Modern homeowners face a significant dilemma when it comes to HVAC efficiency. Put simply, the better you insulate and air-seal your home, the more efficient your HVAC system becomes. However, a tight air seal can eliminate necessary ventilation, leading to poor air quality. To solve the problem, turn to Southport Home Services for an energy recovery ventilator installation in Wauwatosa, WI. An ERV installation can help improve your home’s ventilation while minimizing energy waste.

Energy recovery ventilation (ERV) systems provide a way to bring in fresh air without wasting energy. An ERV system typically includes five components. They are ductwork, circulation fans, a heat exchanger, an air filter, and control circuitry. An ERV’s mode of operation is simple. It turns on its circulation fans, which draw in air from your home through the system’s ductwork. Simultaneously, it pulls in fresh outdoor air and passes it through the built-in air filter. The two air streams then pass through the heat exchanger. While that happens, the indoor and outdoor air temperatures and humidity equalize. The fresh air then enters your home while the stale indoor air exits.
A typical ERV can retain up to 80% of the heating and cooling energy used by your HVAC system. In exchange, it can expel airborne pollutants and help ensure you have fresh air to breathe year-round. Additionally, an ERV can help extend your HVAC’s lifespan by preventing excess demand created by traditional ventilation methods.
An ERV system for your home can come with the following great benefits:
Improved comfort
Consistent indoor humidity
Increased HVAC efficiency
Simple maintenance
It’s important to note that you only get the benefits above if you select the right ERV system for your home. Our HVAC experts can ensure that happens. They’ll begin by calculating your home’s precise ventilation needs. Most homes need approximately .35 air changes per hour to maintain high indoor air quality. By calculating your home’s total volume, we can determine how many cubic feet of air per minute your ERV must move. Our technicians can also investigate potential installation locations for your ERV. Selecting the right one will play a pivotal role in your system’s performance and your ERV installation costs.
