Indoor Air Quality for Kendall buildings
Forty-year-old attic ducts in Kendall are often grey flex duct with a brittle outer jacket, or duct board with failed tape at every joint. Air lost in the attic never reaches the bedrooms at the end of the run. We pressure-test the duct system and show you the leakage figure before recommending sealing or replacement.
Florida homes are kept closed for most of the year, so whatever is in the air stays there: dust, pet dander, cooking fumes, cleaning chemicals and mould spores. The air conditioner recirculates all of it many times a day.
We start by measuring humidity, particles and volatile compounds, then recommend only what addresses the readings: better filtration, humidity control, fresh-air ventilation or air purification.
Solutions we install
- High-efficiency media filters (MERV 11 to 13)
- Whole-home dehumidifiers
- UV-C lights for the coil and air stream
- Fresh-air ventilation with humidity control
- Electronic air cleaners
Our process
- We measure humidity, particle levels and VOCs, and inspect the coil and ducts.
- We explain the readings and what is causing them.
- We install the solution inside your existing system and retest.
Indoor Air Quality in Kendall: questions
What indoor humidity should I aim for in Miami?
Between 45 and 55 percent. Above 60 percent, mould and dust mites thrive and the house feels warmer than the thermostat reading.
Will a higher MERV filter damage my system?
A thick one-inch high-MERV filter can restrict airflow. A four-inch media cabinet gives high filtration with low resistance, and it is what we normally recommend.
Is a permit required for HVAC work in Kendall?
Installing or replacing air conditioning equipment in Kendall requires a mechanical permit and a final inspection. Permits here are issued by Miami-Dade County, since Kendall is unincorporated and has no city building department. Repairs, maintenance and cleaning do not need one. We file the paperwork and attend the inspection.
Who issues AC permits in Kendall?
Kendall is an unincorporated community, so mechanical permits come from Miami-Dade County's permitting office instead of a city building department. We file the permit, schedule the county inspection and meet the inspector on site.
Why are the back bedrooms in my Kendall house always warmer?
On single-storey Kendall homes the bedrooms are usually at the end of the longest duct runs. Leaky or crushed attic ducts and an undersized return are the usual causes. We measure airflow at each register and fix the duct problem, which is often cheaper than replacing the air conditioner.
