ERV
If you want the very best indoor air quality, then consider an Energy Recovery Ventilator (ERV). It truly is a crucial component for homes and offices, and it can be very affordable as an out-of-pocket expense and in its ability to increase your units energy efficiency.
To explain it most simply, an ERV air exchanger cycles fresh, filtered outdoor air into your home without losing the comfortable temperatures your AC or furnace is producing or bringing in outdoor airborne pollutants.
ERV systems work by capturing the energy from your systems’ exhaust air and using the energy of the departing air to pre-condition incoming fresh clean air. By capturing this energy, it also reduces the load on heating and cooling systems, leading to significant energy savings and lower utility costs.
In addition, ERVs help maintain a healthy indoor environment by facilitating consistent air exchange, which dilutes and removes indoor pollutants. In buildings and homes where air tightness is increased for energy efficiency, ERVs are essential for ensuring that fresh air is supplied without compromising the building’s thermal performance. ERVs represent a smart investment in your well-being and environmental friendliness.

Improved Indoor Air Quality:
- ERVs introduce fresh outdoor air into your living or working space, reducing indoor pollutants. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) says indoor air can have 2-5 times the contaminants found in typical outside air.
- By exchanging heat and moisture between incoming and outgoing air streams, ERVs help maintain a healthier living environment.
- Combining an ERV with a high efficiency filtration system can help deliver the cleanest air in your home or business.
Energy Savings:
ERVs significantly improve energy efficiency by:
- Reducing the need for heating and cooling.
- Minimizing energy consumption for humidification or dehumidification.
- Lower energy bills are a direct result of ERV usage.
Longer System Lifespan:
- ERVs reduce the workload on your heating and cooling system.
- By balancing indoor air quality and temperature, ERVs contribute to the longevity of your HVAC equipment.
To sum it up, adding an ERV system can lead to better air quality, energy savings, and a more comfortable living or working environment!
