FAQs
How does Knoxville’s climate impact indoor air quality, and what can be done about it?
Knoxville experiences hot, humid summers and cool, damp winters—both of which can trap pollutants such as pollen, mold spores, and dust inside a home. Our indoor air-quality solutions include whole-home dehumidifiers for summer humidity, energy-recovery ventilators (ERVs) for year-round fresh-air exchange, and high-efficiency air cleaners that capture tiny particulate matter common in East Tennessee.
What kinds of air purification and filtration products do you install?
We offer a full range—from MERV-13 media filters and HEPA bypass filters to UV-C germicidal lamps and electronic air cleaners. After testing your home’s air, we recommend the best combination to remove allergens, neutralize odors, and kill airborne bacteria or viruses without restricting HVAC airflow.
How often should HVAC filters and ventilation components be serviced or replaced?
Standard 1-inch filters should be inspected monthly and replaced every 60–90 days. High-capacity media filters last 6–12 months, while UV lamps need new bulbs every 12–18 months. ERV cores and ventilation fans should receive professional cleaning once a year to keep efficiency and indoor air quality high.
Can better ventilation and humidity control lower my energy bills?
Yes. Balanced ventilation reduces the need for opening windows, preventing conditioned air from escaping. Proper humidity control helps the body feel cooler in summer and warmer in winter, allowing you to raise or lower the thermostat 2–3 °F and cut energy use by up to 10 %. Additionally, clean coils and filters let your HVAC system run more efficiently.
What health benefits might I notice after installing indoor air-quality upgrades?
Customers commonly report fewer allergy flare-ups, less dust accumulation, better sleep, and reduced musty odors. By removing mold spores, pet dander, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), our solutions can help ease asthma symptoms and improve overall respiratory comfort for the entire household.
How much does an indoor air-quality upgrade cost in Knoxville, and do you offer financing?
Pricing starts around $450 for a media filter cabinet installation and ranges to $2,500–$4,500 for a complete package with whole-home dehumidification and an ERV. We provide free in-home assessments, up-front flat-rate quotes, and 0 % APR financing for qualified homeowners to make clean, healthy air affordable.
