FAQs
Why is fresh air circulation important for my home or business in Sunbright?
Sunbright’s warm summers and mild, sometimes humid winters can trap stale air, moisture, and airborne pollutants indoors. Proper fresh-air circulation dilutes CO₂, odors, chemicals, and biological contaminants, helping occupants feel more alert and reducing the risk of respiratory irritation or mold growth. It also balances humidity, which protects wood furniture and building materials while making temperature control more comfortable and energy-efficient.
How does a modern HVAC system improve indoor air quality?
Today’s HVAC systems integrate variable-speed blowers, sealed ductwork, and MERV-rated filtration to capture dust, pollen, and pet dander as air moves through the system. Many units can be paired with UV-C lights or bipolar ionization modules that neutralize bacteria and viruses on coils and in airstreams. Smart controls allow continuous or scheduled fan operation to keep air moving through the filters even when heating or cooling is not required, ensuring cleaner air around the clock.
What ventilation options are available to reduce humidity and allergens?
For most Sunbright homes we recommend a balanced ventilation strategy such as an Energy Recovery Ventilator (ERV) or Heat Recovery Ventilator (HRV). These units bring in filtered outdoor air while exhausting stale indoor air and transferring heat and— in the case of ERVs— moisture energy between the two streams. Bathroom and kitchen exhaust fans with quiet, high-efficiency motors remove localized moisture and odors. Whole-home dehumidifiers can be tied into the ductwork to maintain 40-50 % relative humidity, a level that discourages dust mites, mold, and mildew.
How often should I schedule maintenance for my ventilation and air quality equipment?
We advise two inspections per year— typically spring and fall— to coincide with heating and cooling switch-overs. A technician will clean or replace filters, vacuum blower compartments, sanitize condensate pans, inspect ductwork for leaks, and verify that ERV/HRV cores and dampers operate smoothly. Homeowners should check return-air filters monthly and replace them at least every 90 days, or more often if there are pets or allergy sufferers in the house.
Will installing an energy recovery ventilator (ERV) increase my utility bills?
An ERV actually helps control energy costs. By transferring up to 70–80 % of the heat and moisture between incoming and outgoing air streams, it reduces the load on your air conditioner in summer and your furnace in winter. The small, efficient ECM fan motors inside an ERV typically add only a few dollars per month to your electricity use, and many homeowners see overall savings thanks to reduced run-time of the main HVAC equipment.
Can you integrate air purification technologies with my existing HVAC system?
Yes. In most cases we can retrofit high-efficiency media filters, activated-carbon modules for odor control, UV-C germicidal lamps, or needle-point bipolar ionization devices into your current ductwork. Our Sunbright technicians perform a static-pressure calculation first to ensure the blower can handle any added resistance. If adjustments are needed, we can upgrade the fan motor or add a bypass to protect system efficiency while still delivering enhanced air quality.
