FAQs
Why is advanced air filtration important for homes and businesses in Delano?
Delano’s Central Valley location means we experience high pollen counts, agricultural dust, and wildfire smoke during certain seasons. Advanced air filtration systems capture microscopic particulates (down to 0.3 microns or smaller) that standard filters miss, reducing allergy symptoms, protecting HVAC components from dust buildup, and improving overall indoor air quality (IAQ).
What types of filtration systems do you recommend for optimal indoor air quality?
We typically recommend a layered approach: (1) a high-MERV pleated media filter for whole-home particulate removal, (2) an activated carbon stage to adsorb odors and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and (3) optional UV-C or photocatalytic oxidation (PCO) lights to neutralize biological contaminants like mold spores and bacteria. The exact configuration depends on your building size, existing ductwork, and specific air quality concerns.
How often should I replace or clean my HVAC filters in Delano’s climate?
With Delano’s dusty environment and peak cooling seasons, 1-inch disposable filters usually need replacement every 30–45 days. High-capacity 4–5-inch media filters can last 4–6 months. If you have pets, live near fields, or run the system continuously in summer, inspect filters monthly. Smart filter monitors can alert you when airflow drops, ensuring you never miss a change cycle.
Will advanced filtration increase my energy bills?
High-efficiency filters add some resistance to airflow, but when properly selected and professionally installed, the impact on energy use is minimal. In fact, clean filters keep coils and blower wheels free of debris, maintaining peak efficiency. We size each filtration stage to your system’s blower capacity to ensure adequate airflow while delivering superior purification.
Can ventilation upgrades really make a difference in indoor air quality?
Absolutely. Modern energy-recovery ventilators (ERVs) or heat-recovery ventilators (HRVs) provide a steady supply of fresh outdoor air while capturing up to 80% of the heat or cooling energy in the exhaust air. This controlled ventilation dilutes indoor pollutants (CO₂, VOCs, humidity) without causing large swings in indoor temperature or energy waste, making your space healthier and more comfortable.
How do I know if my home or facility needs an indoor air quality assessment?
Consider an assessment if you notice persistent odors, humidity problems, allergy or asthma flare-ups indoors, or visible dust buildup shortly after cleaning. We use particulate counters, VOC sensors, and thermal imaging to pinpoint IAQ issues. The assessment results guide recommendations for filtration upgrades, duct sealing, ventilation improvements, or humidity control so you invest only in solutions that address your specific needs.
