It’s easy to assume the air in your home is clean, especially if everything looks tidy on the surface. But the truth is, most indoor air contains more than just oxygen. There’s dust floating around, invisible allergens settling in your ducts and even airborne bacteria and gases you can't smell. At Gillece Services, we help families across Pittsburgh take back control with dependable, whole-home air filtration systems designed to protect the air you breathe every single day.
We understand that health starts at home. If you’re dealing with constant sneezing, musty odors or just want cleaner air for your family, we’re ready to install an air filter system that fits your needs and your home. Call us today to get started with a professional air filtration installation!

Indoor Air Quality Isn’t Always What It Seems
Just because your air looks clear doesn’t mean it’s clean. In fact, many Pittsburgh homes struggle with air pollution that comes from everyday activities — cooking, cleaning, doing laundry — and environmental factors like smoke, gas and pollutants entering through small gaps and vents.
Indoor air pollution has three major risk categories:
- Allergens and particulates, such as dust, pollen and dander, can irritate the sinuses and trigger asthma and allergy symptoms.
- Infectious agents, like airborne bacteria and virus particles, can cause illness.
- Toxic compounds, including carbon monoxide, formaldehyde and pesticides, can cause symptoms ranging from headaches to long-term health effects.
98% of these airborne particles are smaller than one micron. That means standard filters don’t catch them, and you could be breathing them in every day. Our air filtration systems are designed to filter particles as small as 0.3 microns, which includes the most dangerous contaminants.
How Our Air Filtration Systems Work
Our air filtration services include a range of solutions. Some are smaller systems that work independently. Others are full HVAC-integrated setups that cover the entire house. They’re designed to capture pollutants as small as 0.3 microns without clogging up or creating airflow issues.
Most systems include a Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value (MERV) rating, which tells you how well the filter traps tiny particles. And if you're not sure which setup fits your home? We’ll walk you through it with zero pressure.
We offer a range of air filtration and air purification systems to keep your indoor air clean and healthy!

How We Install Air Filtration Systems the Right Way
A lot goes into setting up a filtration system that truly helps with indoor air quality. Here’s how we do it, step by step.
Assessment and Filter Recommendations
First, our air filtration company will inspect your duct system, heating and cooling equipment and any current filters. We listen to your concerns, whether it's allergy symptoms or odors that won't go away. Then we build a plan that might include HEPA filtration systems, activated carbon filters or high-rated MERV filters.
We also check for things like airflow limitations, filter access and Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value requirements. That way, your filter doesn't just fit — it performs.
Installation That Works Seamlessly
Next, we install the system directly into your air handler or furnace ductwork. We make sure the filter doesn't restrict airflow or overwork your system.
We also help you understand what you're getting. That includes showing how to replace filters, when to check for dust buildup and how to spot signs of poor performance.
Testing and Clean-Up
Once installed, we test for airflow and filter fit. We make sure your air conditioning, heating and ventilation systems run as expected. Our air filtration contractors also talk through service intervals and offer filter maintenance schedules based on your home’s specific environment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will air filtration systems help with odors from pets or cooking?
Yes. When installed properly, these systems help capture airborne particles that carry odor, including those from food, trash, pets and even chemical cleaners. Pairing them with UV lights can enhance this effect.
What is the minimum efficiency reporting value, and why does it matter?
This rating (MERV) tells you how well a filter traps particles. The higher the number, the more effective the filter is at catching smaller particles. For example, filters rated between MERV 8 and 13 are typically great for homes.
Do I need professional help to install a new air filter?
Some standard filter replacements are simple, but installing or upgrading a full air filtration system should be left to a professional. Incorrect installation can lead to airflow issues, system strain or missed pollutants. Our air filtration contractors are trained to handle this properly.
Can air filtration systems help with Pittsburgh’s seasonal pollen?
Yes. Spring and fall in Pittsburgh bring heavy pollen, and that can quickly build up inside homes through open windows and air circulation. A properly installed air filtration system traps pollen before it spreads through your rooms, offering relief from sneezing, itchy eyes and other seasonal allergy symptoms.

Do I need a new air filter if I just had air duct cleaning done?
Yes. Even after a thorough duct cleaning, old or clogged filters can still lower your system’s efficiency. It's a good idea to replace your filter after an air duct repair or cleaning, especially if your old one was exposed to years of debris and contamination.
