Common indoor air quality (iaq) issues in Tempe
- MERV-13 installed without airflow check, higher MERV restricts airflow. Installing MERV-13 in a system that wasn't designed for it can starve the AC and cause coil freezing. A pro measures static pressure first.
- UV-C light pointed at the wrong surface, a UV bulb installed near the air handler does almost nothing; it needs to face the evaporator coil to kill biofilm. Many DIY installs miss this.
- ERV/HRV oversold for older Phoenix homes, energy/heat recovery ventilators make sense in tight new builds (2018+). Older Phoenix homes are leaky enough that ERV adds complexity without proportional benefit.
- In Tempe specifically, rental properties drive a different service mix in tempe, and that pattern shapes how indoor air quality (iaq) calls get scoped and which contractors fit the work.
