FAQs
What exactly is “smart filtration” and how does it improve my HVAC system?
Smart filtration combines high-efficiency air filters with embedded sensors and Wi-Fi–enabled monitors. The sensors track particulate matter, filter pressure drop, humidity and VOC levels in real time. When the system detects a drop in performance or a rise in contaminants, it alerts you through a mobile app or automatically signals the HVAC controller to boost fan speed or start an air-cleaning cycle. The outcome is cleaner indoor air, more consistent temperatures and extended equipment life because the system never runs with a clogged filter.
How often should I replace or clean the smart filters in Newcomb’s coastal climate?
For most homes in Newcomb, we recommend inspecting the smart filter every 90 days and replacing it every 6–9 months. Because coastal air can carry extra salt and moisture, the onboard sensors may advise an earlier change if they detect pressure drop or high particulate counts. The app will send you a push notification and even let you order the exact replacement filter size with one click, ensuring you never miss a service interval.
Can smart filtration really help with allergies, asthma and other respiratory issues?
Yes. Our MERV-13 and HEPA-grade smart filters capture 99.97 % of particles down to 0.3 microns, including pollen, pet dander, mould spores and fine dust. The system’s VOC and CO₂ sensors also trigger ventilation boosts when gas concentrations climb, reducing odours and chemical irritants. Many customers report noticeably easier breathing, fewer allergy flare-ups and better sleep within days of installation.
How does a smart ventilation system decide when to bring in fresh air?
The integrated controller constantly reads indoor CO₂, humidity and temperature. When CO₂ rises above 1,000 ppm, relative humidity exceeds 60 %, or indoor temperature drifts outside your comfort set-point, the unit modulates the energy-recovery ventilator (ERV) fan speed. In mild weather it may open motorized dampers to draw in free cooling from outside Newcomb’s evening breezes, while in extreme heat it uses the ERV core to pre-condition incoming air, maintaining comfort without large energy spikes.
Will adding smart filtration and ventilation reduce my energy bills?
In many cases, yes. Because the system monitors filter load, the blower never works against a clogged filter, cutting fan energy by up to 15 %. Demand-controlled ventilation prevents over-ventilating, so you avoid paying to heat or cool unnecessary outdoor air. The average Newcomb homeowner saves 8–12 % on annual HVAC costs, and commercial clients often see even higher savings when combined with building-automation scheduling.
Can I retrofit my existing HVAC setup, or do I need a full system replacement?
Most homes and small businesses in Newcomb can retrofit. We install a smart filter housing in the return plenum and add low-voltage wiring or wireless modules to your current thermostat or building-automation system. A wall-mounted ERV can share existing ductwork or run its own dedicated duct. The process takes one day in a typical home, requires no structural changes, and is fully reversible if you move. New equipment warranties remain intact because we follow manufacturer-approved integration guidelines.
