FAQs
Why is indoor air quality such a concern in Tazewell, and how can your HVAC solutions help?
Tazewell’s four-season climate means homes are closed up against pollen in spring, humid heat in summer, and wood-smoke or gas heating in winter. All of these conditions trap airborne contaminants—dust, mold spores, pet dander, VOCs, and even viruses—inside your living space. Our custom-designed HVAC and air-quality packages use high-MERV filtration, whole-home air purifiers, UV-C lamps, and controlled ventilation to continuously remove pollutants and bring in fresh, conditioned air. The result is cleaner, healthier air and fewer allergy or asthma flare-ups.
What specific air-quality products and services do you offer?
We install and service a full line of IAQ (indoor air-quality) solutions, including: • Whole-home media filters (MERV 11–16) • HEPA bypass filtration systems • Electronic/ionizing air cleaners • UV-C germicidal lamps for coil and airstream disinfection • Energy-recovery ventilators (ERVs) for fresh-air exchange • Whole-house humidifiers and dehumidifiers • Programmable and smart thermostats with IAQ monitoring Our technicians evaluate your home’s size, duct layout, and existing HVAC equipment, then recommend the right mix of products to solve your specific air-quality challenges.
How often should filters and IAQ equipment be maintained, and do you handle the service?
Yes. We provide one-time service calls and affordable maintenance plans. Standard 1-inch filters should be changed every 30–60 days, while high-capacity media filters can last 6–12 months. UV lamps typically need bulb replacement every 12–24 months, and ERV cores should be cleaned twice a year. During semiannual HVAC tune-ups we inspect, clean, and test every IAQ device, so you never have to worry about remembering individual service intervals.
Will upgrading my air-quality system also improve energy efficiency and lower utility bills?
In many cases, yes. Dirty coils and clogged filters make your heat pump or furnace work harder, driving up energy use. High-efficiency filtration combined with routine maintenance keeps airflow at optimal levels. Adding an ERV reduces the load on heating and cooling equipment by reclaiming up to 80 % of the energy in stale exhaust air. Smart thermostats and humidity control let you feel comfortable at slightly higher summer settings and lower winter settings, cutting utility costs by 5–15 % a year.
How long does installation take, and will it disrupt my home?
Most IAQ retrofits—media filters, UV lamps, and humidifiers—are completed in one day with minimal disruption. More involved projects like duct modifications or ERV installations typically require 1–2 days. We protect floors with drop cloths, wear shoe covers, and fully clean the workspace before leaving. Our team coordinates around your schedule, and heat or AC downtime is usually limited to a few hours.
Do you offer financing or local rebates for air-quality and HVAC upgrades in Tazewell?
Absolutely. We partner with several lenders to provide low-interest and no-interest financing options, often with same-day approval. Many high-efficiency heat pumps, ERVs, and smart thermostats qualify for TVA EnergyRight and federal tax incentives, which can cover 10–30 % of project costs. During your free in-home consultation, we identify every rebate you’re eligible for and handle the paperwork so you get maximum savings.
