Infuse Fresh Air Into Your Home
At Christian, we have indoor air quality experts on staff who appreciate the great challenges that come with minimizing indoor air pollution. The EPA advises that indoor air pollution is a top health risk for many Americans. The pollution present in our homes has both internal and external causes. We can often eliminate the internal causes by removing the sources. External causes are a much greater challenge because we have very little control over pollution generated by the climate, traffic, local industries, and so forth. Reducing these levels requires mechanical filtration and even biological purification. This is why we often recommend our customers invest in an air scrubber. These devices were initially developed for use by NASA but have since been adapted for home use. Scrubbers can eliminate odors, bacteria, viruses, mold spores, dust mites, pollen, and more.

Call NowOther Methods For Improving Indoor Air Quality
While an air scrubber may be your best line of defense, it is not the only one. Christian recommends a multifaceted approach, including being mindful of inadvertently introducing pollutant sources, routine HVAC maintenance, regular air filter replacement, duct cleaning, and so forth. You may also want to consider other indoor air quality equipment, such as humidifiers and dehumidifiers.
-
ENHANCED AIR FILTERS
Christian recommends replacing air filters every three months at a bare minimum. The ideal approach is to inspect your filters each month and replace them when there are visual signs of dirt. Clogged air filters can cause your HVAC system to work harder in addition to causing indoor air quality issues.
-
UVC AIR PURIFIERS
Air purifiers also use ultraviolet light to remove indoor air pollution. The approach used is similar to that employed by medical facilities to eradicate airborne pathogens. While an air purifier may be viewed as an alternative to an air scrubber, they can often be used in combination to great effect.
-
HUMIDIFIERS
The air is drier in winter, which is often exacerbated as a byproduct of heating your home. Low humidity not only makes us less comfortable but can foster the perfect environment for many contaminants. A humidifier eases this problem while lowering your heating and maintenance costs.
-
DEHUMIDIFIERS
Achieving ideal relative humidity is often an even greater challenge in summer. A humidifier makes you more comfortable and greatly eases the work your AC has to do. It also helps to avoid an indoor environment that can be perfect for mold spores, pollen, pets, and many other types of pollutants.
Frequently Asked Questions About Air Scrubbers
What is an air scrubber?
An air scrubber is an advanced indoor air purification system that attaches directly to your HVAC system to actively clean the air and surfaces throughout your home.
Christian Heating, Cooling, Plumbing & Electrical installs air scrubbers that help:

Unlike passive filtration systems, air scrubbers actively treat the air as it circulates.
How do air scrubbers work?
Air scrubbers use advanced technology to clean and purify the air inside your home.
These systems typically:
- Attach to your HVAC ductwork
- Use light-based or catalytic processes to neutralize contaminants
- Release purifying agents into the air to reduce pollutants
As your HVAC system runs, the air scrubber continuously improves air quality throughout your home.
What pollutants do air scrubbers remove?
Air scrubbers are designed to target a wide range of indoor air contaminants.
They help reduce:
- Dust and airborne particles
- Pollen and allergens
- Pet dander

- Odors from cooking, pets, or smoke
This makes them a powerful solution for improving indoor air quality.
Are air scrubbers better than standard air filters?
Air scrubbers and air filters serve different purposes and often work best together.
- Air filters trap particles as air passes through
- Air scrubbers actively neutralize contaminants in the air and on surfaces
Combining both systems provides more complete air purification for your home.
