Indoor Air Quality
& Ventilation
New York City
Fresh air systems, air purification, humidity control, and code-compliant ventilation — engineered for NYC's tightest buildings. Because the air you breathe indoors matters more than you think.

HEPA & UV-C Purification
The air inside your building is making people sick
EPA studies show indoor air can be 2-5x more polluted than outdoor air. In sealed NYC buildings with poor ventilation, allergens, VOCs, mold spores, and CO2 build up to levels that cause headaches, fatigue, and respiratory problems.
Stuffy, stale air
Headaches by 2 PM, drowsy employees, brain fog — CO2 levels above 1,000 ppm impair cognitive performance by up to 50%. Your sealed building is suffocating its occupants
Odors and cooking smells
Restaurant kitchens, nail salons, gyms — without proper exhaust and makeup air, smells migrate to neighboring spaces and trigger tenant complaints
Humidity and mold problems
Too much moisture breeds mold in walls and ducts. Too little dries out sinuses and cracks wood. NYC buildings swing between both extremes without proper humidity control
Failed DOH or fire inspections
Restaurants, medical offices, and commercial kitchens must meet strict ventilation codes. Failing inspection means fines, shutdowns, and scrambling for emergency fixes
Our employees were getting sick constantly. After Art HVAC installed an ERV and air purification system, sick days dropped 60% in the first quarter. The air literally feels different.
IAQ SOLUTIONS
Cleaner Air for Every Environment
From a simple air purifier upgrade to a full building ventilation redesign — we engineer indoor air quality solutions that meet code, improve health, and reduce energy waste.
Ventilation & Fresh Air Systems
ERV, HRV & Makeup Air Units
Energy Recovery Ventilators (ERV) and Heat Recovery Ventilators (HRV) bring fresh outdoor air into your building while recovering up to 80% of the energy from exhaust air. We also design and install makeup air systems for commercial kitchens and exhaust-heavy spaces.
Air Purification Systems
HEPA, UV-C & Bipolar Ionization
Hospital-grade air purification integrated into your existing HVAC system. HEPA filtration captures 99.97% of particles, UV-C germicidal lamps neutralize viruses and bacteria, and bipolar ionization actively cleans the air in real time.
Humidity Control
Humidifiers, Dehumidifiers & Monitoring
Maintain optimal 40-60% relative humidity year-round. We install whole-building humidifiers for dry winters, commercial dehumidifiers for damp basements and pool areas, and smart monitoring systems that track conditions in real time.

Why NYC Breathes Better with ART HVAC
Real IAQ projects. Measurable improvements. Healthier spaces.
HOW IT WORKS
From Assessment to Clean Air
Every IAQ project starts with measuring what is actually in your air — then engineering a targeted solution.
IAQ Assessment
We measure CO2, humidity, particulate levels, and airflow patterns throughout your space. You get a clear picture of what is wrong and why — backed by data, not guesses.
Custom Solution Design
Based on your data, building type, and budget, we design a targeted IAQ solution — ventilation, purification, humidity control, or a combination. You approve the plan and pricing before we start.
Professional Installation
Our licensed crew installs the equipment, integrates it with your existing HVAC system, and handles all permits and inspections. Minimal disruption to your daily operations.
Verify & Monitor
After installation, we re-test air quality to confirm measurable improvement. Optional smart monitoring systems give you real-time visibility into CO2, humidity, and particle levels.
FAQ
Questions We Hear Every Day
Practical answers about indoor air quality and ventilation.
Common signs include persistent stuffiness, headaches that go away when you leave the building, visible mold, condensation on windows, lingering odors, and employees frequently getting sick. We offer professional IAQ assessments that measure CO2, humidity, particulates, and airflow — giving you hard data instead of guesswork.
An Energy Recovery Ventilator brings fresh outdoor air into your building while exhausting stale air — and recovers up to 80% of the energy in the process. If your building is tightly sealed (most modern NYC buildings are), you almost certainly need mechanical ventilation. An ERV gives you fresh air without skyrocketing your energy bill.
Yes — but only if it is properly sized and integrated with your HVAC system. A standalone portable unit cleans one room. A whole-building HEPA and UV-C system integrated into your ductwork cleans every cubic foot of air every time it circulates. We design systems that match your building volume and air change rate for measurable results.
Yes — NYC Department of Health requires that any commercial kitchen with an exhaust hood must have a makeup air system to replace the air being exhausted. Without it, you create negative pressure that pulls in unconditioned air from doors, cracks, and even sewer vents. We design and install compliant makeup air systems as part of every kitchen ventilation project.
It varies widely based on scope. A UV-C germicidal lamp added to an existing system starts around $800-1,500. An ERV installation for a residential unit runs $3,000-6,000. A full commercial ventilation and purification system can range from $10,000-50,000+ depending on building size. We always provide detailed, line-item quotes with no hidden fees.
