FAQs
Why is proper ventilation so important for homes in Evensville’s humid climate?
Evensville experiences warm, humid summers and relatively mild winters, which means excess indoor moisture can build up quickly. Without adequate ventilation, that moisture fuels mold growth, dust-mite populations, and musty odors. A balanced or energy-recovery ventilation (ERV) system continuously exchanges stale indoor air with filtered outdoor air, keeping humidity in check while preserving energy efficiency. Proper ventilation also dilutes indoor pollutants such as VOCs from cleaning products and off-gassing furniture, creating a healthier living space and protecting your HVAC equipment from excess strain.
What are the most energy-efficient air-conditioning options you install for our area?
For Evensville homeowners, we typically recommend high-SEER2 central heat pumps or variable-speed inverter air conditioners. Heat pumps now operate efficiently down to about 5 °F, offering both cooling and economical heating in one unit. Variable-speed compressors adjust output in small increments, matching the exact load, which reduces power consumption, eliminates temperature swings, and controls humidity better than single-stage units. We also offer ductless mini-splits for additions or homes without ductwork. All systems we propose qualify for TVA and federal tax incentives, helping you offset upfront costs while lowering utility bills by 20–40 % compared with older equipment.
How often should I change or clean my HVAC filters to maintain healthy indoor air quality?
As a rule of thumb, basic 1-inch fiberglass filters should be replaced every 30 days, while pleated MERV 8–11 filters last about 60–90 days. Higher-efficiency MERV 13 filters may need changing every 2–3 months, but check monthly during peak summer and winter usage. If you have pets, allergies, or ongoing construction dust, inspect filters more frequently. Clogged filters restrict airflow, forcing the blower to work harder, which raises energy costs and can cause coil icing or furnace overheating. Our Comfort Club maintenance plan includes scheduled filter changes and system inspections so you never have to guess.
What indoor air-quality upgrades do you offer beyond standard filtration?
We carry a full line of IAQ solutions: (1) Whole-house media air cleaners rated up to MERV 16 for capturing fine particulates; (2) HEPA bypass systems that remove 99.97 % of particles down to 0.3 µm; (3) UV-C germicidal lamps installed near the evaporator coil to neutralize mold, bacteria, and viruses; (4) Electronic air cleaners for trapping smoke and ultra-fine particles; (5) Whole-home dehumidifiers that maintain ideal 45–50 % RH, reducing mold and HVAC load; and (6) ERV/HRV units for continuous fresh-air exchange. We perform a free indoor air audit to determine which combination best targets your specific pollutants, allergies, or moisture issues.
How can I tell if my home has poor air circulation or ventilation problems?
Warning signs include uneven temperatures between rooms, lingering cooking or pet odors, condensation on windows, visible mold on walls or around vents, and family members experiencing more allergy or respiratory symptoms indoors than outside. You may also notice high utility bills because the system runs longer trying to compensate for stagnant air pockets. Our technicians can perform airflow testing, duct leakage assessments, and blower-door diagnostics to pinpoint bottlenecks. Solutions range from simple duct balancing and register adjustments to installing dedicated fresh-air intakes or upgrading to a variable-speed blower that runs at lower speeds continuously for better circulation.
Do you handle commercial ventilation projects and local code compliance in Evensville?
Yes. Climate Solutions designs, installs, and services commercial exhaust, make-up air, and dedicated outdoor air systems for offices, restaurants, and light-industrial facilities throughout Rhea County. We ensure designs meet or exceed ASHRAE 62.1 ventilation rates, the 2021 International Mechanical Code, and any specific Tennessee Department of Health requirements for kitchens or healthcare spaces. Our team provides stamped drawings, load calculations, and post-installation air-balance reports to satisfy inspectors. We also offer planned maintenance contracts that include filter service, belt replacement, and indoor air-quality monitoring to keep your occupants comfortable, productive, and code-compliant year-round.
