FAQs
Why is proper ventilation important for my home or business in Bean Station?
East Tennessee’s warm, humid summers and relatively mild winters mean our buildings are closed up for long periods, trapping moisture, allergens, and pollutants. A balanced mechanical ventilation system continuously exchanges stale indoor air with fresh, filtered outdoor air, preventing mold growth, reducing odors, diluting airborne contaminants, and protecting the structure from excess moisture.
What ventilation and indoor-air-quality solutions do you install and service?
We design, install, and maintain a full range of systems, including whole-house supply and exhaust fans, balanced HRV (heat-recovery ventilator) and ERV (energy-recovery ventilator) units, high-MERV or HEPA filtration add-ons, UV germicidal lights, humidity control accessories, and dedicated make-up air systems for commercial kitchens, shops, and salons.
How does an HRV or ERV work, and which is better for our Bean Station climate?
Both HRVs and ERVs use a heat-exchange core to transfer heat between outgoing and incoming air, recovering up to 80% of the energy normally lost through ventilation. An HRV transfers only sensible heat, while an ERV also transfers moisture. In the humid summers typical of Bean Station, an ERV generally makes more sense because it helps keep incoming air drier, reducing the load on your air conditioner. In colder months, both systems pre-warm the incoming airstream to maintain comfort and save energy.
How often should I replace or clean the air filters in my HVAC ventilation system?
Standard 1-inch disposable filters should be replaced every 30–60 days, while 4- to 5-inch media filters can last 6–12 months. HEPA canisters and electronic air cleaners typically need service every 6–12 months as well. Homes with pets, smokers, or allergy sufferers may require more frequent changes. We include filter checks in our seasonal maintenance plans to ensure optimal airflow and efficiency.
Will upgrading to a high-efficiency ventilation system lower my energy bills?
Yes. Modern HRV/ERV units consume as little as 40–60 watts—about the same as a light bulb—while recovering up to 80% of the heating or cooling energy that would otherwise be exhausted. When paired with variable-speed HVAC equipment and smart controls, customers in Bean Station commonly see 10–20% reductions in overall heating and cooling costs, along with noticeably better comfort and air quality.
Do you offer ongoing maintenance and emergency repair services in Bean Station?
Absolutely. We provide flexible maintenance agreements that include bi-annual inspections, filter replacements, coil cleaning, airflow testing, and calibration of ventilation controls. Our technicians are on call 24/7 for emergency repairs, stocked with common parts for most major brands to get your system back online quickly.
