Indoor Air Quality Services in Downers Grove, IL
INDOOR AIR QUALITY
Dehumidifiers, Humidifiers, & Air Cleaners
The air inside your home is not the same air you get outdoors, and in a tightly sealed Chicago area house it can be considerably worse. Summer humidity feeds mold and dust mites even when your air conditioner is keeping up. Winter heating dries the air out until you are dealing with cracked skin, static, and separating trim. The right equipment fixes both problems, and it is not the same piece of equipment for each one.
Robert Bair Plumbing, Heating & Air has been solving indoor air quality problems in Downers Grove and the surrounding DuPage County suburbs since 1974.
This is where dehumidifiers come in. In some cases, however, there may not be enough humidity to go around. This is a job for humidifiers. The air we breathe in may seem pure, but you won’t know for sure unless you have an air cleaner.

How to Tell Which System Your Home Needs
Dehumidifiers are mainly used in areas that have humidity levels up to 50 percent higher than relative humidity. There are various types of dehumidifiers ranging from small to large.
Small dehumidifiers work best in smaller rooms of the house and large dehumidifiers are best suited for larger areas.
Similar to air filters, air cleaners collect contaminants such as mold spores, dust, dirt and dander.
- Removes allergy and asthma triggers
- Wards of respiratory illness by trapping cigarette and tobacco smoke
- Eliminates radon gas
- Reduces the levels of carbon dioxide
Humidifiers are the exact opposite of dehumidifiers. Instead of removing humidity, it adds to it. Humidifiers are mainly used in places where dry air is prevalent. Dry air can cause the humidity levels to drop below 35 percent of relative humidity. Similar to dehumidifiers, humidifiers come in many forms ranging from small to large. Furthermore, our HVAC service offer humidifiers that can be directly attached to your unit.
Our shop is at 447 Rogers Street in Downers Grove, a few minutes from most of the homes we work in. We have been servicing houses around here since 1974, so we know the housing stock. The older houses in town tend to run dry all winter. The newer ones hold onto humidity and dust because they are sealed up tight.
