The weather in my section requires running either the boiler or the a/c the majority of the time, and due to the extreme outdoor conditions, my family is kept inside for most of the year. Because of the cost of heating plus cooling, it’s pressing to seal up the house plus prevent energy waste. The lack of ventilation can create lots of troubles with humidity, stinks plus overall indoor air quality. I looked into a variety of occasions to improve the comfort, cleanliness plus health of the house plus decided on a heat recovery ventilator or HRV. The equipment works to replace stale air with fresh air all year round. It consists of two ventilation ducts, with one carrying fresh air into the house plus the other transporting the polluted air out. During the winter, the sizzling air leaving the house gives up its heat as it passes through the heat exchanger. The incoming air coming in through the opposite duct absorbs this heat as it flows into the home, helping to reduce demands on the boiler. By capturing plus recycling heat, it improves comfort plus trims heating bills. In the Summer months, the process switches so that the hot, outdoor air loses its heat on the way inside, lowering the home’s temperature plus minimizing the workload of the a/c. It focuses on reducing humidity, combating condensation, mold growth plus that sticky feeling. By regularly refreshing the air, the HRV reduces allergens! Contaminants such as dust, dander plus VOCs are expelled outdoors. The HRV system is designed to operate continuously without using much energy or making much noise.
