FAQs
Why is indoor air quality (IAQ) such a concern for homeowners in Apison?
Apison’s warm, humid summers and pollen-heavy spring and fall seasons create a perfect environment for mold spores, dust mites, and allergens to thrive inside a home. Because most houses are now tightly sealed for energy efficiency, these pollutants become trapped indoors and can lead to respiratory irritation, aggravated allergies, and higher HVAC operating costs. Installing IAQ solutions such as whole-house air purifiers, dehumidifiers, and advanced filtration helps remove contaminants, balance humidity, and keep your heating and air-conditioning system running efficiently year-round.
What types of indoor air-quality products do you install, and how does each one work?
1. High-Efficiency Air Cleaners (HEPA/MERV 16+): Capture up to 99.97% of particulate matter—including pollen, pet dander, and smoke—before it circulates through your ducts. 2. UV-C Germicidal Lights: Mount inside the air handler or supply plenum to neutralize mold, bacteria, and viruses as air passes over the coil. 3. Whole-Home Dehumidifiers: Tie into existing ductwork to keep indoor relative humidity in the ideal 40–50% range, preventing musty odors and mold growth. 4. Energy-Recovery Ventilators (ERVs): Exchange stale indoor air with fresh outdoor air while reclaiming up to 80% of the heating or cooling energy. 5. Electronic Air Scrubbers/Ionizers: Release ionized particles that cause airborne contaminants to clump together, making them easier to capture in the filter. All of these products integrate with your current HVAC setup and are sized specifically for your home’s square footage and airflow requirements.
Will adding IAQ equipment raise my monthly energy bills?
Most modern IAQ devices are designed to have a minimal impact on utility costs—and many actually lower them. For example, a properly sized dehumidifier allows you to set the thermostat a few degrees higher in summer while still feeling comfortable, reducing A/C runtime. HEPA filters and ERVs maintain cleaner coils and ductwork, improving airflow and decreasing the workload on your HVAC system. UV lights consume roughly the same energy as a 40-watt bulb. In many cases, the savings from improved HVAC performance offset the small electrical draw of the IAQ equipment.
How can I tell which solution—air purifier, dehumidifier, or duct cleaning—is right for my home?
Start with a professional IAQ assessment. Our technicians use particle counters, hygrometers, and thermal imaging to measure airborne contaminants, humidity, and duct conditions. • If particle counts or allergy symptoms are high, we recommend a whole-house air cleaner or electronic air scrubber. • If relative humidity consistently exceeds 55%, a dehumidifier will curb mold and dust mite growth. • Visible debris, musty odors, or poor airflow often indicate the need for duct cleaning and sealing. Based on test results, we create a customized plan that may combine multiple solutions for optimal results.
What maintenance do these IAQ products require, and can I do it myself?
Most IAQ equipment has straightforward, homeowner-friendly maintenance: • Replace or wash HEPA/MERV filters every 3–12 months. • Wipe UV lamp surfaces and replace the bulb every 1–2 years. • Clean ERV cores and pre-filters each season. • Empty or check the condensate line on a dehumidifier monthly. We provide a maintenance schedule at installation and offer affordable service plans that include filter delivery, lamp replacement, and annual performance testing, ensuring your system continues to operate at peak efficiency.
Are your indoor air-quality solutions compatible with my existing heating and air-conditioning system, and what does installation involve?
Yes. Nearly all IAQ products are designed to integrate with standard split systems, heat pumps, furnaces, and even mini-splits. Installation typically involves: • Inspecting ductwork to ensure adequate static pressure for added filtration. • Mounting equipment—such as a media cabinet, UV light, or dehumidifier—into the supply or return plenum with minimal sheet-metal modifications. • Wiring controls to your thermostat or a dedicated IAQ controller. • Commissioning the system with airflow and humidity tests. Most installations are completed in a single day, come with manufacturer warranties (usually 5–10 years), and include a walk-through so you understand operation and maintenance.
