FAQs
Why is indoor air quality such a concern for Lake City homeowners?
Lake City experiences warm, humid summers and long heating seasons, meaning most residents keep their windows shut for large portions of the year. Contaminants such as pollen, pet dander, wildfire smoke, and excess moisture can become trapped inside, leading to respiratory irritation, musty odors, and mold growth. Our air quality solutions target these local challenges by filtering particles down to 0.3 microns, balancing humidity, and continuously exchanging stale indoor air with fresh, conditioned outdoor air.
What types of air purification systems do you install and how do I know which one is right for my home?
We carry high-efficiency media filters, whole-home HEPA bypass filters, UV-C germicidal lights, and electronic air cleaners. Media filters capture large dust and pollen, HEPA removes 99.97% of tiny particles, UV-C neutralizes bacteria and viruses, and electronic cleaners charge and trap smoke and VOCs. During a free in-home assessment we measure pollutant levels, review HVAC sizing, and discuss health concerns to recommend the best single device or layered approach for your specific needs and budget.
How often should I replace or clean my HVAC air filters in this climate?
In Lake City’s mix of seasonal allergens and winter heating, we advise checking standard 1-inch filters every 30 days and replacing them no later than 60–90 days. High-capacity 4- to 5-inch media filters usually last 6–12 months. If you have pets, smokers, recent remodeling dust, or family members with allergies, increase the inspection frequency. A dirty filter restricts airflow, raises energy bills, and forces your furnace or AC to work harder, shortening its life.
Can upgrading my home’s ventilation system really cut down on humidity and mold?
Yes. Tight modern construction traps moisture from cooking, showers, and everyday living. We install energy-recovery ventilators (ERVs) and heat-recovery ventilators (HRVs) that exhaust stale, moist air while bringing in fresh air and transferring heat energy, so you don’t waste conditioning dollars. Balanced ventilation reduces indoor relative humidity to the 30–50% sweet spot that discourages mold, mildew, and dust-mite growth without over-drying your home in winter.
Do your air quality solutions help with allergies and asthma?
Absolutely. High-MERV or HEPA filtration removes allergens such as ragweed, cedar, and grass pollens common in our region. UV lamps deactivate airborne mold spores and bacteria, while ERVs dilute indoor chemical off-gassing from cleaning products or new furnishings. Together, these measures can lower airborne triggers by up to 90%, providing noticeable relief for allergy and asthma sufferers within days of installation.
What maintenance or service plans do you offer to keep my air-quality equipment performing at its best?
We offer tiered Comfort Club plans that include twice-a-year HVAC tune-ups, filter changes, UV lamp bulb replacement, humidity calibration, and full ventilation system inspection. Members receive priority scheduling, 15% off repairs, and extended labor warranties. Routine professional service keeps filtration and ventilation components operating efficiently, protects manufacturer warranties, and ensures you enjoy clean, healthy air year-round.
