Indoor Air Quality Solutions for Sacramento’s Wildfire Season
Late summer in Sacramento doesn’t just bring heat—it brings smoke. Wildfires around California can drastically impact air quality across the Sacramento Valley, even if the fires are burning hundreds of miles away. For homeowners, this poses serious health risks, especially for children, the elderly, and anyone with respiratory conditions.
One of the best defenses against outdoor pollution is a strong indoor air quality system. At All Year Inc., we specialize in solutions that keep your home safe, comfortable, and breathable, even when the outdoor air is hazardous.
Upgrading your HVAC filter is one of the first and most effective steps. A high-MERV filter (such as MERV-13 or higher) can trap fine particles like smoke, dust, and pollen. These filters are designed to capture more pollutants without restricting airflow—when installed and maintained properly.
Another important step is scheduling an air duct cleaning. Over time, ducts can collect dust and airborne contaminants, which then recirculate through your home. Especially during wildfire season, a professional duct cleaning can dramatically improve the air you breathe and enhance HVAC efficiency.
If you’re looking for next-level protection, consider a whole-home air purifier or a UV air scrubber integrated into your HVAC system. These systems neutralize bacteria, allergens, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and can make a noticeable difference in your indoor air quality.
Dry indoor air can also be a concern in late summer. Humidifiers and thermostats with humidity control can help balance moisture levels and prevent irritation of the eyes, nose, and throat—all symptoms worsened by wildfire smoke.
The best time to address air quality is before the smoke arrives. That’s why we include air quality checks and filter recommendations in every AC tune-up. It’s part of our commitment to helping Sacramento homeowners breathe easy, even during the toughest months.
