FAQs
Why is proper ventilation especially important for homes in Soddy-Daisy?
Soddy-Daisy’s warm, humid summers and mild, often damp winters create conditions where excess moisture, pollen, and indoor pollutants can accumulate quickly. Adequate mechanical ventilation removes stale, humid air and brings in fresh outdoor air, helping prevent mold growth, controlling odors, reducing allergen levels, and protecting the structural integrity of your home. Good ventilation also supports your HVAC system by balancing indoor humidity so it can heat and cool more efficiently.
How can I tell if my indoor air quality (IAQ) needs improvement?
Common warning signs include persistent musty or chemical odors, condensation on windows, frequent dust buildup, worsening allergy or asthma symptoms, unexplained headaches or fatigue, and visible mold. You may also notice your HVAC filters clogging faster than usual. A professional IAQ assessment—using monitors for particulates, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), carbon dioxide, and humidity—can pinpoint specific pollutants and guide the right ventilation or filtration upgrades.
What ventilation solutions do you offer, and how do they work?
We install and service energy-recovery ventilators (ERVs), heat-recovery ventilators (HRVs), balanced supply-and-exhaust fans, and whole-house dehumidification systems. HRVs and ERVs exchange stale indoor air with fresh outdoor air while transferring heat (and, in ERVs, moisture) between the two airstreams to minimize energy loss. Balanced systems provide controlled intake and exhaust to keep indoor pressure even, while dehumidifiers remove excess moisture from incoming or recirculated air—critical in our humid climate.
How often should my ventilation and HVAC components be maintained?
We recommend professional inspection and cleaning at least once a year—ideally in early spring before cooling season. Filters for ERVs, HRVs, and HVAC units generally need replacement every 1–3 months, depending on filter type and local pollen levels. Fans, ducts, and heat-exchange cores should be cleaned annually to prevent dust buildup that can restrict airflow and reduce efficiency. Regular maintenance prolongs equipment life, keeps energy consumption low, and ensures healthy indoor air.
Can improved ventilation lower my energy bills?
Yes. Modern ERV and HRV units recover up to 70-85 % of the heat (and, with ERVs, humidity) that would otherwise be lost during ventilation. By pre-conditioning incoming air, they reduce the workload on your furnace and air conditioner. Balanced ventilation also prevents the pressure imbalances that can cause conditioned air to leak through the building envelope. Together with proper insulation and air sealing, these upgrades often cut heating and cooling costs by 10–20 %.
Do you provide air purification options for allergies, odors, and humidity control?
Absolutely. In addition to ventilation equipment, we offer high-MERV pleated filters, whole-home HEPA bypass filtration, UV-C germicidal lamps, activated-carbon modules for odor/VOC removal, and smart dehumidifiers integrated with your HVAC system. During installation we size each component to your home’s square footage, existing ductwork, and specific concerns—whether that’s seasonal pollen, pet dander, lingering cooking smells, or high summer humidity. Our goal is a customized, low-maintenance solution that delivers cleaner, healthier air year-round in Soddy-Daisy.
