FAQs
Why is proper ventilation important for homes and businesses in La Follette?
Adequate ventilation removes stale air, excess humidity, odors, and airborne contaminants that can accumulate indoors—especially in Tennessee’s humid climate. Proper airflow helps prevent mold growth, maintains comfortable temperatures, reduces allergens, and supports HVAC efficiency, leading to healthier indoor environments and lower energy costs.
How can an energy-recovery ventilator (ERV) improve my indoor air quality?
An ERV exchanges stale indoor air with fresh outdoor air while transferring heat and moisture between the two airstreams. This process supplies continuous fresh air, reduces pollutants, balances humidity, and minimizes energy loss. In La Follette’s hot summers and cool winters, an ERV keeps your home comfortable and energy-efficient all year.
What signs indicate I may need a dedicated ventilation upgrade?
Common indicators include persistent odors, stuffy or damp rooms, visible mold, condensation on windows, increased allergy or asthma symptoms, and high energy bills due to overworked HVAC equipment. If you notice any of these issues, a professional ventilation assessment can identify the right solution.
Can improving ventilation lower my heating and cooling costs?
Yes. Balanced ventilation reduces humidity and distributes conditioned air more evenly, enabling your HVAC system to run less frequently and at lower capacity. Additionally, devices like ERVs and HRVs recover up to 80% of the energy in exhaust air, lowering overall energy consumption and utility expenses.
How often should I change or clean ventilation filters?
For most La Follette households, ventilation or HVAC filters should be inspected monthly and replaced every 60–90 days. Homes with pets, smokers, or residents with allergies may require more frequent changes—every 30–45 days—to maintain optimal air quality and system efficiency.
What professional services do you offer to enhance ventilation and air quality?
We provide comprehensive indoor air quality assessments, design and installation of ERV/HRV systems, duct cleaning and sealing, whole-house dehumidifiers, high-efficiency air filters, UV germicidal lights, and routine maintenance plans. Our technicians ensure each solution is tailored to the specific needs of La Follette homes and businesses.
