Austin Has a Unique Indoor Air Quality Challenge

Austin residents deal with some of the highest cedar pollen counts in the country every winter. Add spring and fall allergies, summer humidity, pet dander, and the dust that comes with Texas construction and remodeling — and you have a city where indoor air quality matters more than most people realize.

The EPA estimates that indoor air can be 2 to 5 times more polluted than outdoor air, especially in modern, tightly-sealed homes. HVAC systems circulate air throughout your home constantly, which makes them the perfect place to add air quality improvements that work 24/7.

Hank's AC Service installs and services a full range of whole-home air quality solutions — from high-MERV filtration and UV sanitizers to whole-home humidifiers and duct cleaning. We'll assess your home's specific needs and recommend the right combination for your family.

Indoor Air Quality — Austin Homeowners Ask

Common questions about improving the air inside your Austin home.

Is indoor air quality a real problem in Austin, TX?
Yes. Austin has some of the highest cedar pollen counts in the country (cedar fever season runs November–February), plus significant spring and fall allergen loads, humidity-driven mold risk, and pet dander. Modern energy-efficient homes seal pollutants in. The EPA finds indoor air is typically 2–5x more polluted than outdoor air.
What's the best whole-home air purifier for Austin?
It depends on your main concerns. For allergens (cedar, pollen, dust, pet dander), a high-MERV media filter or HEPA bypass system is highly effective. For mold, bacteria, and viruses, UV air sanitizers are the best tool. For most Austin families, a combination approach works best — we'll recommend what makes sense for your specific home after an assessment.
Do I need a dehumidifier in Austin?
Possibly yes. Austin's humidity varies widely — spring and fall can be quite humid, creating conditions for mold growth inside the home. Signs you may need a dehumidifier: musty odors, condensation on windows, wood swelling, or allergy symptoms that worsen at home. A whole-home unit integrated with your HVAC keeps humidity in the ideal 40–60% range automatically.
How often should I clean my air ducts in Austin?
Every 3–5 years for most Austin homes, or sooner if you've had recent remodeling, notice dust buildup around vents, smell something musty from vents, or have multiple pets. We'll inspect your ducts first and give you an honest assessment — we don't recommend cleaning when it's not needed.
How does a UV air sanitizer work?
UV-C germicidal lamps emit ultraviolet light that disrupts the DNA of microorganisms — bacteria, mold spores, and viruses — as air passes through your HVAC system. Installed inside the ductwork near the air handler, they run continuously and require only an annual bulb replacement. They're particularly effective at preventing mold growth on the evaporator coil.
