Will this help with dust from the arena?
Yes. Fine filtration on the main systems and the filtered fresh-air supply both reduce dust indoors. Keeping windows closed on windy days while the ventilator supplies clean air makes a noticeable difference.

Indoor Air Quality in Hidden Hills.
Life in Hidden Hills includes open land, horses and long dry seasons. That brings dust from arenas and trails, pollen from grasses and oaks, and in fire season, the chance of smoke carried by Santa Ana winds. We design air quality systems that keep the residence fresh and clean every day and protect it when outdoor air turns.

Indoor Air Quality · Hidden Hills
Fresh Air With a Sealed Shutoff
An energy recovery ventilator brings in a steady supply of filtered outdoor air and exhausts stale air, keeping large homes fresh with doors and windows closed. It retains much of the home's comfort along the way, so fresh air does not come at the cost of heating or cooling.
On poor outdoor air days, such as smoke or heavy dust, the fresh-air intake can be shut off or set to recirculate, and the system keeps cleaning the indoor air. Automatic smoke response is something we design only for homes with compatible integrated controls, and we discuss it during the walkthrough.

Filtration for Dust, Pollen and Smoke
Fine filtration in the MERV 15 to 16 range captures the smallest particles in smoke as well as the dust and pollen common on equestrian properties. An activated carbon stage reduces odors and many gases, including the smell of smoke and of nearby stables.
Ultraviolet light in each air handler keeps coils and drain pans clean. Filter cabinets are sized so the system keeps its airflow and its quiet operation, with an easy filter change schedule built into maintenance.

Optional Monitoring
If you want to see what's in your air, we can add indoor air quality monitoring that tracks fine particles, VOCs, and humidity, and ties into your filtration and fresh-air system. On equestrian properties, some households add it to understand how the home responds to wind, dust and smoke; the system protects the home with or without it.
Every plan is fitted to the existing equipment and structures on the property. White Glove members have filters, UV lamps and dampers serviced on schedule, with a full check after any smoke event.
Questions
Indoor Air Quality Questions in Hidden Hills
Can the guest house be protected as well?
Yes. Each structure can have its own filtration and, where suitable, its own fresh-air supply that can be shut off on smoke days. We review every building on the property during design.
What do I do when poor outdoor air, like wildfire smoke, arrives?
Shut off the fresh-air intake or set it to recirculate from your wall control, and the system continues to filter indoor air until conditions improve. Automatic smoke response is something we design only for homes with compatible integrated controls, and we discuss it during the walkthrough.
How often are filters changed?
It depends on the property. Equestrian properties often need more frequent changes. We set a schedule after the first season and adjust it based on what we see.
