Here in Georgia, we experience some incredibly hot and humid weather. Thankfully, you have an air conditioner that keeps your home cool and comfortable. It’s no secret that the way to keep that highly prized conditioned air inside is to keep your doors and windows shut when the AC is going.
However, by doing just that, your home’s indoor air quality can suffer. You’ve undoubtedly experienced the staleness of conditioned air and might be tempted to open a door or window to let some fresh air in. How can you enjoy optimal home comfort when you can’t open a window in the heat of summer at the risk of paying more for energy? This is why regular duct testing for air leaks is just as important as proper ventilation.
This is where heat and energy recovery ventilators can really make a difference. Read on to learn how these systems can invigorate and freshen up your home’s indoor air on the hottest days of the year without running the risk of a huge utility bill. Then give us a call to schedule your HVAC installation.
What’s the difference between an HRV and an ERV, and when should each be installed?
- HRV (Heat Recovery Ventilator): Transfers heat between outgoing and incoming air, providing fresh air while retaining warmth. Best for cold, dry climates with long heating seasons.
- ERV (Energy Recovery Ventilator): Transfers both heat and moisture, maintaining indoor humidity balance. Ideal for humid or warm climates with heavy cooling needs.
- Installation Tip: HRVs and ERVs are often added during HVAC installation to boost energy efficiency and indoor air quality based on climate needs.
