FAQs

  • We start with an on‑site air audit: particulate counts, humidity readings, and CO₂/ VOC monitoring. Then we match the data (and any allergy concerns) to the right equipment or combination—always sized to your square footage and duct static pressure.

  • Yes. Media or HEPA cabinets mount in the return plenum, electronic air cleaners replace your current filter slot, and ERV/HRV units tie into supply and return ducts. No major remodeling required.

    • Air Purifiers: Replace media filters 1–2 times a year; wipe electronic cells every 3 months.

    • Humidifiers/Dehumidifiers: Clean canisters or evaporative pads annually; empty or inspect condensate lines.

    • ERV/HRV: Wash core and change filters twice a year, especially before winter and pollen season.
      Regular service preserves efficiency, air quality, and manufacturer warranties.

  • Many utilities offer $50–$300 rebates on ENERGY STAR dehumidifiers, ERVs, and high‑MERV filtration upgrades. Some IAQ equipment also qualifies under the federal Energy Efficient Home Improvement Tax Credit (up to $2,000). We’ll handle paperwork and provide documentation for your tax professional.
