, and we can check for mold before recommending equipment. Treating the air only makes sense once the source of the smell is understood.

Upkeep through the year

UV-C lamps and filters need regular attention to keep working. We show you how to change the filter, tell you when lamps are due and can check the system when you book other service. Indoor humidity still matters as well. The EPA recommends keeping it below 60 percent and ideally between 30 and 50, and a whole-home system works best in a house that stays in that range.

We install systems across Millcreek's ZIP codes, including 84106, 84107, 84109, 84117 and 84124.
