The “V” in HVAC is short for ventilation, and most homes need more of it. Although every house has basic mechanical ventilation, range hood vents and bathroom exhaust fans only take air out. They don’t replace it.
With an energy recovery ventilator installation in Wausau, WI, you can enhance your home’s basic ventilation and enjoy tremendous benefits. Energy recovery ventilators (ERVs) move stagnant, contaminated air outside and bring in fresh outdoor air. They also recover lost energy.
With an ERV installation, you can create a healthier, far more efficient home. Southport Home Services is the company to call when you want an ERV system for home use.
"Awesome service! Friendly folk, on time with arrival, quick assessments, informative options and completed job in timely manner. Highly recommend."
Energy recovery ventilators seamlessly support HVAC systems throughout the year. When exchanging stale, indoor air for outside air, they provide heating, cooling, and humidity control.
In winter, an ERV system for home use pre-heats and humidifies cold, dry outdoor air before it enters your home. In summer, it cools and dehumidifies the outside air it brings in. These activities reduce the HVAC system’s workload. In addition to providing energy savings, ERVs also reduce wear on heating and cooling systems.
Much of the energy that an ERV system uses for heating, cooling, and humidity control comes from HVAC exhaust. An ERV system for home use can recover up to 80% of the energy lost in HVAC exhaust. This places ERV installation among the most efficient indoor air quality (IAQ) improvements currently available.
With energy recovery ventilator installation, you’ll enjoy many benefits.
Reduced condensation on windows and walls
Longer HVAC air filter lifespans
Fewer stress-related HVAC repairs
Reduced risk of negative air pressure
Dramatically improved IAQ
For years, Wausau residents have been tightly sealing their homes to prevent the loss of conditioned air. Unfortunately, tightening your home’s envelope doesn’t just trap heated and cooled air inside. It also traps airborne particulates, germs, and chemical contaminants. With an ERV system for home use, you can clear these things out while still saving energy.
Ultra-tight home envelopes can prove especially problematic for households that rely on gas-fired furnaces or water heaters. When bathroom exhaust fans and range hood vents extract air without replenishing it, they might create negative air pressure. Negative air pressure makes interior doors slam closed and exterior doors difficult to open. It causes phantom whistling noises and cold air drafts. Worse still, negative air pressure can pull carbon monoxide and other dangerous emissions back into living spaces. This is backdrafting. If you often have negative air pressure in your home, ERV installation can prevent backdrafting.
Energy recovery ventilator installation can help you enjoy healthier and fresher-smelling indoor air. It can also extend the lifespan of your HVAC equipment and significantly lower your heating and cooling costs.
