Comprehensive HVAC Services by Steve Fontaine

HVAC systems start with the ventilation that brings fresh air into a building or home by taking in the cool air or heating that air, and blowing it into an indoor space.

Some systems may also include ventilation systems that direct air out of the house, humidifiers (or dehumidifiers) that adjust the air’s humidity, and air purifiers that filter out spores, bacteria, viruses, and other minuscule harmful particles.

Most HVAC units are controlled by a smart thermostat.

Each HVAC system varies depending on the heating and cooling needs of a home or building, where that home or building is located, its age, its existing ductwork, its heating and cooling needs, and other important factors. Regardless of what system you have, the cooling efficiency is always measured by the Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER).

Since energy efficiency is vital, you will want to shop for a unit with a high SEER rating of 20 or more, keeping in mind that the minimum rating is 13. To receive the U.S. government’s Energy Star certification, an air conditioner must have a SEER of at least 14.

Steve Fontaine, together with IAQ Solutions and Consulting Inc. specialists will review all of your HVAC needs within your environment and help you determine which unit is best for you.

Dr. John Kraemer endorses Stephen Fontaine and his expertise in indoor air quality management and policy development. Dr. Kraemer conducts extensive testing on stand-alone air purifiers with HEPA-13 filters and found them highly effective in removing airborne pathogens and allergens in the classroom, in-home environments, and transportation-related situations.

He commends Fontaine for his thorough knowledge of stand-alone HEPA-13 filtered air purifiers and his development of reliable solutions to difficult IAQ challenges.  Dr. Kraemer appreciates and values the positive leadership of Fontaine’s work on improving air quality for individuals with respiratory conditions such as asthma. Kraemer’s endorsement and recommendation of Fontaine’s indoor air quality advice illustrates the level of understanding Fontaine has exhibited of the CDC and EPA guidance for indoor air quality programs in schools and other densely populated buildings.
