FAQs
Why is indoor air quality a critical concern for homeowners in Englewood?
Englewood’s semi-arid climate can mean very dry, dusty air in winter and higher pollen counts in spring and summer. Because today’s homes are built to be tightly sealed for energy savings, contaminants such as dust, pollen, pet dander, VOCs, and even combustion by-products can become trapped indoors and circulate continuously. Poor indoor air quality (IAQ) can aggravate allergies, asthma, and other respiratory issues, reduce sleep quality, and even damage wood furniture and flooring. A professionally designed ventilation and filtration strategy helps maintain a healthier, more comfortable living environment all year.
What types of ventilation and air purification systems do you install or service?
We offer a full lineup of IAQ solutions, including: • Energy Recovery Ventilators (ERVs) and Heat Recovery Ventilators (HRVs) that exchange stale indoor air with fresh, tempered outdoor air while conserving energy. • Whole-home mechanical ventilation fans to meet current ASHRAE 62.2 standards. • HEPA and MERV-13+ media filtration cabinets that capture microscopic allergens. • UV-C germicidal lights to neutralize airborne viruses, bacteria, and mold spores inside the HVAC plenum. • Photo-catalytic oxidation (PCO) air scrubbers to reduce odors and chemical vapors. • Humidifiers and dehumidifiers to balance moisture levels. All equipment is sized and matched to your existing furnace, heat pump, or air conditioner to ensure optimal airflow and efficiency.
How do HEPA filters, UV lights, and ERVs work together to improve my home’s air quality?
Each device targets a different class of pollutant: • HEPA or high-MERV filters physically trap particulate matter such as dust, pollen, and smoke down to 0.3 microns. • UV-C lamps emit ultraviolet light that disrupts the DNA of microbes, preventing them from reproducing and circulating through your ductwork. • ERVs/HRVs continuously exhaust stale indoor air and bring in fresh air while transferring heat and, in the case of an ERV, some moisture between the airstreams. This reduces CO₂, VOC concentrations, and stuffiness without putting extra load on your heating or cooling system. When installed as a coordinated package, these technologies provide a multi-stage defense against particles, microbes, gases, and humidity imbalances.
How often should I replace or clean my HVAC filters and other IAQ components?
Standard 1-inch furnace filters should typically be replaced every 1–3 months, depending on occupancy, pets, and outdoor conditions. High-capacity 4–5-inch media filters may last 6–12 months. HEPA canisters usually require annual replacement. UV bulbs lose germicidal effectiveness over time and should be swapped out every 12–24 months. ERV/HRV cores need semi-annual inspection and light cleaning, while their filters should be serviced quarterly. We provide a tailored maintenance schedule during installation and can enroll you in our preventative service plan so nothing gets overlooked.
Can you test the air quality in my Englewood home before recommending solutions?
Absolutely. We offer professional IAQ assessments that measure particulate concentration (PM2.5), relative humidity, temperature stratification, carbon dioxide (CO₂), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and, when needed, formaldehyde or radon. Using calibrated sensors, we compile a room-by-room profile and compare the results to EPA and ASHRAE guidelines. This data allows us to target the specific pollutants present in your home and recommend the most effective filtration, ventilation, or humidity control strategy—no guesswork involved.
Are there energy-efficient options that enhance air quality without raising my utility bills?
Yes. Modern IAQ equipment is designed with efficiency in mind: • ECM-driven ERVs move air using high-efficiency motors and recover up to 85 % of the heat energy from exhaust air. • Variable-speed furnaces and heat pumps running in continuous low-CFM mode improve filtration and ventilation while drawing only a fraction of the power of older single-speed blowers. • Smart thermostats and indoor air quality monitors can automate ventilation only when sensors detect high pollutant levels, saving energy the rest of the time. • Demand-controlled humidifiers use outdoor temperature sensors to add just the right amount of moisture, preventing waste. Our team designs each system to balance comfort, air quality, and operating cost, and we can help you take advantage of local Englewood utility rebates and federal tax credits for qualifying equipment.
