FAQs
Why is indoor air quality (IAQ) important for homes and businesses in Petros?
Indoor air can be two to five times more polluted than outdoor air, especially in areas like Petros where buildings are tightly sealed for energy efficiency. Poor IAQ can aggravate allergies, asthma, and other respiratory issues, reduce sleep quality, and lower overall comfort. By improving IAQ with proper ventilation, filtration, and humidity control, you protect occupants’ health, extend HVAC equipment life, and often reduce energy costs.
What air quality solutions do you offer beyond standard heating and cooling?
In addition to installing and servicing furnaces, heat pumps, and air conditioners, we provide whole-home air purification systems (such as HEPA, activated carbon, and UV-C lights), energy-recovery ventilators (ERVs), humidifiers/dehumidifiers, and smart thermostats with IAQ monitoring. Each solution targets specific contaminants—particulates, odors, biological growth, or excess moisture—so we tailor a package that addresses your unique indoor environment.
How often should HVAC filters be changed to maintain good air quality?
For most Petros households, we recommend replacing 1-inch pleated filters every 60–90 days. Homes with pets, smokers, or residents with allergies should change filters monthly. High-efficiency media or HEPA filters may last 6–12 months but should be inspected quarterly. Regular filter changes keep airflow unobstructed, lower energy bills, and prevent pollutants from recirculating through the ductwork.
Do I really need a dedicated ventilation system if I already have an HVAC unit?
Yes. Traditional HVAC systems recirculate indoor air and are not designed to introduce measured amounts of fresh outdoor air or expel stale air. A balanced ventilation system—like an ERV or HRV—continuously exchanges indoor and outdoor air while recovering heat or cooling energy, which helps dilute indoor pollutants, control humidity, and maintain consistent comfort without a hefty utility penalty.
How can I tell if my ductwork needs cleaning or sealing?
Warning signs include visible dust puffs from supply vents, musty or moldy odors, uneven heating or cooling, and unexplained spikes in energy bills. A professional inspection can reveal accumulated debris, microbial growth, or air leaks. Cleaning removes contaminants; sealing prevents conditioned air from escaping and unfiltered air from entering, improving both IAQ and system efficiency.
Are air quality upgrades eligible for rebates or financing in Petros?
Yes. Many utility companies and state programs in Tennessee offer incentives for high-efficiency HVAC equipment, smart thermostats, ERVs/HRVs, and advanced filtration systems. We stay current on available rebates and can help you file paperwork. We also provide flexible financing options with low monthly payments, making it easier to invest in healthier air without straining your budget.
