FAQs
Why is proper ventilation critical for homes and businesses in Clairfield?
Clairfield’s warm, humid summers and tightly sealed modern buildings can trap heat, moisture, and airborne contaminants indoors. Adequate ventilation removes excess humidity, dilutes pollutants such as VOCs and allergens, and ensures a steady supply of fresh outdoor air. This helps prevent mold growth, reduces musty odors, and supports healthier respiratory conditions for occupants.
What types of ventilation solutions do you offer?
We design and install a full range of systems, including energy-recovery ventilators (ERVs), heat-recovery ventilators (HRVs), whole-house exhaust systems, supply-only fresh-air intakes, and balanced ventilation setups integrated with existing HVAC equipment. Each option is sized and configured to match your building’s square footage, occupancy, and local code requirements.
How does a ventilation system improve indoor air quality (IAQ)?
Ventilation systems continuously exchange stale indoor air with filtered outdoor air, which lowers concentrations of carbon dioxide, odors, volatile organic compounds, and airborne particles. Many of our units feature MERV-rated filters or HEPA bypass modules that capture pollen, dust, and smoke, while ERVs and HRVs also manage moisture to keep relative humidity between 40–60 %, an ideal range for comfort and mold prevention.
Will installing a dedicated ventilator increase my energy bills?
Modern ERVs and HRVs recover up to 80 % of the heat (or cooling) from outgoing air, dramatically reducing the energy penalty of bringing in fresh air. In many homes, the added operating cost is just a few dollars per month, and improved humidity control can even lower cooling loads in the summer. We perform a detailed load calculation to predict actual cost impacts before you commit.
How often should filters and cores be serviced or replaced?
Standard MERV-8 or MERV-11 filters typically need replacement every 3–4 months, while higher-efficiency or HEPA filters may last 6–12 months depending on usage and local air quality. The heat-exchange core in an HRV/ERV should be inspected annually and cleaned with mild soap and water. During our annual maintenance visit, we also verify airflow balance, check dampers, and ensure condensate drains are clear.
Do your ventilation installations comply with Clairfield and Tennessee building codes?
Yes. We follow the latest International Residential Code (IRC) and International Mechanical Code (IMC) as adopted by Tennessee, including ASHRAE 62.2 ventilation standards for residences. We secure all necessary permits, schedule local inspections, and provide documentation that your system meets or exceeds airflow, efficiency, and safety requirements for Clairfield’s jurisdiction.
