FAQs
Why is indoor air quality such a concern in Johnson City’s climate?
East Tennessee’s four distinct seasons mean homes are shut tight for heating in winter and air-conditioning in summer. Pollen from spring blooms, summer humidity that feeds mold, and fall leaf debris can all accumulate indoors, while wood-burning stoves and gas furnaces add combustion by-products. Without proper ventilation and filtration, these particles linger, aggravating allergies and asthma and even affecting HVAC efficiency. A dedicated air-purification and balanced-ventilation strategy keeps fresh outdoor air circulating while trapping pollutants before you breathe them.
How do whole-home air purifiers integrate with my existing heating and air-conditioning system?
Most whole-home units are installed in the supply or return plenum of your central HVAC ductwork. Air from every room passes through the purifier each time the furnace or air-conditioner runs, allowing the system to treat the entire home rather than a single space. Our technicians select a unit sized to your airflow (CFM) and static-pressure limits, ensuring the blower motor can still move air efficiently. In many cases we can add a dedicated control that lets you run the fan for continuous purification even when heating or cooling is off.
What kinds of contaminants will your Johnson City-area air purifiers remove?
Our recommended systems use multi-stage technology: 1) a pleated MERV-13–16 media filter captures pollen, dust, and pet dander down to 0.3 µm; 2) an activated-carbon layer adsorbs odors, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and smoke; 3) optional UV-C or photocatalytic modules neutralize mold spores, bacteria, and viruses. Together, these stages tackle over 90 % of airborne particles and many gaseous pollutants common to the Tri-Cities region.
How often will I need maintenance or filter changes?
For most households we recommend inspecting the media filter every 3 months and replacing it every 6-12 months, depending on pets, smoking, or high pollen counts. UV lamps should be replaced yearly to maintain germicidal strength. Our Comfort Club maintenance plan includes bi-annual HVAC tune-ups where we clean coils, verify airflow, and replace purification components, keeping your warranty intact and your system running at peak efficiency.
Will adding an air purifier or energy-recovery ventilator raise my utility bills?
A properly matched system has minimal impact. High-efficiency ECM blowers in modern furnaces and air handlers draw only 60-120 watts when circulating air for purification—about the same as a standard light bulb. Energy-recovery ventilators (ERVs) exchange stale indoor air for fresh outdoor air while transferring up to 70 % of heat and humidity, so you gain ventilation without a big heating-or-cooling penalty. Many customers actually see lower bills because cleaner coils and ducts allow the HVAC system to operate more efficiently.
Are there rebates or incentives for indoor air-quality upgrades in Johnson City or Tennessee?
Yes. BrightRidge and TVA frequently offer rebates—currently up to $150—for installing high-efficiency filtration or ERV systems with a qualifying HVAC upgrade. The federal Inflation Reduction Act also provides a 30 % tax credit (capped at $1,200 annually) for certain air-cleaning and ventilation equipment that meets ENERGY STAR® criteria. Our team will help you gather model numbers, efficiency ratings, and invoices so you can claim every available incentive.
