Air Purification Systems
Winters in Olympia and around the Puget Sound are damp. Anyone who has lived here knows the feeling. The chill settles in, the air feels heavy, and when the windows stay shut for a few weeks, the whole house can start to smell stale. Dust builds up faster. Allergies seem worse indoors than out.
Air purification systems are designed to help with that. They remove dust, pollen, dander, and the smaller particles you cannot see. The result is air that feels fresher, cleaner, and easier to breathe.
Families in Washington install these systems for comfort, but also for health. At Black Hills, we have been helping our neighbors improve indoor air for decades.
Indoor air quality is simply a measure of how healthy the air in your home is. You do not always notice when it drops, but the signs are there.
When air quality is good, the whole house feels different. Breathing is easier. Odors do not linger. Heating and cooling equipment does not work as hard because filters stay cleaner.
In Washington, climate plays a big role. Damp air encourages mold and mildew. Pollen fills the air in spring and summer, and it often finds its way inside. Pets bring in dander. Even daily routines like cooking and cleaning add particles to the air.
During the colder months, when windows stay closed, all of that stays trapped. Many older homes also have aging ducts or outdated ventilation that make the problem worse. Over time, the air feels heavy and less healthy, even if the house is spotless.
Air purifiers clean the air as it moves through your system. Filters capture dust, pollen, and dander. HEPA filters catch even smaller particles. Some units use activated carbon to reduce odors, while others use UV light to neutralize mold spores and bacteria.
Every time your furnace or heat pump runs, air passes through the purifier before it circulates through your rooms. The difference adds up. Families often notice fewer allergy flare-ups, fewer lingering odors, and an overall fresher feel throughout the house.
For many Washington households, yes. If the house feels stuffy in winter, if dust seems to return right after cleaning, or if allergies are worse indoors, purification can make a real difference. Clean air is easier to breathe and healthier for your family.
It also protects your heating and cooling system. Less dust and debris mean less buildup inside the equipment. That keeps it running smoothly and can help it last longer. In our damp climate, where pollen and mold are common, the benefits are hard to miss.
Air filters are the first line of defense against poor air quality. They trap particles before they circulate. When they clog, airflow slows, pollutants keep moving, and your system has to work harder.
Replacing filters regularly is one of the simplest ways to improve indoor air. In Washington, where dampness and pollen add extra strain, filters often need to be replaced more often than homeowners realize. Staying on top of this small task pays off in cleaner air and fewer HVAC problems.

Diamond Harris was the HVAC Design who came to my house to give me an estimate for a tankless water heater. I was so very impressed. His customer service, extensive knowledge, and professionalism certainly earn the grade of an A+. A true reflection on black hills Inc.'s hiring practice of hiring and retaining only the best employees. My estimate included not only the tankless water heater but the full installation. Diamond Harris is an asset to your company. Black hills inc was referred to me by my parents who had 3 major projects completed by black hills Inc., and loved working with them. With employees like Diamond, I now see why. Such a positive experience. Thank you. Please give my sincere thank-you to Diamond
We spoke to 3 different companies to get an estimate for a new system. Black Hills was the only company that did exactly what they said they would do from the start. I appreciate the text/photo letting me know who would be arriving and he came right on time. Travis was very polite and professional and answered all of our questions. The installation crew was also very quick and professional and cleaned up afterward. Follow-ups to make sure we were happy with service also appreciated. Awesome customer service
Great service, No BS. Our AC was not keeping up, had a feeling it was because of a leaking coil on the inner unit. Was confirmed by Black Hills Inc. and was set-up with an appointment with a comfort specialist. After the survey with the specialist (Bento Yanez), we sat down and discussed options for replacement, turning out that full replacement with a heat pump/ac/new furnace would be the most efficient cost-effective option. Black Hills was able to access all the previous history on our unit since prior homeowners had used them, they could pull up everything that had previous work done. Looking forward to the replacement unit being installed in only 4 days, after the survey.
