Ventilation Systems

Inadequate airflow can promote air contamination and Boost your HVAC with a dedicated ventilation system.

Germicidal UV Lights

Some airborne particles are too small for filters to catch, like viruses, mold and bacteria. Adding a germicidal UV light in your ductwork kills or sterilizes these microbes.

Air Filtration Systems

The tight seal that keeps in your heating and cooling also traps contaminants within your indoor air. Try an energy-efficient air filtration system to remove allergens and more.

Frequently Asked Questions

There’s often a simpler solution to your comfort problem. Maybe you can find the answer you’re looking for in our FAQ below!
  • Indoor air quality refers to pollution in your Longmont home or business. The concentration of airborne pollutants can be 2–5 times greater than outdoors. Considering that most people spend 90% of their time inside and breathe roughly 3,000 gallons of air daily (according to the American Lung Association), this can eventually lead to problems.

    Depending on your specific air quality challenges, solutions include:

    • Air filtration systems capable of trapping 99.97% of particles
    • Germicidal UV lights to sterilize microbes like bacteria and mold
    • Whole-house humidifiers and dehumidifiers that balance moisture levels
    • Ventilation systems to keep air refreshed and flowing smoothly
  • Some of the most prevalent sources of pollutants include Volatile Organic Chemicals (VOCs) such as cleaning or personal care products, fuel-burning utilities and appliances, and particulate matter like dust, pollen and smoke.

  • Absolutely. Pollutants and particulate matter can expose you to illnesses and worsen respiratory conditions, especially for children and the elderly. For certain contaminants like carbon monoxide gas, the effects may even be fatal.

  • Resolving indoor air quality concerns can result in a host of benefits to your health and well-being, such as:

    • Lessened risk of illness
    • Fewer or less-intense asthma/allergy symptoms
    • Relieve sinus irritation or sore throats
    • Healthier, moisturized skin
  • If you find yourself cleaning every day or coughing constantly, your indoor air may not be as healthy as you would think. Based on EPA studies, indoor pollutants can reach concentrations as much as 100 times higher than the air outdoors. You can figure out your indoor air quality by scheduling a Home Health® Report consultation with Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning.

  • Each home has differing comfort needs, especially if someone in your Longmont home has allergies, asthma or a weak immune system. You may need a single product like an energy-efficient air filtration system, or multiple. Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning can assist you in finding the right combination of equipment.

  • No. HVAC air filters differ in quality and design, and some have exclusive features. We generally suggest using the filter your HVAC manufacturer recommends pairing with your system. All filters are assigned MERV ratings on a scale from 1–20. MERV stands for Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value and can make it easier to identify high-efficiency filters. For most residential needs, a MERV rating of 11 or lower will be sufficient.

  • The ideal schedule for cleaning or replacing your air filter depends on multiple factors, like the filter design and MERV rating as well as the current indoor air quality. For standard 1”-3” filters, most brands encourage replacement every 30-90 days. Pets, health conditions and even nearby pollution sources can lead to replacing the filter more often.

    • A 1″ pleated air filter must be replaced every 30-60 days.
    • A 2″ pleated air filter should be swapped out every 3 months.
    • A 3” pleated air filter should be changed every 120 days.
    • A 4″ pleated air filter should be exchanged every 6 months.
    • A 5” or 6″ pleated air filter ought to be replaced every 9-12 months.
  • If the issue is not your body’s hydration, very dry air can irritate your throat and sinuses. Consider buying a whole-home humidifier if you consistently struggle with a dry, itchy throat.

  • Your HVAC system extracts moisture as it runs, leading to situations where humidity levels fall out of balance. Portable humidifiers can resolve humidity concerns in a single room or small area, but a central humidifier assures balanced humidity throughout the entire building.

  • For most people, comfortable humidity levels are between 30-60%. These levels are particularly hard to maintain in the winter, as cold air does not hold onto moisture as well as warm air. What’s more, your furnace displaces moisture by generating hot, dry heat.

  • The smartest way to find an appropriate whole-house humidifier is multiplying the total square footage by the height of the ceiling. This will help determine how many gallons of water/H2O is required every hour to ensure balanced humidity.

    You should also consider your available budget, as a humidifier needs maintenance just like any other mechanical equipment.

  • While specific amounts depend on the model, whole-house humidifiers average between 1.5 to 12 gallons per day. As you can imagine, arid environments will use more water to keep humidity in check.

  • Routine preventive maintenance is often crucial for long-term equipment efficiency, and your humidifier is no different. The humidifier’s reservoir should be regularly drained and cleaned to prevent mold.

  • Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless and tasteless gas produced by partial fuel combustionwhich, in turn is frequently caused by limited access to oxygen. Appliances relying on natural gas, charcoal, wood or kerosene are common sources of CO gas, especially if they are not running correctly or have been installed incorrectly. CO is poisonous to the body and is lethal at high levels or prolonged exposure.

  • Initial symptoms such as nausea and fatigue are often mistaken as a result of the flu. But CO gas exposure can advance, potentially leading to confusion, organ damage or even death. Other symptoms include:

    • Headaches
    • Dizziness
    • Chest pain
    • Vomiting
  • Yes. Removing carbon monoxide should be a priority because of the jeopardy it poses to your health and well-being. CO gas can be found in any Longmont home or commercial property, making effective ventilation and prevention practices universally beneficial.

  • Prevention is the best place to start. A few safety precautions to take include:

    • Don’t let your car idle in the garage. Cars are a significant source of carbon monoxide poisoning, so do not leave yours going in the unventilated space of a closed garage. The same is true for gas equipment such as lawn mowers or snowmobiles.
    • Don’t use ovens or grills as sources of heat. These appliances are safe when used right but can make carbon monoxide when used for an extended period in small spaces.
    • Never operate a gas generator indoors. The fumes will have a much harder time dissipating.
    • Have your chimney inspected by a specialist. This ensures chimneys and vents aren’t blocked and are connected appropriately.
    • Confirm gas appliances are operating correctly, in particular your heater. You can ensure efficient, safe operation by booking routine furnace maintenance with Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning.

    If carbon monoxide has been detected, you should immediately vacate the building and alert the fire department and utility provider. If a leak is discovered, you should then contact a dependable HVAC company for repairs.

  • If an air freshener isn’t doing the trick, there may be microbes or contaminants nearby producing the unpleasant odor. Bacteria and mold are common sources, but they can be solved with the sanitation properties of a germicidal UV light. They are particularly effective against odor-producing microorganisms.
