FAQs
Why is indoor air quality a concern in Jellico, and how can my HVAC system help?
Jellico’s humid summers and cool winters mean homes are often closed up for long periods. This traps moisture, dust, pollen, and other pollutants inside. A properly designed HVAC system with clean filters, balanced airflow, and optional add-ons such as air purifiers can dilute, capture, and remove these contaminants, helping you breathe cleaner air year-round.
What indoor air contaminants are most common in Jellico homes, and what solutions do you provide?
Typical pollutants here include mold spores from our damp climate, pollen from surrounding forests, dust from unpaved roads, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) released by household products. We offer high-MERV pleated filters, UV-C germicidal lights, sealed duct repairs, and whole-home air purifiers with activated carbon to target these specific contaminants.
How often should I replace or clean my HVAC filters to maintain good air quality?
For standard 1-inch filters, check them monthly and replace every 60–90 days. High-efficiency (4–5-inch) filters should be inspected quarterly and replaced every 6–12 months. Homes with pets, allergy sufferers, or recent renovation work may need more frequent changes. Always follow the manufacturer’s guidelines and note that ignoring filter changes is the quickest way to degrade indoor air quality and system efficiency.
What advantages does a whole-home ventilation system offer over opening windows?
While cracking a window can provide fresh air, it also lets in outdoor pollutants, humidity, and temperature extremes. A mechanical ventilation system—such as an Energy Recovery Ventilator (ERV) or Heat Recovery Ventilator (HRV)—introduces filtered outdoor air, expels stale indoor air, and transfers heat or moisture between the two streams. This maintains comfort, controls humidity, and lowers utility bills while ensuring a consistent supply of clean air.
Can smart thermostats and indoor air quality monitors really improve the air in my home?
Yes. Smart thermostats can automate fan cycles to circulate air through filters more often, coordinate with ventilators, and alert you when filters or UV lamps need service. IAQ monitors continuously measure particulate matter, VOCs, humidity, and CO₂. When levels exceed your chosen thresholds, they can trigger ventilation or send alerts to your phone, allowing quick action to keep air quality in check.
Do you offer maintenance plans for indoor air quality equipment in Jellico, and what do they include?
We offer tiered Comfort & Air Quality Maintenance Plans. Each visit includes HVAC performance checks, filter replacements, coil and drain cleaning, ductwork inspection, and calibration of IAQ devices. Advanced plans add UV lamp replacement, ERV/HRV core cleaning, and an annual air quality audit with detailed reports. Members also receive priority scheduling and discounted repairs, ensuring your Jellico home stays healthy and comfortable all year.
