BioFresh Ductwork Fogging

A preventive treatment for your ductwork — fogged, not brushed

BioFresh is an EPA-registered bacteriostat and fungistat that we fog throughout your duct system. Rather than running brushes or abrasive tools through your ducts, we apply BioFresh as a fine fog that settles across the interior surfaces and leaves a protective antimicrobial coating behind. It is a clean, low-disruption way to treat the inside of your air system.

This is not traditional duct cleaning. Big Air does not do abrasive duct cleaning — no brushes, no rotary tools. BioFresh fogging is a different, gentler approach focused on a preventive antimicrobial treatment.

Important — please read

Big Air does not perform mold testing or remediation and is not a licensed mold assessor or remediator. BioFresh is a preventive antimicrobial treatment, not mold remediation.

Poor Indoor Air Quality and Energy Efficiency — The #1 Problem in Fort Myers

The importance of indoor air quality (IAQ) services in Fort Myers cannot be overstated. Indoor pollution sources like pets, pet dander, mold spores, viruses, pollen, and allergens present in your indoor environment can lead to respiratory irritation. Many residential homeowners breathe contaminated air without realizing the health impact — from furniture off-gassing to cleaning chemicals to the wood and materials in your home. Uncontrolled outdoor air entering through cracks, attic gaps, and crawlspaces compounds the problem, making your AC work harder, causing musty odors, and adding to the humidity that lets mold and mildew take hold.

Your AC system is designed to cool air, not dehumidify it. While it does remove some moisture, Fort Myers humidity levels often exceed what a standard AC system can handle alone. The result: your home feels cold but still clammy, your windows fog up, and consistent temperatures become hard to hold. That damp, year-round environment is where musty odors and microbial growth get started. That's why IAQ services and air quality solutions are so valuable for Southwest Florida homes.

The solution is controlling how air enters your home and managing the moisture it carries. Fresh air intakes, ventilating dehumidifiers, UV treatment of the air system, and proper sizing all work together to give you balanced humidity and a healthier indoor environment. Big Air assesses your specific home to determine the right combination of indoor air quality solutions — with a commitment to your comfort and a straight, honest recommendation.

Indoor Air Quality Services and Solutions We Offer

Whole-Home Dehumidifiers

Integrates with your existing HVAC system to remove excess moisture from all circulating air. The most effective single solution for Fort Myers humidity. Controls moisture levels independently from temperature, so your home feels comfortable without overcooling.

UV Germicidal Light Systems (Dual Bulb)

High-output UV-C bulbs installed in your air handler help reduce mold and bacteria on the evaporator coil and drain pan — the two areas where they grow fastest in Florida's humid climate. Helps keep these components cleaner, which supports efficiency and coil life. Bulbs need replacement every two years.

BioFresh Ductwork Fogging

An EPA-registered bacteriostat and fungistat fogged throughout your duct system at $745 per system, flat. A preventive antimicrobial treatment — fogged, not brushed. This is not traditional or abrasive duct cleaning, and it is not mold remediation.

Advanced Filtration Upgrades

Upgrading from a basic 1-inch filter to a properly rated media filter or electronic air cleaner. We recommend the right MERV rating for your system — too high restricts airflow, too low doesn't filter. Balance matters.

REME HALO Air Purification

An advanced whole-home air purification system that sends ionized oxidizers into every room through your ductwork. Designed to help reduce airborne particles, odors, and contaminants throughout the home — not just at the filter.

Fresh Air Intake Systems

Controls how outdoor air enters your home by pulling it through a filtered, dehumidified path instead of letting it seep through cracks and attic gaps. Particularly effective in tight, modern Fort Myers homes that need fresh air without the humidity.

Multi-Stage / Inverter Systems

Variable-speed and multi-stage AC systems run longer at lower output, pulling significantly more moisture from the air than standard on/off systems. If your current system cools fast but leaves your home humid, this may be the answer.

Indoor Air Quality Services Fort Myers — FAQ

Why is my Fort Myers home so humid even with the AC running?

In Fort Myers, outdoor humidity often exceeds 80%. If your AC system is oversized, short-cycling, or has a refrigerant issue, it cools the air too quickly without removing enough moisture. The result is a cold but clammy home. Solutions include a whole-home dehumidifier, system adjustments, or upgrading to a variable-speed system that runs longer at lower speeds to pull more moisture.

What is a whole-home dehumidifier and do I need one in Fort Myers?

A whole-home dehumidifier integrates with your existing HVAC system to remove excess moisture from all the air circulating through your home. In Fort Myers, where humidity is a year-round challenge, a dehumidifier helps keep moisture in check, reduces musty odors, and takes away that uncomfortable sticky feeling even when the AC is running. It's one of the most impactful upgrades for Florida homes.

What do UV light systems do in an AC unit?

UV light systems installed in your air handler use ultraviolet-C light to inhibit the growth of mold, bacteria, and other biological contaminants on the evaporator coil and drain pan. In Florida's humid climate, these areas are breeding grounds for microbial growth. UV systems help keep these components cleaner, which supports air quality and system efficiency.

What is BioFresh ductwork fogging and how much does it cost?

BioFresh is an EPA-registered bacteriostat and fungistat that we fog throughout your duct system to leave a protective antimicrobial coating on the interior surfaces. It is $745 per system, a flat rate. It is not traditional duct cleaning — there are no brushes or abrasive tools, and Big Air does not perform abrasive duct cleaning. Please note: Big Air does not perform mold testing or remediation and is not a licensed mold assessor or remediator. BioFresh is a preventive antimicrobial treatment, not mold remediation.

How much does a whole-home dehumidifier cost in Fort Myers?

Whole-home dehumidifier installation in Fort Myers typically ranges from $3,500 to $5,000 including the unit and professional installation. The cost depends on the capacity needed, which is based on your home's square footage and humidity levels. Big Air provides free consultations to recommend the right solution for your specific situation — with no pressure and no unnecessary equipment.

Can better air filters improve my indoor air quality?

Yes, but filter selection matters. A filter with too high a MERV rating can restrict airflow and damage your system. Too low and it doesn't filter effectively. Big Air recommends the right filter rating for your specific system and home, balancing filtration with proper airflow.
