Indoor Air Quality FAQs

How much does Duct Cleaning Services Cost?

The cost of duct cleaning depends on a few factors like the size of the home, number of vents, and how accessible the system is. What we can guarantee is that we always provide upfront pricing after a quick site assessment, and we make sure there are no surprise fees.

How Long Does a Duct Cleaning Take?

It depends on the number of ducts, complexity of ductwork, and size of your home, but most experts figure an average of two to four hours for normal size jobs.

Should I Install a Whole-Home Humidifier?

Now might be a GREAT time to consider a whole house humidifier (or get your existing humidifier serviced) if you’re experiencing any of the following with your indoor air quality:

Running the furnace dries out you, your home, and everything in it.
Asthma symptoms, colds, allergies, dry and peeling skin, scratchy throats, and even nose bleeds have flared up.
New cracks are appearing in your walls, floors, and furniture.
The caulking around your doors, windows, and woodwork is failing.
Wallpaper is curling and peeling.
There’s a chill in the air even with the thermostat cranked up.
Static electricity zaps you at every turn.

These are typical “side effects” associated with winter weather but the cause could also be as simple as lack of humidity in your home!

How Does a Humidifier Help?

Heating the air naturally lowers its humidity. When you run your furnace or heat pump (which we do almost constantly during the cold winter months), any moisture in your home quickly dries up. You can actually see and feel this difference. Dry air makes it harder to stay warm and can wreak havoc on your skin, mucous membranes, and even your household items!

Humidifiers are the key to replenishing moisture levels as they get too low. This alone can eliminate a lot of typical “wintertime” problems and help keep your family healthy all season long.

Should I Install a Whole Home Dehumidifier?

Think about when people complain the most about our Atlanta heat. It’s usually on days with higher humidity. Humidity increases the heat index making it feel hotter than the actual temperature reading on the thermometer. It’s time to consider a whole house dehumidifier to help improve your indoor air quality and improve your home’s HVAC system efficiency.

If your air-conditioning is set at a comfortable temperature but you still feel hot or “sticky” it may be because of excess moisture in your home. That’s right, moisture. It’s not something we think about until it gets too low or too high and we become uncomfortable.

Ever wonder how dry sauna users enjoy temperatures between 160-180°F, while steam rooms (with 100 percent humidity) are generally set no higher than 110°F? Without moisture, heat is not as “hot.”

The same is true in our homes. Humidity makes heat less bearable. The more air-tight and insulated your home is, the more you need a whole-house dehumidifier because excess humidity created by normal everyday activities (cooking, showering, breathing) can’t escape.

Aside from feeling comfortable, several sure signs your home could benefit from a whole house dehumidifier are:

Too much moisture (condensation on the windows, home feels muggy, and uncomfortable)
Organic growth
Musty house smell
Dust mites
Aggravated allergies and upper-respiratory issues (from air-born bacteria)
Stains or water damage on ceilings
Rotting woodwork (especially around windows where condensation collects)
Basement or crawlspace feels wet
Reducing or eliminating these common aggravations are some of the many benefits of a whole-house dehumidifier.

What are UV Lights?

Did you know there are UV air-purifying systems silently working behind the scenes in the HVAC systems of many Atlanta homes and businesses? And even the most discerning noses can’t detect them unless they’re just noticing clean air and relief to their lungs!

That’s because, unlike air fresheners that claim to kill air-borne bacteria and kill off your sense of smell while they’re at it, these systems use UV (ultraviolet) light and are 100 percent chemical-free!

Seem high-tech? UV lights were first discovered in the late 1800s and innovators in science, food, and medicine have been perfecting them ever since. They’ve been used to treat disease, purify water, kill surface germs, sterilize operating rooms and equipment, and even (this one might surprise you) cure nail polish more quickly in your local nail salon. UV lights are also commonly found in bug zappers, tanning beds, and dental equipment.

How Long Do UV Lights Last?

While a UV light fixture can last indefinitely, the bulbs typically need to be changed out once a year. So, if you haven’t thought about your UV light in a while (or didn’t know you had one), chances are it’s no longer doing its job. If you noticed a decrease in air-quality but couldn’t put a finger on what it was exactly, this might be your explanation.
