FAQs
Why is proper ventilation important for indoor air quality in Jellico’s climate?
Jellico experiences warm, humid summers and cool winters. Without balanced ventilation, excess moisture, pollen, and outdoor pollutants can accumulate indoors, leading to mold growth, lingering odors, and aggravated allergies. A well-designed ventilation system continually replaces stale air with filtered, conditioned outdoor air, keeping humidity in check and ensuring the air you breathe is fresh and healthy year-round.
How do advanced ventilation systems differ from traditional HVAC setups?
Traditional HVAC systems focus mainly on heating and cooling and depend on incidental air leaks or an open window for ventilation. Our advanced systems integrate dedicated fresh-air intakes, high-efficiency filters, and heat- or energy-recovery ventilators (HRVs/ERVs). These components deliver a controlled supply of outdoor air while transferring heat and, in the case of ERVs, moisture between the outgoing and incoming airstreams. The result is superior air quality, reduced energy loss, and a more comfortable indoor environment.
What ventilation solutions do you offer for homes and businesses in Jellico?
We design, install, and service: • Heat-Recovery Ventilators (HRVs) – ideal for colder months to reclaim warmth from exhaust air. • Energy-Recovery Ventilators (ERVs) – perfect for Jellico’s humid summers, as they exchange both heat and moisture. • Demand-controlled ventilation – sensors adjust airflow based on occupancy and CO₂ levels, maximizing efficiency. • Exhaust and supply fans with smart controls – remove pollutants at the source in kitchens, bathrooms, and workshops. • Duct upgrades and sealing – ensure delivered air reaches every room without leaks.
Can upgrading my ventilation system lower my energy bills?
Yes. Advanced ventilation equipment, especially HRVs and ERVs, recovers up to 80 % of the heat (and in ERVs, humidity) from exhausted air. This means your heating and cooling equipment works less to maintain set temperatures, cutting energy consumption by 10–30 % depending on your building’s airtightness and existing HVAC performance.
How often should filters and heat-recovery cores be serviced?
For Jellico households, we recommend inspecting and replacing or cleaning filters every 3 months—more often during high pollen seasons. HRV/ERV cores should be cleaned at least once a year to maintain optimal heat exchange efficiency. Commercial facilities with higher occupancy or airborne contaminants may need monthly filter checks and semi-annual core maintenance.
Are there rebates or incentives in Jellico for installing energy-efficient ventilation systems?
Yes. Tennessee’s Department of Environment & Conservation (TDEC) periodically offers rebates for ENERGY STAR-certified ventilation equipment, and local utility providers such as TVA’s EnergyRight program may provide additional incentives for HRV/ERV installations that improve building efficiency. We stay current with all available programs and will assist you in completing the paperwork to maximize your savings.
