FAQs
Why is whole-home ventilation and air purification especially important in Newcomb’s climate?
Newcomb experiences humid summers and cool, often tightly-sealed winters. In both conditions, stale indoor air can trap moisture, allergens, and pollutants. Whole-home ventilation exchanges this stale air with fresh, conditioned air, reducing mold growth, dust mites, and chemical off-gassing. Coupled with air purification, it removes fine particles, pollen, and odors, creating a healthier living environment year-round.
What types of ventilation systems do you install and how do they differ?
We offer Energy Recovery Ventilators (ERVs), Heat Recovery Ventilators (HRVs), and balanced mechanical ventilation systems. ERVs transfer both heat and moisture between incoming and outgoing air streams, ideal for Newcomb’s humid summers. HRVs transfer only heat, making them well-suited for colder, drier conditions. Balanced systems use dedicated supply and exhaust fans to maintain neutral air pressure, often paired with high-efficiency filters for maximum air quality.
How can I tell if my indoor air quality needs improvement?
Common signs include persistent odors, visible dust buildup, condensation on windows, aggravated allergies, and frequent respiratory issues. We also provide on-site testing with particulate, VOC, and humidity sensors. These quick diagnostics reveal pollutant levels and help us recommend the right ventilation or filtration upgrade.
Will adding a whole-home air purifier or ventilator increase my energy bills?
Modern ERVs/HRVs and high-efficiency purifiers are designed to minimize energy use. An ERV can recover up to 70–80 % of the heat energy from outgoing air, and variable-speed fans draw less power than a standard bathroom exhaust fan. In many cases, improved air distribution allows your heating and cooling equipment to run more efficiently, offsetting most—sometimes all—of the added electrical cost.
How often should filters, ventilators, and ductwork be serviced?
• High-efficiency HVAC filters: inspect monthly and replace every 3 months (or sooner with pets/allergies). • ERV/HRV core and screens: clean every 6 months, replace core filters annually. • UV or electronic air cleaners: wipe cells and replace UV lamps every 1–2 years. • Ductwork: professional inspection and sealing check every 3–5 years, or sooner if you notice airflow changes or dust issues. Regular maintenance keeps airflow optimal and preserves manufacturer warranties.
Can these ventilation and air-quality products be integrated with my existing HVAC system?
Yes. We design solutions that tie into your current ductwork and thermostats. Most ERVs/HRVs mount near the air handler and use dedicated duct runs or direct connections to supply and return trunks. Smart controls can synchronize ventilation with heating and cooling cycles or run independently based on humidity and CO₂ sensors.
