FAQs
What types of advanced ventilation systems do you offer for homes in Lynchburg?
We install and service a full range of residential ventilation solutions, including energy-recovery ventilators (ERVs), heat-recovery ventilators (HRVs), whole-house exhaust systems, supply-only fresh-air intakes, and integrated smart dampers that work with your existing HVAC. Each option is selected based on your home’s size, layout, insulation level, and indoor-air-quality goals.
How do your ventilation systems improve indoor air quality?
Our units continuously exchange stale indoor air with filtered outdoor air while capturing up to 90% of the outgoing heating or cooling energy. This process removes excess humidity, odors, VOCs, and airborne pollutants such as dust, pollen, and pet dander. High-MERV or HEPA filtration upgrades are available for households with allergy or asthma concerns.
Will an advanced ventilation system increase my energy bills?
Modern ERVs and HRVs are designed to be energy-neutral or even reduce overall costs. By reclaiming heat (or cooling) from outgoing air, they typically add less than $5–$10 per month to your electric bill while lowering the HVAC load and improving comfort. Many homeowners in Lynchburg see a net savings, especially when the system replaces bathroom and kitchen exhaust fans that vent conditioned air directly outdoors.
Can a new ventilation unit be integrated with my existing heating and air-conditioning equipment?
Yes. Most ERVs and HRVs are ducted into your current supply or return plenums, allowing them to share ductwork with your furnace or heat pump. For homes without central ducts, we offer dedicated ducting packages or ductless fan-coil connections. Our technicians will evaluate your system during a free in-home assessment to recommend the best integration approach.
How often does a ventilation system need maintenance?
Routine upkeep is straightforward. Washable or replaceable filters should be cleaned every 3–6 months, and the core, fans, and drains should be inspected annually. We provide a low-cost maintenance plan that includes filter deliveries, yearly performance testing, and a full system tune-up to keep your warranty intact and ensure peak efficiency.
Are there local incentives or rebates for installing advanced ventilation in Lynchburg?
Yes. Appalachian Power and the Virginia Department of Energy often offer rebates for ENERGY STAR® certified ERVs/HRVs, typically ranging from $150 to $300. Federal tax credits under the Inflation Reduction Act may cover up to 30% of the installed cost (capped at $600 for qualified air-handling equipment). We handle all paperwork and will verify eligibility during your quote.
