Air Quality

Indoor Air Quality Solutions for Albuquerque Homes

Indoor air quality is a growing concern for New Mexico homeowners. Between dust storms, wildfire smoke season, pet dander, and everyday pollutants, the air inside your home can be 2 to 5 times more polluted than outdoor air. MGP Mechanical installs and services a full range of indoor air quality products to help your family breathe cleaner, healthier air.

Air Purification Systems

Whole-home air purifiers integrate directly into your existing HVAC ductwork to capture and neutralize airborne particles, bacteria, viruses, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Carrier's Infinity Air Purifier uses Captures & Kills™ technology to trap up to 95% of pathogens down to 0.30 microns — far more effective than standard filters alone. These systems run silently in the background every time your HVAC system operates.

UV Germicidal Lights

UV-C germicidal lamps installed inside your air handler or ductwork destroy mold, bacteria, and viruses as air passes through the system. This is especially valuable in Albuquerque where evaporative cooler season can introduce moisture into ductwork, creating conditions for mold growth. UV lights are a low-maintenance, chemical-free solution that works 24/7 to keep your air clean.

Ventilation & Fresh Air Systems

Modern homes are built tight for energy efficiency, which can trap stale air and pollutants inside. Energy recovery ventilators (ERVs) and heat recovery ventilators (HRVs) bring in fresh outdoor air while recovering energy from the exhaust air — maintaining efficiency while improving indoor air freshness. This is particularly beneficial during New Mexico's mild spring and fall seasons.

Humidity Control

Albuquerque's dry climate means winter humidity levels can drop below 15% indoors, causing dry skin, respiratory irritation, static electricity, and damage to wood furniture and flooring. Whole-home humidifiers add controlled moisture to your heated air, maintaining comfortable humidity levels between 30-50% throughout the heating season.
