FAQs
What indoor-air-quality (IAQ) services do you provide to Helenwood homeowners?
We offer a full lineup of IAQ solutions tailored to the climate and housing styles found in Helenwood. Options include whole-home media and HEPA filtration, UV-C germicidal lamps, electronic air cleaners, humidifiers, dehumidifiers, energy-recovery ventilators (ERVs), and professional duct cleaning and sealing. Every installation is handled by NATE-certified technicians and backed by local permitting and code compliance.
How does a whole-home air purifier differ from a portable room unit?
A whole-home system is installed in the supply or return plenum of your central HVAC equipment, so every cubic foot of air that circulates through your ducts is treated—whether the furnace or air conditioner is running. Portable units clean only the air in one room, take up floor space, and require frequent filter changes. Whole-house purifiers are quieter, hidden from view, and usually need filter or lamp service just once or twice a year.
Can better indoor air quality really lower my energy bills?
Yes. Clean air keeps your heating and cooling coils, blower wheel, and ductwork free of dust buildup, allowing the system to move air more efficiently. Balanced humidity from a properly sized humidifier or dehumidifier also lets you feel comfortable at lower heating setpoints in winter and higher cooling setpoints in summer. Together, these factors can trim 5–15 % off annual utility costs while extending equipment life.
How often should I replace or clean my HVAC filter in the Helenwood area?
For standard 1-inch fiberglass filters, we recommend replacement every 30 days, especially during peak pollen seasons common in Scott County. Pleated MERV 8–11 filters can last up to 90 days, while high-end media cabinets may go 6–12 months. Households with pets, smokers, or allergy sufferers should check filters more frequently. We offer a complimentary filter-reminder service by email or text to keep you on schedule.
Are your IAQ products safe for children, pets, and those with allergies or asthma?
Absolutely. All purifiers, UV lights, and humidity controls we install are UL- and EPA-registered and produce no measurable ozone or harmful byproducts. We select MERV and HEPA filtration levels that capture allergens without restricting airflow, and we size humidifiers/dehumidifiers to maintain the recommended 30–50 % indoor relative-humidity band, reducing dust mites and mold growth. Our team will demonstrate proper maintenance to ensure ongoing safety and performance.
Do you offer free in-home air-quality assessments in Helenwood, and what does the visit include?
Yes. A certified comfort specialist will measure particulate levels, humidity, carbon monoxide, and system static pressure at no charge. We’ll inspect ductwork, vents, and filters; review your family’s allergy or respiratory concerns; and provide a written report with prioritized recommendations and upfront pricing. If you choose any solution within 30 days, the initial assessment fee stays at zero and we’ll deduct 5 % from the installation quote.
