FAQs
Why is indoor air quality so important for homes in Signal Mountain?
Because Signal Mountain sits on the Cumberland Plateau, pollen, mold spores, and seasonal humidity can easily become trapped inside tightly sealed homes. Poor indoor air quality (IAQ) can aggravate asthma and allergies, cause lingering odors, and strain your HVAC equipment. By monitoring and improving IAQ, you protect your family’s health, help your heating-and-cooling system run more efficiently, and preserve the value of your home.
What ventilation and purification options do you install or service?
We match solutions to each home, including whole-house mechanical ventilation systems, energy-recovery ventilators (ERVs), HEPA filtration, media air cleaners, UV-C germicidal lamps, and portable or duct-mounted dehumidifiers and humidifiers. All products are sized for your square footage and ductwork to ensure balanced airflow and optimum contaminant removal.
How do I know if I should schedule an indoor air quality assessment?
If you notice persistent dust, stale odors, excessive humidity/condensation on windows, frequent allergy symptoms, or musty smells from vents, it’s time for a professional IAQ check. We use particle counters, humidity gauges, and infrared cameras to pinpoint issues in about 60–90 minutes, then provide a written report with recommended fixes.
Do you provide duct cleaning and sealing, and how often is it needed?
Yes. Our technicians follow NADCA guidelines for source-removal duct cleaning and Aerosol-based or mastic sealing. Most Signal Mountain homes benefit from cleaning every 5–7 years, but households with pets, recent renovations, or allergy sufferers may need it sooner. Properly sealed ducts can cut air leakage by up to 30 %, reducing energy waste and keeping pollutants out of your living space.
Will upgrading my home’s air-quality equipment lower energy bills?
In many cases, yes. Balanced ventilation prevents your HVAC system from over-cycling, and sealed ducts stop conditioned air from escaping. An ERV can recover up to 70 % of heat or cooling that would otherwise be lost during air exchanges, while maintaining healthy fresh-air levels. Most homeowners see 5-15 % utility savings after IAQ improvements, along with better comfort.
Are there local rebates or incentives for ventilation and IAQ upgrades?
Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) often offers rebates for high-efficiency HVAC add-ons, including ERVs, smart thermostats, and ENERGY STAR-certified air cleaners. We stay current with TVA programs and Chattanooga-area utility incentives and will help you file the paperwork. Many products also qualify for the federal 25C energy-efficiency tax credit, which currently covers 30 % of installed costs, up to $600 for air cleaners and $2,000 for heat-pump-based systems.
