Jupiter's mix of older homes with original air handlers and newer builds with under-spec filtration leaves a lot of indoor air quality on the table. First Aid Air Conditioning installs REME HALO whole-home purification systems, UV light treatments, MERV 13 and higher filtration upgrades, and humidity controls integrated with your existing AC across Jupiter. Family-owned, Florida-licensed.
Two reasons. First, Jupiter's coastal location means higher year-round humidity, which carries airborne irritants farther and creates conditions for mold growth indoors. Second, many Jupiter homes (especially in the older Jupiter neighborhoods and along the Indiantown Road corridor) have original air handlers with basic MERV 6 filtration that hasn't been upgraded in decades. The combination produces indoor air that is meaningfully harder on allergies, asthma, and respiratory conditions than it needs to be.
The REME HALO mounts inside the air handler and treats the air in every room the AC reaches. It uses RGF's REME Cell technology to create low-level airborne hydrogen peroxide that actively reduces airborne and surface bacteria, viruses, mold spores, pollutants, and odors. The hydrogen peroxide is non-toxic at the levels produced. For families with allergy sufferers, asthmatics, or kids who get sick more often than they should, it's usually the highest-impact single upgrade.
REME HALO whole-home purification inside the air handler. Filter upgrade from basic to MERV 13 (after verifying the air handler can handle the higher static pressure). Humidity control adjustment on the thermostat so the system actually dehumidifies to a target (around 50 percent indoor relative humidity), not just to a temperature. UV light installation in the air handler if appropriate for the system. Return air sealing if small duct leaks are pulling in humid attic air.
Abacoa, Jupiter Farms, the Indiantown Road corridor, the riverfront communities along the Loxahatchee, Jupiter Inlet Colony, Jupiter Island, and the coastal homes east of A1A. We treat coastal homes a little differently because the humidity load is higher and the indoor air typically needs more aggressive moisture control.
For homes near A1A, on Jupiter Island, in Jupiter Inlet Colony, or along the Intracoastal, indoor humidity tends to run higher than inland. We often pair the REME HALO with a whole-home dehumidifier on coastal Jupiter homes to handle the moisture load independent of the AC cooling cycle. The combination is much more effective than either alone.
REME HALO install: $1,000 to $1,500. Filter upgrade: $100 to $200. UV light: $300 to $600. Whole-home dehumidifier (for homes that need it): typically $2,000 to $3,500 installed. Most IAQ packages run $1,200 to $2,500 for the standard three-part fix.
For most families, symptoms improve noticeably within seven to ten days. Lingering smells fade within a couple weeks. Visible mold spots stop reappearing once the underlying humidity is actually controlled. The system continues to work as long as the REME HALO cell is in good condition (replaced roughly every two to four years depending on use).
Call 772-418-9787 to schedule an indoor air quality assessment in your Jupiter home. We measure indoor humidity, inspect the air handler, evaluate filter condition, and recommend the right combination of upgrades for your situation.
