FAQs
Why is good ventilation and indoor air quality (IAQ) especially important for homes in New Tazewell?
East Tennessee’s mix of hot, humid summers and cool, damp winters keeps windows closed most of the year, so pollutants, moisture, and allergens can quickly build up indoors. Proper ventilation and IAQ products remove stale, contaminated air and bring in fresh, filtered outdoor air, protecting your family from mold, dust, pollen, and the respiratory problems they can cause.
What IAQ solutions do you install or service in the New Tazewell area?
Breath of Fresh Heating & Air offers whole-house ventilators (ERVs and HRVs), high-efficiency air cleaners, media and HEPA filtration, UV-C germicidal lights, humidifiers and dehumidifiers, and duct sealing services. We size and install new systems, retrofit existing HVAC setups, and provide annual maintenance to keep every component operating safely and efficiently.
How often should I replace or clean my HVAC air filter?
In most New Tazewell homes, a standard 1-inch filter should be replaced every 30–60 days. Thicker 4- to 5-inch media filters can last 3 –6 months. If you have pets, allergies, or run your system constantly in peak summer or winter, check the filter more often. A clogged filter restricts airflow, increases energy bills, and strains your blower motor.
Can a whole-house dehumidifier really make my home feel cooler in summer?
Yes. High humidity makes the air feel warmer than it actually is, forcing your AC to work harder. A whole-house dehumidifier pulls excess moisture from the airstream before it circulates through your ducts, so you can raise the thermostat 2–3°F and still feel comfortable. Lower humidity also discourages mold and dust-mite growth.
What are signs my ventilation system needs professional attention?
Persistent musty odors, visible mold near vents, condensation on windows, high utility bills, or uneven temperatures between rooms are common red flags. If anyone in your household experiences frequent allergy or asthma flare-ups, it may point to poor filtration or inadequate fresh-air exchange. Schedule an inspection to pinpoint and correct the problem.
How much does an IAQ or ventilation upgrade typically cost in New Tazewell?
Pricing depends on the size of your home and the equipment selected. Media air cleaners start around $300–$450 installed. Whole-house ERV/HRV ventilation systems range from $2,000 to $4,500, while UV lights average $400–$700 per lamp. We provide free, no-obligation estimates and can bundle IAQ upgrades with new HVAC installations or financing for affordable monthly payments.
