What does air purification & uv involve in Wilmington?
Whole-house air purifiers and cleaners typically cost about $400 to $4,000 installed, and UV lights for the coil about $400 to $800. A 4- to 5-inch media filter cabinet often gives the biggest improvement for the money. UV lights keep the coil cleaner but do not replace filtration or moisture control.
What are the signs you need air purification & uv?
- Heavy dust on furniture
- Pollen and allergy season complaints

What is different about Wilmington properties?
Spring tree pollen along the Brandywine and summer ozone alerts both push people toward better filtration. Sealing leaky return ducts in basements and attics often matters as much as the filter itself.
Which brands and equipment are covered?
