FAQs
Why is professional ventilation and air-quality service important for homes in Shelbyville?
Shelbyville’s four-season climate means homes are closed up for heating in winter and for air-conditioning in summer, so indoor pollutants can build up quickly. Professional ventilation service removes stale air, introduces the correct amount of fresh outdoor air, and balances humidity, helping prevent issues such as mold growth, aggravated allergies, and lingering odors while also protecting your HVAC equipment.
What tailored ventilation solutions do you offer for older Shelbyville homes that lack ductwork?
For houses without existing ductwork, we install energy-efficient ductless heat-pump systems paired with dedicated fresh-air ERVs (energy-recovery ventilators). These compact units fit through exterior walls, require minimal construction, and deliver both conditioned air and continuous ventilation without altering your home’s historic character.
How can I tell if my indoor air quality is poor?
Common warning signs include persistent dust buildup, musty smells, visible mold, excessive humidity (window condensation), static shocks from dry air, frequent allergy or asthma flare-ups, and unexplained fatigue or headaches. We can perform a whole-house IAQ audit that measures particulate levels, VOCs, carbon monoxide, and humidity so you know exactly where improvements are needed.
Will better ventilation increase my energy bills?
Not when it’s designed properly. We specify high-efficiency ERVs/HRVs that transfer heat and humidity between incoming and outgoing air streams, so you gain fresh air with minimal energy loss. In many cases, improved air balance actually reduces heating and cooling costs because your equipment no longer has to work as hard to overcome excess humidity, stale air, or pressure imbalances.
How often should HVAC filters and ventilator cores be serviced in Shelbyville’s climate?
Standard 1-inch HVAC filters should be checked monthly and replaced at least every 60 days during heavy heating-or-cooling seasons. High-MERV or HEPA filters may last up to 90 days. ERV/HRV cores and ventilator pre-filters need cleaning every 6 months and a deeper service once a year to keep airflow and energy-transfer efficiency high.
Do you offer indoor air quality products that integrate with smart home systems?
Yes. We carry Wi-Fi enabled thermostats, smart ventilators, and air-quality monitors that sync with platforms like Google Home, Amazon Alexa, and Apple HomeKit. These devices allow real-time monitoring of temperature, humidity, and pollutant levels, and can automatically adjust your HVAC or ventilation settings to maintain optimal comfort and air quality while maximizing energy savings.
