FAQs
Why is indoor air quality (IAQ) important for homes and businesses in Norris?
Poor IAQ can aggravate allergies, asthma, and other respiratory conditions while also reducing overall comfort and energy efficiency. Norris’s seasonal humidity and pollen levels make proper ventilation and filtration critical to maintaining a healthy environment year-round.
What types of ventilation systems do you recommend for improving air quality?
We evaluate each property’s layout and needs, then recommend solutions such as energy-recovery ventilators (ERVs), heat-recovery ventilators (HRVs), whole-house exhaust systems, or balanced fresh-air intakes. These options provide continuous airflow, reduce humidity, and capture heat energy to keep utility bills in check.
How often should air ducts be cleaned or inspected?
In most Norris homes, a professional duct inspection every 2–3 years is sufficient. However, if you notice excessive dust, musty odors, recent renovations, or pest activity, schedule a cleaning sooner. Clean ducts help your HVAC system run more efficiently and prevent contaminants from circulating indoors.
Can upgrading my HVAC filter really make a difference in air quality?
Absolutely. Standard 1-inch fiberglass filters trap only large debris. Upgrading to a pleated MERV-11 or higher filter, or installing a media cabinet or HEPA filtration unit, removes fine particulates, pet dander, and many airborne pathogens without significantly restricting airflow when sized correctly.
Do smart thermostats help with ventilation and IAQ?
Yes. Many smart thermostats integrate ventilation controls, humidity monitoring, and filter-change reminders. When paired with compatible HVAC equipment, they can automatically trigger fresh-air intake or dehumidification cycles to maintain ideal indoor conditions while optimizing energy usage.
What maintenance steps can I take between professional service visits?
1) Replace or wash HVAC filters every 30–90 days. 2) Keep supply and return vents clear of furniture and dust. 3) Use kitchen and bathroom exhaust fans to remove moisture and odors. 4) Monitor indoor humidity with a hygrometer; aim for 40–50%. 5) Schedule seasonal HVAC tune-ups to ensure proper airflow and system performance.
