Air filter replacement service & pricing
A filter must fit the system and allow the airflow it needs. We help you understand filter size, access, and replacement care as part of a whole-home comfort approach.

Indoor Air Quality, Filtration & Duct Services
Start with the concern in your property. Explore individual services, see how we approach the work, and arrange a visit.
Name the problem before choosing a product
“Air quality” can mean visible dust, particles, odors, high humidity, recurring moisture, filter loading or a concern inside the duct system. Those are not interchangeable problems. Begin with where and when the condition appears, what changed, and any relevant water, renovation, smoke, pet or equipment history. A product should be matched to a defined purpose rather than presented as a cure for every concern.
Filters primarily address particles while the HVAC fan is moving air. EPA recommends MERV 13, or the highest efficiency the system fan and filter slot can accommodate, when upgrading filtration. Size, depth, fit, replacement access and airflow matter. A higher number is not useful if the filter does not fit or creates an operating problem.
Current installed air-cleaning options
The current S&S pricebook lists Plasma Pure 24V Ionizer at $410, a coil-mounted UV Germicidal Light Install at $490, I-Wave R at $800, Dust Free Active at $825 and REME HALO at $900. These are installed labor-and-material reference prices verified September 18, 2026; compatibility, availability and the written proposal control. S&S will identify the exact model and explain its manufacturer-stated purpose before approval.
These accessories do not replace source control, ventilation, filtration, moisture correction or equipment maintenance. S&S does not promise that an accessory diagnoses, treats or prevents illness. Replacement lamps, filters or other recurring materials are separate unless the proposal expressly includes them; follow the selected manufacturer’s maintenance instructions.
Keep moisture, ducts and accessories in the right scope
Persistent humidity deserves a review of moisture sources, drainage, runtime, infiltration, ventilation and equipment operation. EPA consumer guidance recommends keeping indoor relative humidity below 60%, ideally about 30%–50% when practical. Those ranges are general moisture-control guidance, not a promise that an accessory will hold one number in every property.
Duct cleaning, duct repair and air-distribution redesign are different scopes. A disconnected run, wet insulation or damaged duct cannot be restored by cleaning alone. Ask what was observed, which material and area are involved, how access will be handled and what outcome the proposed work is intended to support.
Bring observations that support a useful assessment
Write down the rooms involved, time of day, thermostat conditions, visible moisture or dust pattern, filter size and how quickly the condition returns after cleaning or replacement. Photographs from a safe occupied area can help preserve an intermittent condition. Do not enter an attic, open equipment, disturb suspected biological material or place tools in a duct to prepare for the visit.
A useful proposal should separate diagnosis, cleaning, repair, redesign and accessory installation. It should state what is included, what remains outside the scope, how the selected item will be maintained and which result it is intended to support. If the concern may come from water intrusion, construction materials or another non-HVAC source, the HVAC work should not be represented as resolving that separate cause.
Review ongoing cost as well as the purchase. Filters, lamps and other replaceable materials have intervals and access needs. Ask who supplies them, how compatibility will be confirmed and what happens if airflow or moisture concerns continue. Save the exact model and maintenance instructions with the service record so later decisions are based on the installed item, not a generic product category.
Understand the visit price before a product decision
If the concern requires repair diagnosis, the standard diagnostic is $160 for up to one hour onsite, with no additional travel fee anywhere S&S serves. Product, installation, filter and maintenance prices are separate and should appear in the written proposal before work proceeds.
Whole-home air cleaner installation & pricing
Start with the concern you want to address, then evaluate the equipment. Filtration, ventilation, moisture control, and add-on devices play different roles in indoor air quality.
HVAC UV light installation & pricing
A UV device needs a defined purpose, suitable placement, and ongoing maintenance. We help you evaluate compatibility with your HVAC system and understand the manufacturer’s operating requirements.
Air duct inspection, cleaning & pricing
Before buying duct cleaning, understand the condition of the ducts and the problem you are trying to solve. An inspection can help distinguish dust at a grille from an issue inside the air-distribution system.
Built for Gulf Coast conditions
Southwest Louisiana systems work through long cooling seasons, high humidity, salt-influenced air, storms and heavy rainfall. The recommendation should consider drainage, corrosion exposure, airflow and recovery after outages—not equipment capacity alone.

Equipment and registration
S&S is a Carrier - Tempstar Elite Dealer and an approved Trane Dealer. Ask which brand and model fit the project. Manufacturer registration controls eligibility for extended parts coverage. S&S submits registration where possible; the customer should retain and check the manufacturer confirmation. The manufacturer’s written eligibility and warranty terms control.
Parts coverage and workmanship coverage
Manufacturer parts coverage and S&S workmanship coverage are separate. A manufacturer parts warranty covers the part only; diagnostic labor, refrigerant, freight and miscellaneous materials are billable unless covered under the S&S labor warranty. Standard S&S coverage is one year on installation workmanship and 90 days on repairs, unless a longer period is stated in writing on the estimate or purchased as an extended labor plan. Covered workmanship corrections include labor during normal business hours. Maintenance requirements, exclusions and other written conditions apply.
