Indoor Air Quality Services in Hershey, PA

Services Leaps and Bounds HVAC Provides in Hershey, PA

Air Purifiers and Whole-Home Filtration

A one-inch furnace filter captures large particles but lets the airborne contaminants that actually affect health pass right through: dust mite debris, mold spores, bacteria, and fine smoke particles. Leaps and Bounds installs whole-home filtration systems that work in line with your existing HVAC, cleaning the air across every room with every heating and cooling cycle. Families dealing with seasonal allergies or asthma see a real difference when the whole system filters rather than a single portable unit.

UV Light Systems and Air Scrubbers

UV light technology has been used in hospitals for decades to disrupt the DNA of airborne bacteria, mold, and viruses. Our in-duct UV systems and air scrubbers mount inside your air handler and run continuously alongside the system, targeting biologicals that filters cannot stop. For households with respiratory sensitivities, this is one of the most effective upgrades available.

Humidifiers and Dehumidifiers

Pennsylvania winters pull indoor relative humidity below 20% in many homes. At that level, wood floors crack, static electricity spikes, and the mucous membranes that defend against respiratory illness dry out. We install whole-home humidifiers tied directly to your heating system to maintain 35 to 45% relative humidity without the hassle of portable units. In summer, a whole-home dehumidifier reduces the load on your cooling system while keeping humidity in the range that discourages mold.

Duct Cleaning and Ventilation

Ductwork accumulates dust, pet dander, pollen, and mold over time. Our duct cleaning removes built-up contamination from inside the system so your HVAC delivers cleaner air with every cycle rather than recirculating what has settled. We also install whole-house fans and ventilation systems that bring fresh outdoor air in at a controlled rate, diluting indoor pollutants throughout the home.

Air Quality Testing

Before recommending any system, we test. Our technicians measure particulate levels, humidity, and other air conditions to identify what is actually present in your home. Every recommendation follows the data, not a standard sales script.

Hershey’s Indoor Air Quality Challenge: EPA Radon Zone 1

Hershey sits in Dauphin County, which the Environmental Protection Agency designates as Radon Zone 1, the highest risk category on the EPA’s county-by-county radon map. Zone 1 means the EPA predicts average indoor radon screening levels greater than 4 picocuries per liter, which is the agency’s action threshold. The limestone and shale geology underlying Dauphin County contains naturally occurring uranium that decays into radon gas, which then seeps upward through foundation cracks and collects indoors.

Because radon is colorless and odorless, there is no way to detect it without testing. The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection identifies radon as the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States, responsible for roughly 21,000 deaths annually. Improving whole-home ventilation, which Leaps and Bounds can install and balance, helps dilute indoor air pollutants by exchanging stale indoor air with fresh outdoor air at a controlled rate.

Every Service Includes Performance Verification

After any IAQ system installation or service, our technicians verify the system is operating correctly. For air purification systems, we confirm airflow through the unit falls within the manufacturer’s specified range, measured in cubic feet per minute. UV lamp output is tested to confirm it is producing effective output at the correct intensity.

For humidifiers, we measure indoor relative humidity and confirm the system is holding 35 to 45%. Dehumidifier drainage and output rate are verified before we leave. After duct cleaning, we check static pressure across the system to confirm airflow has improved. You receive written documentation of what was tested and found before the technician leaves your home.

Why Professional Indoor Air Quality Services Matter in Hershey, PA

Retail air purifiers cover one room. A UV lamp that burns out without being replaced becomes inactive equipment, and the homeowner still feels protected while the system does nothing. Improper humidifier sizing or settings create the opposite problem, encouraging mold growth in walls and attics instead of preventing it.

The EPA identifies indoor air quality as one of the top five environmental health risks facing Americans, with indoor pollutant levels commonly running two to five times higher than outdoor levels. Hershey homes sealed tightly against cold winters trap those pollutants inside. Professional installation and testing account for your home’s square footage, existing HVAC configuration, and air exchange rate, factors that determine whether a system actually works or just occupies space.

Leaps and Bounds holds Pennsylvania license #PA189570 and performs all work to code, which means documentation exists if you ever need it for an insurance claim or home sale.
