FAQs
Why is proper ventilation especially important for homes and businesses in Kodak, TN?
Kodak’s warm, humid summers and cool, damp winters can trap moisture and airborne contaminants inside well-sealed buildings. Adequate mechanical ventilation removes stale, humid air, reduces mold growth, dilutes indoor pollutants such as VOCs and cleaning chemical fumes, and supplies a steady stream of fresh, filtered outdoor air. This keeps occupants healthier, protects building materials from excess moisture, and helps HVAC systems run more efficiently year-round.
How often should I change my HVAC air filter to maintain good air quality?
Most homes in Kodak should replace disposable 1-inch filters every 30–60 days. If you have pets, allergies, or run your system continuously, change them monthly. High-efficiency 4- to 5-inch media filters can last 6–12 months but need to be inspected quarterly. A clean filter traps dust, pollen, and dander before they circulate, improves system airflow, and can lower energy bills by up to 15 %.
What indoor air quality (IAQ) products do you install and service?
We offer a full line of IAQ solutions, including whole-home ventilators (HRVs and ERVs), HEPA and media air cleaners, UV-C germicidal lamps, activated-carbon filters for odor control, humidifiers, dehumidifiers, and smart thermostats with integrated air-quality sensors. Our technicians evaluate your building’s layout, existing HVAC equipment, and specific air-quality concerns to recommend the right combination for optimal comfort and health.
How can I tell if my ductwork needs cleaning, sealing, or replacement?
Warning signs include visible dust buildup around supply registers, musty odors when the system runs, rooms that are hard to heat or cool, unusually high energy bills, or rattling sounds in the ducts. Our team performs camera inspections and airflow testing to identify leaks, blockages, or insulation gaps. Cleaning removes accumulated debris and microbial growth, while Aeroseal or manual sealing can cut duct leakage by up to 90 %, improving air quality and system performance.
Are there energy-efficient options that also improve ventilation and air quality?
Yes. Variable-speed heat pumps and gas furnaces paired with ECM blower motors deliver precise airflow for both heating/cooling and continuous ventilation at a fraction of the energy use of standard models. Energy-recovery ventilators (ERVs) exchange stale indoor air with fresh outdoor air while capturing up to 80 % of the outgoing energy, reducing utility costs. Combining these systems with smart controls ensures balanced humidity, fewer pollutants, and year-round savings.
What maintenance services do you provide to keep my HVAC and IAQ equipment running at peak performance?
Our Comfort Club plans include two seasonal tune-ups per year, filter replacement, coil and blower cleaning, refrigerant level checks, thermostat calibration, and a full safety inspection. For IAQ devices we replace UV lamps, clean ERV/HRV cores, sanitize humidifier pads, and verify that sensors and controls operate correctly. Regular maintenance extends equipment life, upholds manufacturer warranties, and preserves the clean, healthy air your family or employees depend on.
