FAQs
How does Delano’s climate affect indoor air quality and why should I be concerned?
Delano’s hot, dry summers and occasional agricultural dust can push outdoor pollutants—such as pollen, particulate matter, and ozone—into your home. Because many residents rely on closed-window air-conditioning for relief, contaminants can build up indoors. Poor indoor air quality (IAQ) can aggravate allergies, asthma, and other respiratory issues, so maintaining proper ventilation, filtration, and humidity control is essential.
What types of air quality solutions do you offer for homes and businesses in Delano?
We provide a full suite of IAQ products and services, including high-efficiency HVAC filters (MERV 11–16), HEPA bypass filtration systems, UV-C germicidal lamps, whole-home air purifiers, energy-recovery ventilators (ERVs), humidifiers/dehumidifiers, and duct cleaning/sealing. Each solution is selected and sized based on your building’s layout, existing HVAC equipment, and specific air-quality concerns.
How often should HVAC filters be changed in Delano’s Central Valley environment?
Because Delano experiences high dust and pollen counts—especially during harvest and windy periods—we recommend checking standard 1-inch filters every 30 days and replacing them at least every 60 days. High-capacity pleated or media filters can last 3–6 months but should still be inspected monthly. Homes with pets, smokers, or allergy sufferers may require more frequent changes.
Will adding an energy-recovery ventilator (ERV) increase my energy bills?
An ERV actually helps reduce overall energy use. It pre-conditions incoming fresh air by transferring heat and moisture with outgoing stale air, which means your HVAC system spends less energy heating or cooling ventilation air. Customers typically see a 5–15 % net savings on heating and cooling costs, while enjoying continuous fresh air and consistent humidity levels.
Can UV lights really make a difference in my HVAC system?
Yes. UV-C lamps installed near the evaporator coil and inside the supply plenum neutralize mold spores, bacteria, and some viruses as they pass by. This keeps the coil cleaner, improving heat transfer efficiency and airflow, and reduces microbial growth in ductwork. While UV lights aren’t a standalone solution, when combined with good filtration they significantly enhance IAQ and HVAC performance.
What maintenance services do you provide to ensure long-term ventilation and air quality?
Our maintenance plans include seasonal HVAC tune-ups, filter replacements, coil cleaning, blower assembly inspection, duct integrity checks, airflow balancing, and IAQ testing with particle counters and humidity sensors. We document baseline readings and track improvements over time so you always know your system’s health and indoor air quality status.
