"Awesome service! Friendly folk, on time with arrival, quick assessments, informative options and completed job in timely manner. Highly recommend."
Modern house construction techniques result in impressively tight building envelopes. A tight envelope is advantageous for energy efficiency and consistent heating and cooling. The potential downside is that there isn’t much natural ventilation that occurs. That means your home may be prone to stale air, persistent odors, and even high pollution concentration levels.
The solution to this problem is a whole-house mechanical ventilation system. The problem with a traditional whole-house fan is that it’s impractical in the winter and summer. Running it would let the home’s heating or cooling escape. The modern alternatives are heat recovery ventilators (HRVs) and energy recovery ventilators (ERVs). An HRV can move heat energy in order to preheat the incoming fresh air in winter and precool it in summer.
An ERV system has the added capability to add and remove moisture from the incoming air. In the winter, it can add moisture to the air to offset the drying-out effect from a forced-air, fuel-fired furnace. During the summer, it can remove moisture from the air. This helps avoid the constant influx of fresh air, which can undermine air conditioner efficiency by raising the relative humidity.
An ERV can delay how soon into the summer you need to run your AC. Likewise, it can delay how soon into the winter you need to run your heating. Once summer and winter fully arrive, you can continue to use the ERV without a negative effect on energy efficiency. In fact, it will actually improve HVAC efficiency. It can also improve the efficiency of a whole-house humidifier and/or whole-house dehumidifier.
Our team will perform custom calculations to determine the ideal ERV size for your home in cubic feet per minute. We’ll generally recommend integrating your ERV system with a smart thermostat. That way, you can take advantage of scheduling, energy monitoring, and other advanced features. If your existing thermostat supports ERVs, we can configure it to work with your new system. If not, we’ll generally recommend upgrading to a thermostat that supports ERVs as well.
There are many potential benefits to an ERV system for home use.
Enhanced humidity control
Improved indoor air quality
Reduced heating and cooling bills
Smaller household carbon footprint
Rebates and other energy incentives
