Wildfire Smoke Season
Summer smoke has become a regular part of life in the Puget Sound area. A higher-rated filter, a media filter cabinet or a dedicated air cleaner can cut smoke indoors, as long as the system can handle the airflow. A technician can check what your blower supports.

Ductwork & Air Quality Questions
How do I know if my ducts leak?
Uneven temperatures, dust and high bills are common signs. An inspection of the crawl space or attic ducts usually confirms it.
What filter should I use during smoke season?
Many homes can use a MERV 13 filter, but only if the system can handle the airflow. A technician can check before you upgrade.
Do I need a permit for duct work?
Not for ductwork replacement alone in unincorporated King County, though related gas or electrical work may need one. Cities set their own rules.
