FAQs
Why is indoor air quality a particular concern for homes and businesses in Coalmont?
Coalmont’s elevation and surrounding terrain can trap airborne pollutants like wildfire smoke, dust, and seasonal allergens. During winter, stack-effect drafts pull soil gases and combustion by-products into buildings, while in summer doors and windows stay closed to keep out heat, allowing VOCs and humidity to accumulate. These localized factors make a well-designed ventilation and filtration strategy essential for maintaining healthy, comfortable indoor air.
What HVAC upgrades can most improve the air quality in my Coalmont property?
The biggest gains come from a combination of high-MERV or HEPA filtration, dedicated fresh-air ventilation, and humidity control. 1) Upgrading to a media cabinet or electronic air cleaner rated MERV 13–16 captures fine particulates, pollen, and many bacteria. 2) An Energy Recovery Ventilator (ERV) exchanges stale indoor air with filtered outdoor air while minimizing heat and moisture loss, ideal for Coalmont’s cold winters. 3) A whole-home dehumidifier or humidifier keeps relative humidity in the 35–55 % range, reducing dust mites, mold, and static electricity. Our technicians can integrate all three into new or existing systems.
How often should I have my ventilation and air quality equipment serviced?
We recommend a comprehensive inspection every 12 months—usually at the start of heating season. During the visit we: • replace or wash filters, • clean blower wheels and coils, • verify ERV/HRV core performance, • calibrate humidistat settings, • inspect duct sealing, and • test for carbon monoxide and radon. Properties with pets, smokers, or nearby mining activity may need filter changes every 1–3 months instead of the typical 3–6.
Can superior air filters reduce energy efficiency or strain my furnace?
Not when they are matched correctly. High-MERV filters do create more resistance to airflow, but we size the return ductwork and set blower speeds to compensate. In many cases, upgraded filtration actually lowers energy use because clean coils and blowers transfer heat more efficiently. Our static pressure test ensures your system meets manufacturer specifications after any filter or duct modification.
What signs indicate that my indoor air quality is poor?
Common indicators include persistent dust buildup, musty or chemical odors, condensation on windows, aggravated allergy or asthma symptoms, frequent respiratory infections, and visible mold on walls or vents. You might also see higher energy bills if clogged filters and dirty coils make your HVAC run longer cycles. We offer on-site air sampling and continuous IAQ monitors that measure particulate matter (PM2.5), CO₂, and relative humidity to pinpoint the cause.
How does your company’s IAQ assessment process work?
1) Consultation: We discuss occupant health concerns and evaluate building age, occupancy, and ventilation style. 2) Diagnostics: Our technicians deploy portable monitors for PM, VOC, CO₂, temperature, and humidity; inspect ducts with cameras; and test blower door leakage. 3) Report: You receive a detailed analysis with photos, pollutant readings, and prioritized solutions—including filtration upgrades, sealing, UV germicidal lights, ERV installation, or duct cleaning. 4) Implementation & Verification: After improvements, we retest to confirm cleaner, healthier air. Every step complies with ASHRAE and local Coalmont building codes.
