Breathe Easier with Trusted Indoor Air Quality Testing in Sussex County
Willco Air Conditioning, Refrigeration & Heating Inc. has been helping Sussex County families breathe easier since 1988. We’ve seen it all: mold hiding behind drywall, airborne allergens making homes uncomfortable, and even carbon monoxide going undetected.
Indoor air quality (IAQ) directly affects how you feel every day. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) reports that indoor air can be two to five times more polluted than outdoor air. In older Sussex County homes, where insulation is tight and ventilation is limited, pollutants often get trapped, recirculating through your heating and cooling system. That’s where we come in.

Even the cleanest-looking home can hide serious air quality issues. Microscopic mold spores, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from household cleaners and furniture, and high humidity levels are common culprits. Many homes in Sussex County rely on well water and oil heating, factors that can impact IAQ in subtle but serious ways.
We’ve worked with homeowners who were unaware of a mold bloom in their attic insulation and those who found relief from chronic allergies once pet dander and dust issues were properly addressed. A healthier home starts with cleaner air.
How We Solve Common Air Quality Problems
Even when the culprits are invisible, the solutions don’t have to be complicated. At Willco, we recommend air purification systems designed to work silently within your existing ductwork, delivering cleaner, healthier air to every room.
How These Systems Work
These aren’t bulky portable units or quick fixes. They’re integrated into your home’s HVAC system, treating the air as it circulates. Every time your system runs, it’s filtering out what doesn’t belong.
What Air Purifiers Target
- Fine particles like dust, smoke, pet dander, and pollen, improving air clarity and reducing allergy triggers.
- Chemical fumes, including VOCs and even formaldehyde, common in paints, furniture, and cleaning products.
- Germs and biological contaminants such as mold spores, bacteria, and viruses, both in the air and on surfaces.
- Persistent odors — not just masking smells but breaking them down at the source.
- Ozone reduction — some solutions actively convert ozone into oxygen, creating a cleaner environment without harmful byproducts.
We’ll never push a one-size-fits-all fix. What we recommend depends entirely on what’s in your air — and what will actually improve your comfort.
Poor Air Quality Affects Health and Comfort
Dry eyes, sneezing, coughing, and persistent fatigue are often linked to poor indoor air quality. Long-term exposure to indoor pollutants has been associated with respiratory problems, asthma, and other chronic health issues. We’re not here to alarm you; we’re here to offer solutions. When you can go through the day without thinking about your air, that’s when we know we’ve done our job.

Signs Your Home Deals With Poor Indoor Air Quality
Is your home healthy? It may not be as clean as you think. Pollution can be two to five times more concentrated indoors than outdoors, as reported by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Indoor air pollutants drifting in your home’s air could induce headaches and allergy flareups. Additionally, mold and mildew can cause a variety of health problems.
Health Problems
While these symptoms can be caused by other issues, they can be indicative your home has indoor air quality (IAQ) problems. This is especially true if you feel better while you’re away from home.
- Dry eyes, nose, throat, or skin
- Headaches and sinus irritation
- Fatigue
- Allergies or asthma symptoms that are more intense than usual
- Coughing and sneezing
- Dizziness or nausea
Environmental Problems
A well-worn heating and cooling system will sometimes be a contributing factor in indoor air quality problems, particularly if it’s struggling to filter air, control humidity, or keep temperatures consistent.
Here are a few other signs you might need to purify your indoor air:
- Too much static or mold growth
- Large amounts of dust
- Stuffy or musty odors
Our Indoor Air Quality Testing Process
What We Test For
Every home tells a different story, and we’re here to read it thoroughly. Our IAQ testing includes:
- Mold spores and hidden biological growth
- Volatile organic compounds (VOCs)
- Carbon monoxide and other combustion byproducts
- Humidity and moisture levels
- Particulate matter (dust, pollen, pet dander)
- Radon (when requested)
Each of these contaminants can have a big impact on your comfort and health. Our goal is to find them before they become a problem.
What to Expect After Your Indoor Air Quality Test
Once we’ve completed your indoor air quality testing, we’ll walk you through the results and outline a clear path forward. There’s no one-size-fits-all fix. Depending on your home’s needs, we may recommend specific air purification upgrades, humidity control solutions, or ventilation improvements.
You’ll get honest guidance based on what’s really in your air, not a sales pitch. And thanks to our flat-rate pricing, you’ll always know the cost upfront.
How Can I Stop Indoor Air Quality Problems?
Combating indoor air quality problems can be fairly easy with just 10 simple tips:
- Plan an indoor air quality audit with Willco Air Conditioning, Refrigeration & Heating Inc.. We’ll evaluate areas that affect air quality, like humidity, carbon monoxide and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Then we’ll go over whatever concerns we come across and how you can fix them.
- Clean regularly to reduce dust mites, which can worsen allergies and asthma.
- Keep your home free of secondhand smoke.
- Get a whole-home filtration system to get rid of odors, instead of masking them with air fresheners or scented candles. The contaminants include chemicals that can cause headaches or aggravate respiratory illness.
- Vent gas-burning appliances, including stoves and water heaters, to the outdoors.
- Keep your home’s humidity levels in check with a humidifier or dehumidifier, depending on your needs. Set humidity under 50% to hinder mold and mildew spores.
- Test your home for radon. Long-term exposure to this invisible radioactive gas is the number one cause of lung cancer for nonsmokers, according to the EPA. You can buy a radon test kit online or get in contact with your state radon program for info on discounted or free kits.
- Implement a ventilation system to exchange contaminated indoor air with fresh outside air.
- Look for natural cleaning and painting substances that are low in or free of VOCs. High levels of VOCs can irritate symptoms for family members with respiratory conditions.
- Place carbon monoxide detectors close to bedrooms.
