FAQs
Why is proper ventilation important for homes and businesses in Kingston’s climate?
Kingston experiences humid summers and cold winters, which means buildings are often sealed tight to conserve energy. Without adequate ventilation, moisture, allergens, and pollutants can accumulate, leading to mold growth, poor indoor air quality (IAQ), and uncomfortable living or working conditions. Proper ventilation systems exchange stale indoor air with fresh, filtered outdoor air, regulating humidity, reducing contaminants, and helping HVAC equipment run more efficiently year-round.
What advanced ventilation solutions do you offer for improving indoor air quality (IAQ)?
We install and service a range of high-performance systems, including energy-recovery ventilators (ERVs), heat-recovery ventilators (HRVs), whole-home air exchangers, and demand-controlled ventilation for commercial spaces. These systems provide continuous fresh air, capture heat or cooling energy from exhaust air, and balance humidity—significantly reducing energy costs while maintaining optimal IAQ.
How do ERVs and HRVs differ, and which is best for my property?
Both ERVs and HRVs supply fresh air and exhaust stale air while recovering energy from the outgoing air stream. HRVs transfer sensible heat only, making them excellent for colder climates with lower humidity. ERVs transfer both heat and moisture, helping stabilize indoor humidity levels—ideal for Kingston’s mixed climate where summer humidity can be high. A professional assessment of your building envelope, occupancy, and comfort goals will determine the best fit.
Can advanced ventilation systems really lower my energy bills?
Yes. By reclaiming 60–90 percent of the heat (or cooling) from exhausted air, HRVs and ERVs reduce the load on your furnace and air conditioner. In addition, modern ventilation controls allow you to run the system only when indoor CO₂ or humidity levels rise, avoiding unnecessary energy use. Many of our Kingston customers see payback periods of three to six years through reduced utility bills and extended HVAC equipment life.
What maintenance is required to keep my ventilation and air quality equipment performing optimally?
Regular maintenance includes cleaning or replacing filters every 3–6 months, inspecting and cleaning the core or wheel of an HRV/ERV annually, and ensuring that exterior intake and exhaust vents remain clear of debris and snow. We offer affordable maintenance plans in Kingston that include airflow balancing, motor checks, and IAQ testing to confirm your system is delivering fresh, clean air at peak efficiency.
Do you provide indoor air quality testing and consultations in Kingston?
Absolutely. Our IAQ specialists perform on-site assessments measuring particulates, VOCs, CO₂, humidity, and temperature. We use this data to recommend targeted solutions such as high-efficiency filtration, UV-C germicidal lights, or dedicated dehumidification. Every consultation includes a detailed report and a customized action plan to improve comfort, health, and energy performance.
