FAQs

Why is indoor air quality such a concern for homeowners in Delano?

Delano experiences hot, dusty summers and cooler winters, which means homes are often sealed up for long stretches to conserve conditioned air. Limited fresh-air exchange lets pollen, agricultural dust, wildfire smoke, and household contaminants build up inside. Poor indoor air quality (IAQ) can aggravate allergies, asthma, and other respiratory issues. Our customized HVAC and ventilation solutions are designed to continuously remove stale air, filter pollutants, and balance humidity so your family can breathe easier all year.

What kinds of ventilation upgrades can you add to my existing heating and air system?

We integrate several options without requiring a full system replacement: • Fresh-air intakes with motorized dampers that introduce outdoor air when conditions are optimal. • Energy Recovery Ventilators (ERVs) or Heat Recovery Ventilators (HRVs) that exchange stale indoor air with filtered outdoor air while reclaiming up to 80% of the heating or cooling energy. • Variable-speed exhaust fans for kitchens, baths, and laundry rooms tied to smart controls. • Zoning dampers and smart thermostats to balance airflow between rooms. Each upgrade is sized to your home’s square footage, existing ductwork, and local code requirements.

How often should my air ducts be cleaned, and what signs tell me it’s time?

For most Delano homes we recommend professional duct cleaning every 3–5 years. You may need service sooner if you notice: visible dust around supply registers, musty odors when the system runs, unexplained spikes in utility bills, worsening allergy symptoms, or if you’ve recently completed renovations. During cleaning we also inspect for leaks, crushed sections, and insulation gaps that can waste energy and compromise air quality.

Do whole-home air purifiers really make a difference against Kern County allergens and wildfire smoke?

Yes. We install medical-grade filtration systems—such as MERV-16 media filters and HEPA bypass units—that capture up to 99.97% of particles down to 0.3 microns, including pollen, agricultural dust, mold spores, bacteria, and smoke particulate. When paired with UV-C lamps, they also neutralize many airborne viruses and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Clients typically report significant reductions in sneezing, coughing, and smoke odor within days of installation.

Can an Energy Recovery Ventilator help cut my heating and cooling costs?

Absolutely. ERVs pre-condition incoming fresh air by transferring heat and humidity to—or from—exhaust air depending on the season. In Delano’s hot summers, the ERV sheds heat and moisture from incoming air, reducing your AC’s workload. In winter, it captures warmth from outgoing air to temper the incoming supply. Homeowners typically see 10–20% HVAC energy savings while maintaining consistent, filtered airflow.

Are there rebates or financing programs available for ventilation and IAQ upgrades in Delano?

Yes. Through PG&E and Southern California Edison, many high-efficiency ventilation products—like ERVs, smart thermostats, and high-MERV filtration systems—qualify for rebates of $100–$500. We’re also a certified contractor with the TECH Clean California initiative, which offers additional incentives for heat-pump HVAC systems that include advanced ventilation controls. For upfront costs, we provide 0% interest financing for 12 months or low-APR plans up to 60 months, subject to credit approval.
