Why Indoor Air Quality Matters
The EPA estimates that indoor air can be 2-5 times more polluted than outdoor air. Since we spend 90% of our time indoors, the air we breathe at home significantly impacts our health, comfort, and well-being.
Poor indoor air quality affects everyone, but especially children, elderly, and those with allergies, asthma, or respiratory conditions. Symptoms range from minor irritation to serious respiratory problems and increased illness.
In Florida’s humid climate with year-round AC use, IAQ solutions are essential. Sealed homes trap pollutants, while humidity creates perfect conditions for mold and allergens.
Take care of your indoor air
Mini-splits excel in Florida’s climate, providing powerful cooling in summer and efficient heating during mild winters. Their zone control means you only cool or heat the rooms you’re using, maximizing efficiency and comfort.
Benefits of Quality Indoor Air
Clean air impacts every aspect of your home and health
Health & Wellness
We spend 90% of our time indoors. Clean air reduces illness, allergies, and respiratory problems.
Protect Vulnerable Family
Children, elderly, and those with health conditions are most affected by poor air quality.
Better Sleep & Focus
Quality air improves sleep, concentration, productivity, and overall quality of life.
Reduce Illness
Proper IAQ systems reduce transmission of colds, flu, and other airborne illnesses.
Protect Your Investment
Proper humidity control protects floors, furniture, and your home structure.
Florida-Specific Needs
High humidity and long cooling seasons make IAQ solutions critical in our climate.
Common Indoor Air Quality Issues
Identifying problems is the first step to solving them
Florida’s hot, humid climate creates unique indoor air quality challenges for homeowners across the state. Excess moisture often leads to mold and mildew growth, while constant air conditioning use can circulate dust, pollen, and other airborne allergens throughout the home. Poor ventilation may trap stale air and contaminants, contributing to odors, respiratory irritation, and reduced comfort.
Identifying these indoor air quality issues early is the first step toward improving airflow, reducing allergens, and creating a healthier living environment for Florida residents year-round.

Mounting your indoor unit
Because of their thinner tubes and cable connections, the indoor units in a mini-split system can go more places than a traditional ducted vent.
The most typical indoor unit you’ll see is a wall-mounted unit. These are generally mounted about 6 inches from the ceiling in order to distribute cool air downwards, as the warmer air will rise.
Beyond wall-mounted, other indoor units can be:
- Floor-mounted: These are great for homes where windows, ceilings, or other room design prevents easy wall-mounting.
- Floor-standing: Best for walls with even less usable space.
- Ceiling cassette: More subtle look and better downward air spread.
- Ceiling suspended: Provides more airflow but makes more noise, too.
Professional Installation Process
Most installations are completed in 4-8 hours with minimal disruption to your home. We protect your floors, clean up completely, and haul away all materials.
