FAQs
Why is indoor air quality such a concern for homeowners in Rogersville?
Rogersville’s four-season climate means homes stay closed up for long stretches in both hot, humid summers and cool winters. Dust, pet dander, pollen, and moisture can build up indoors, and modern air-tight construction traps these pollutants inside. Poor indoor air quality can aggravate allergies, asthma, and other respiratory issues. Our HVAC and ventilation solutions are designed to dilute, capture, and remove contaminants so your family can breathe easier all year.
What services do you offer to improve ventilation and air quality?
We provide a full suite of IAQ (Indoor Air Quality) solutions: high-efficiency air filters (MERV 11-16), whole-home HEPA filtration, media cabinets, UV-C germicidal lights, humidifiers/dehumidifiers, energy-recovery ventilators (ERVs), duct cleaning, and blower-door tests to locate leaks. Our technicians evaluate your home, discuss your concerns, and recommend the right combination of equipment and maintenance to balance fresh-air intake, humidity, and pollutant removal.
How often should I replace or clean my HVAC filter in Rogersville’s climate?
For the average home with a 1-inch pleated filter, we suggest replacement every 60–90 days. If you have pets, allergies, or live near construction or farmland, change it every 30–45 days. Thicker media filters (4–5 inches) usually last 6–12 months. Regular replacement keeps airflow strong, protects the blower motor, and captures more contaminants before they circulate through your living space.
Can upgrading my thermostat really lower my energy bills?
Yes. A Wi-Fi or smart thermostat learns your schedule and automatically adjusts temperature settings, preventing the system from running when the house is empty. In Rogersville, the Department of Energy estimates savings of up to 10% per year on heating and cooling by setting back the thermostat 7°–10°F for 8 hours a day. Many smart thermostats also track indoor humidity and remind you about filter changes, helping maintain ideal air quality.
What preseason maintenance should be performed on my heating and cooling equipment?
Schedule a professional tune-up each spring for your AC and each fall for your furnace or heat pump. Our 20-point inspection includes cleaning the evaporator and condenser coils, checking refrigerant charge, tightening electrical connections, lubricating motors, testing safety controls, and verifying airflow. Routine maintenance improves efficiency, extends equipment life, and catches small problems—like a dirty blower wheel or clogged condensate line—before they lead to costly repairs or poor air quality.
How do I know if my home needs a whole-house ventilation system?
Signs include persistent condensation on windows, lingering odors, stuffy rooms, or frequent allergy flare-ups despite regular cleaning. If your home was built or renovated after 2010, it is likely more airtight and relies on mechanical ventilation to bring in fresh air. Our technicians can perform an indoor air quality assessment and calculate air changes per hour (ACH). If ACH is below recommended levels, an ERV or HRV system can be integrated with your existing ductwork to provide balanced, energy-efficient ventilation without sacrificing comfort.
