FAQs
What indoor air-quality services do you offer in Cowan?
We provide a complete line of IAQ solutions, including whole-home air purifiers, high-efficiency media and HEPA filtration, ultraviolet (UV-C) germicidal lamps, humidity control (both humidifiers and dehumidifiers), duct cleaning and sealing, and fresh-air ventilation systems. All services are performed by licensed HVAC technicians who understand the climate conditions that are unique to Cowan and the surrounding Franklin County area.
How can I tell if my home has poor indoor air quality?
Common warning signs include persistent dust buildup, musty or stale odors, visible mold, excessive humidity or static electricity, aggravated allergy or asthma symptoms, frequent respiratory irritation, and unexplained spikes in energy bills. A professional IAQ assessment—using particle counters, humidity gauges, and CO/CO₂ monitors—can pinpoint specific pollutants and recommend targeted solutions.
What benefits do air purification and advanced filtration systems provide?
Quality air purifiers and HEPA or electronic filters capture up to 99.97 % of airborne particles such as pollen, pet dander, and dust mites, while activated carbon removes odors and chemical vapors. This leads to reduced allergy and asthma flare-ups, fewer airborne pathogens, less household dust, and overall healthier, cleaner indoor air. Many clients also notice improved sleep and increased HVAC efficiency because clean air flows more freely through the system.
How often should HVAC filters be replaced and systems maintained?
Standard 1-inch disposable filters should be replaced every 30–60 days, while 4- to 5-inch media filters can last 3–6 months. HEPA or electronic filters require quarterly inspections and periodic cleaning. We recommend a comprehensive HVAC tune-up twice a year—once before the heating season and once before cooling season—to keep equipment efficient, maintain warranty coverage, and ensure IAQ devices such as UV lamps and humidifiers are functioning correctly.
Can improving indoor air quality help reduce energy bills?
Yes. Clean filters and ducts reduce airflow resistance, allowing your furnace or air conditioner to run shorter cycles. Proper humidity control lets you feel comfortable at lower heating setpoints in winter and higher cooling setpoints in summer, which can cut energy use by 5–15 %. Sealing leaky ductwork prevents conditioned air from escaping, often improving system efficiency by up to 20 %.
Do you offer financing or rebates for IAQ upgrades and HVAC installations in Cowan?
We partner with regional utilities and manufacturers to provide seasonal rebates on qualifying air purifiers, high-efficiency heat pumps, and smart thermostats. Flexible financing plans with low- or no-interest options are available for most IAQ projects, subject to credit approval. Our team will handle the paperwork and guide you through all local incentives so you can improve your home’s air quality without straining your budget.
