FAQs
How often should I have my HVAC system inspected in Greeneville’s climate?
Because Greeneville experiences humid summers and cool winters, we recommend a professional inspection and tune-up twice a year—once in the spring for cooling components and once in the fall for heating. Regular biannual maintenance keeps equipment efficient, prevents breakdowns during peak seasons, and helps protect indoor air quality.
What signs indicate that my home needs better ventilation or air-quality solutions?
Persistent odors, visible dust buildup, frequent allergy or asthma flare-ups, condensation on windows, and uneven temperatures between rooms all suggest inadequate ventilation or filtration. An indoor air-quality assessment can pinpoint the exact sources—whether it’s excess humidity, particulate matter, or poor air exchange—and guide the right solution such as mechanical ventilation, air purifiers, or duct improvements.
Can upgrading my air filter really make a noticeable difference in air quality?
Yes. Standard 1-inch fiberglass filters only trap larger debris, while high-MERV pleated or HEPA-grade filters capture smaller allergens, smoke particles, and some bacteria. In Greeneville’s pollen-rich spring and fall seasons, an upgraded filter significantly reduces airborne irritants. Just be sure your system can handle the higher resistance; our technicians can verify compatibility and adjust fan settings if needed.
How does a whole-home dehumidifier help in Greeneville’s humid months?
A whole-home dehumidifier removes excess moisture directly from the HVAC airflow, maintaining indoor humidity around 45–50 %. Lower humidity inhibits mold growth, reduces dust-mite populations, and lets you set the thermostat a few degrees higher without sacrificing comfort, saving energy. It also protects wood floors, furniture, and electronics from moisture damage.
What is involved in professional duct cleaning and sealing, and why is it important?
We start with a camera inspection to locate leaks, debris, or microbial growth. Next, we use HEPA-filtered vacuums and rotary brushes to remove dust and contaminants, followed by EPA-approved sanitizers if needed. Leaks are sealed with mastic or aerosolized polymer, restoring up to 30 % of lost airflow, boosting efficiency, and preventing pollutants from entering the airstream.
Are there energy-efficient ventilation options that also improve indoor air quality?
Absolutely. Energy Recovery Ventilators (ERVs) and Heat Recovery Ventilators (HRVs) exchange stale indoor air with fresh outdoor air while transferring heat (and in ERVs, moisture) between the air streams. This preserves conditioned air, lowers utility costs, and delivers a constant supply of fresh air—ideal for tightly sealed modern homes in Greeneville.
