FAQs
How often should I replace or clean my HVAC air filters in Kodak’s climate?
In Kodak’s mix of hot, humid summers and cool winters, we recommend checking your filter every 30 days and replacing (or washing, if reusable) it at least every 60–90 days. Homes with pets, allergy sufferers, or recent construction may need monthly changes to keep airflow strong and indoor air quality high.
What are the signs my home needs better ventilation?
Persistent odors, condensation on windows, mold growth in bathrooms, and a lingering “stuffy” feeling all point to insufficient ventilation. If you notice these issues—even with a clean filter—your home may benefit from mechanical ventilation options such as an energy-recovery ventilator (ERV) or a heat-recovery ventilator (HRV).
How can an ERV or HRV improve indoor air quality?
ERVs and HRVs continuously exchange stale indoor air with fresh outdoor air while recovering up to 80% of the energy in the outgoing airstream. This keeps pollutants and excess humidity under control without dramatically increasing your heating or cooling costs—especially useful in Kodak’s humid summers and chilly winters.
Is duct cleaning really necessary?
Most HVAC systems only need duct cleaning every 5–7 years, but homes with heavy dust, pets, smokers, or recent renovations can benefit sooner. Professional cleaning removes built-up debris, allergens, and microbial growth, restoring airflow and improving air quality. We inspect first and advise only if buildup is significant.
How does humidity impact comfort and health?
Relative humidity between 30–50% is ideal. When humidity is too high (common in Kodak summers), you feel sticky, mold thrives, and dust mites multiply. When it’s too low (during winter heating), skin and sinuses dry out and viruses spread more easily. Whole-house dehumidifiers and humidifiers integrated with your HVAC system automatically keep humidity in the healthy range.
What simple steps can I take today to boost air quality without major upgrades?
1) Run your bathroom and kitchen exhaust fans for at least 15 minutes after cooking or showering. 2) Keep vents unblocked by furniture and rugs. 3) Vacuum with a HEPA-filter unit weekly. 4) Maintain plants that naturally filter air (like spider plants). 5) Schedule annual HVAC tune-ups to ensure components and refrigerant levels are operating correctly for optimal filtration and ventilation.
