FAQs
Why is indoor air quality such a concern for homeowners in Farragut?
Farragut’s warm, humid summers and frequent pollen spikes can trap moisture, allergens, and airborne pollutants inside tightly sealed homes. Poor IAQ has been linked to aggravated allergies, asthma, headaches, and fatigue. By monitoring and improving your indoor air quality, you create a healthier living space, protect HVAC equipment from dust buildup, and may even lower energy bills because your system can run more efficiently.
What indoor-air-quality solutions do you provide for heating, air conditioning, and ventilation systems?
We design whole-home strategies that combine high-MERV or HEPA filtration, UV-C germicidal lights, electronic air cleaners, media filters, energy-recovery ventilators (ERVs), and humidity control with dehumidifiers and humidifiers. Each solution is sized to your existing HVAC equipment, home layout, and air-quality goals, ensuring balanced ventilation and continuous removal of dust, pollen, pet dander, VOCs, and microbes.
How does a whole-home air purifier differ from a portable room unit?
A whole-home air purifier is installed in the return-air plenum of your central HVAC system, so every time the blower runs it treats the air in every conditioned room. Portable units clean only one space, require more frequent filter changes, and can be noisy or bulky. Whole-home purifiers operate quietly, share one high-capacity filter, and generally cost less to operate per square foot of treated area.
How often should I replace or clean HVAC filters to maintain good air quality?
In Farragut’s climate, we recommend inspecting standard 1-inch filters monthly and replacing them at least every 60 days. Higher-capacity 4- to 5-inch media filters can last 6–12 months but should be checked quarterly, especially if you have pets or allergies. Smart thermostats with filter alerts, or our maintenance plans, can remind you when service is due.
Can improved ventilation really reduce humidity and mold problems in Farragut homes?
Yes. Energy-recovery ventilators (ERVs) exchange stale indoor air for fresh outdoor air while transferring heat and moisture, preventing excess humidity from building up inside. Balanced ventilation lowers relative humidity to the 40–50 % range that discourages mold, dust mites, and musty odors. Pairing an ERV with a whole-home dehumidifier offers the most effective moisture control during our muggy summer months.
Will your indoor-air-quality products work with my existing furnace or heat pump?
In most cases, yes. Our IAQ solutions are designed to integrate with standard forced-air furnaces, air handlers, and heat pumps. We perform a quick compatibility check to confirm duct size, blower capacity, and electrical requirements. If minor modifications are needed—such as adding a short duct transition or an extra electrical outlet—we handle those during installation to ensure seamless operation and full warranty coverage.
