FAQs
What indoor air-quality and ventilation services do you offer in Deer Lodge?
Our certified HVAC pros handle the full spectrum of IAQ (indoor air quality) solutions: mechanical and energy-recovery ventilators, balanced fresh-air systems for tightly sealed homes, whole-house and portable air purifiers, high-MERV and HEPA filtration upgrades, UV-C germicidal lights, humidifiers/de-humidifiers, duct inspection and cleaning, and ongoing maintenance plans. Every service is tailored to local building codes and Deer Lodge’s high-altitude climate.
How can better ventilation help during Deer Lodge’s long heating season?
Winters here are cold and homes stay closed up for months, causing stale air, excess humidity, and pollutant build-up. A properly sized heat-recovery (HRV) or energy-recovery ventilator (ERV) exhausts moist, contaminated indoor air while pre-warming the incoming fresh air with outgoing heat, so you don’t lose efficiency. The result is lower CO₂ levels, reduced condensation on windows, fewer odors, and healthier lungs without driving up your heating bill.
Are whole-house air purifiers really worth the investment?
For many Deer Lodge homeowners, yes. Central purification units are installed in the supply plenum of your HVAC system and treat every cubic foot of air that circulates. Media filters capture dust and pollen, activated carbon adsorbs wildfire smoke and VOCs, and optional UV-C lamps neutralize mold spores and viruses. Because they work silently in the background and require only annual service, they provide broader protection and lower long-term cost per square foot than multiple portable units.
How often should I change my furnace or A/C filter to maintain good air quality?
In an average Deer Lodge household without pets or smokers, we recommend replacing 1-inch pleated filters every 60–90 days. If you have pets, allergies, or run the system continuously, check monthly and replace at 30–45 days. High-MERV or HEPA media cartridges may last 6–12 months but need quarterly inspections for clogging. Clean filters keep airflow strong, energy use low, and pollutant levels down.
Do you provide duct cleaning, and how does it improve ventilation efficiency?
Yes. Our NADCA-certified crew uses negative-pressure vacuums and rotary brush tools to remove accumulated dust, dander, and construction debris from supply and return ducts. Clean ducts reduce airflow resistance by up to 20 %, allow your blower motor to run at lower amperage, and prevent re-circulation of contaminants that settle in registers and rooms. We also sanitize with EPA-approved agents when mold is present and seal minor air leaks to stop draft losses.
What certifications do your technicians hold, and why do they matter?
All field techs are EPA Section 608 certified for safe refrigerant handling, NATE-certified in Air Distribution and IAQ, and factory-trained by major equipment brands. Several staff members have additional BPI (Building Performance Institute) credentials for whole-house ventilation design. These certifications verify that we size equipment correctly, follow ASHRAE 62.2 ventilation standards, and install or service your system without voiding manufacturer warranties—giving you efficient, code-compliant, and healthy indoor air.
