Indoor Air Quality Services That Match Your Problem

Most homeowners in Murrieta notice a problem before they know which IAQ service they need. Here's how to match your symptom to the right solution: if your home feels dry and you're dealing with static electricity, cracked wood, or dry sinuses β€” look at a whole-home humidifier. If you notice excessive dust on surfaces even after cleaning β€” start with air duct cleaning or a whole-home filtration system. If the air feels heavy or you see condensation on windows β€” a dehumidifier is the likely fix.

Why Choose Our IAQ Team

Why Inland Empire Homeowners Trust Our IAQ Team

Gardner Plumbing Co. is a licensed HVAC contractor serving Murrieta, Temecula, Menifee, and the greater Inland Empire (CA Contractor's License {{CSLB_C20_LICENSE_TBD}}). Our IAQ team has completed over 650 air quality installations and cleanings across Riverside County β€” from air duct cleanings in Perris to whole-home filtration installs in Canyon Lake. Every job is assessed first, quoted upfront, and completed by a licensed technician.

The Inland Empire has specific indoor air quality challenges that coastal Southern California doesn't share. Summer wildfire smoke season β€” increasingly common from August through October β€” drives fine particulates (PM2.5) into homes through every gap in the building envelope. Desert dust from the Santa Ana winds adds a second seasonal layer. Homes built in the 1980s and 1990s in Murrieta and Temecula often have ductwork that hasn't been cleaned in a decade or more, circulating accumulated debris through the living space every time the HVAC runs. And the IE's dry summer air β€” routinely dropping below 20% relative humidity β€” causes health and structural problems that a correctly sized whole-home humidifier can prevent. These are local conditions. The right IAQ solution depends on which of them affects your home.

Emergency Service

When Indoor Air Quality Becomes an Urgent Situation

A burning or chemical smell coming from the vents, visible mold growth near supply registers, or a suspected refrigerant leak creating indoor air hazards are not wait-a-week situations. Our line is live 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Common Emergency Situations:

Chemical or burning smell from HVAC vents
Visible mold growth at or near supply registers
Refrigerant smell indoors (sweet chemical odor)
Sudden severe allergy or respiratory symptoms at home
Wildfire smoke infiltrating through HVAC system
Strong musty odor starting suddenly after HVAC runs
Carbon monoxide detector triggered near air handler
