FAQs
Why is proper ventilation so important for homes and businesses in Englewood?
Englewood experiences hot, dry summers and cold winters, which means buildings are often sealed tightly to conserve energy. Without adequate ventilation, stale indoor air can trap allergens, dust, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), leading to discomfort and potential health issues. Advanced, balanced ventilation exchanges stale indoor air with fresh, filtered outdoor air year-round, reducing airborne contaminants, controlling humidity, and helping your HVAC system run more efficiently.
What advanced ventilation solutions do you offer and how do they improve indoor air quality?
We design and install energy-recovery ventilators (ERVs), heat-recovery ventilators (HRVs), high-efficiency air filtration, and UV germicidal lights. ERVs and HRVs bring in fresh air while exhausting pollutants and transferring heat or cooling, so you gain fresh air without major energy loss. Pairing these systems with hospital-grade MERV-13+ filters and UV lights captures particulate matter and neutralizes bacteria, viruses, and mold spores, resulting in noticeably cleaner, healthier indoor air.
How do ERV and HRV systems integrate with my existing heating and air conditioning equipment?
ERVs and HRVs are installed in your ductwork, often in the mechanical room or attic. They use dedicated supply and exhaust ducts to move air while a heat-exchange core transfers energy between the outgoing and incoming airstreams. The unit’s controls are synchronized with your HVAC blower, so fresh air is delivered only when it benefits comfort and efficiency. Most systems can be retrofitted to existing furnaces, air handlers, and heat pumps without major construction.
What are the common signs of poor indoor air quality, and how quickly can you help?
Persistent odors, visible dust buildup, frequent allergy or asthma flare-ups, stale or stuffy rooms, and high or low indoor humidity are all indicators that your air quality needs attention. If you notice any of these issues, we can schedule an on-site assessment within 24–48 hours, perform air quality testing, and recommend tailored solutions—often installing temporary filtration the same day to provide immediate relief.
How often should my ventilation equipment be serviced, and what does maintenance involve?
We recommend professional inspection and service once a year, ideally at the start of the heating or cooling season. Maintenance includes cleaning the ERV/HRV core, changing or washing filters, checking fan motors, inspecting duct seals, and verifying that controls are calibrated. Regular service ensures optimal airflow, maintains energy efficiency, and extends equipment life. We offer affordable annual maintenance plans that include priority scheduling and filter replacements.
Will upgrading or adding ventilation increase my energy bills?
Modern ERVs and HRVs are engineered to recover up to 80% of the heat or cooling that would otherwise be lost when exhausting air. In many cases, homeowners see overall energy savings because the HVAC system no longer has to work as hard to overcome indoor pollutants and humidity imbalances. Properly balanced ventilation can also help prevent costly moisture-related problems, such as mold or wood-floor warping, providing long-term savings in repairs and health costs.
