According to the Environmental Protection Agency, indoor air pollutants can be up to five times more concentrated than outdoor pollutants. Surprisingly, the most significant sources of pollution are not the smokestacks and smog in urban areas, but rather the paint fumes and toxins present within your own home.

As homes become more energy-efficient, ventilation decreases, allowing pollutants to accumulate. Building materials, synthetic decor features, and household cleaners contribute more to indoor pollution than you might expect. Some common indoor pollutants include:

Off-gassing from fire-retardant furniture.
Radioactive radon emanating from the soil.
Vapors from cleaning products.
Allergens such as dust and mold.
Volatile organic compounds released by insulation, architectural features, and flooring materials.

With our air conditioning services, you can finally achieve the air quality you need to live a happy, healthy life. Chat with our friendly consultants at (888) 868-6667.

Signs That You Need Indoor Air Quality Services

Poor indoor air quality will cause health issues like eye irritation, headaches, and fatigue, but some pollutants produce far more catastrophic symptoms. They can increase your risk of heart disease, lung cancer, and respiratory infections while worsening the symptoms of asthma and other allergies. You need ABC’s indoor air quality services if:

You frequently come down with the flu, seasonal allergies, and respiratory symptoms. These are often caused by high levels of viruses, allergens, and bacteria.
You see condensation on your windows and mildew in your kitchen and bathroom. Dehumidifiers can relieve these effects.

FAQs

Can an air purifier be repaired if the UV bulb stops working?

Yes—most air purifiers with UV lamps can be repaired by replacing the UV bulb. Most failures happen because UV-C bulbs are consumables that fade or burn out over time. A technician can also test wiring and controls and confirm parts availability; for very old or discontinued models, replacing the unit may be more practical than sourcing rare components. We install and service indoor air quality equipment for homeowners throughout the Arlington Heights area. Technician insight: if the sight glass stays dark after installing a known-good lamp, the ballast is probably the issue.

When to repair or replace, at a glance:

Verify the exact model and lamp part number before ordering.
Try a new lamp first; if it still won’t light, have the ballast and safety interlock checked.
Consider replacement if the housing is damaged, ozone add-ons are outdated, or parts are unavailable.

Always shut off power and avoid direct UV exposure when inspecting or replacing a UV lamp.

How much does it cost to install UV light in an HVAC system?

The cost to install a UV light in an HVAC system is confirmed after an on-site evaluation because pricing varies by lamp type, placement, and installation complexity. Most of the price usually comes from the UV kit itself and how easy it is to access your air handler. ABC Plumbing, Sewer, Heating, Cooling and Electric installs UV germicidal lights to disinfect air and coil surfaces and can perform an indoor air quality test before work begins. We regularly complete these installs for homeowners in the Arlington Heights area. For coil-mounted UV, correct line-of-sight to the damp coil surface matters more than raw wattage. If you’re fighting recurring coil growth, installation often beats repeated cleanings; for dust or odors, pair UV with filtration or ventilation.

Main factors that influence your quote:

Single-lamp vs dual-lamp or coil + air-stream kits
Need for a new electrical connection or transformer
Air handler location and accessibility
Add-ons like IAQ testing or replacement bulbs

Schedule an evaluation and request a clear, itemized proposal including lamp type, placement, and maintenance schedule.

“Checked furnace and install air purifier in good time. Friendly service.” — Stephen C.

How much does professional air duct cleaning service cost?

Professional air duct cleaning costs vary case by case. Exact pricing depends on an in-home evaluation of your ducts. A technician will confirm costs on site. In Chicago, IL, factors include home size, number of supply/return vents, duct condition, accessibility, and add-ons like sanitizer, UV lights, or Aeroseal duct sealing. Our NATE-certified team provides duct cleaning within tailored indoor air quality plans and maintenance that help limit future buildup.

How much does whole-house humidifier installation typically cost?

Whole-house humidifier installation cost varies by home and equipment. We provide transparent, upfront pricing after an in-home evaluation by our NATE-certified HVAC technicians in Chicago and nearby areas. We install, maintain, repair, and replace whole-home humidifiers.

What affects price:

Humidifier type and capacity
Condition of existing HVAC/ductwork
Water line/drain and electrical needs
Thermostat or control integration
Optional IAQ testing or paired upgrades (air purifier, ventilator, UV lights)
