When it comes to complete home comfort and indoor air quality, there aren’t many things like breathing in fresh, clean air throughout the year. Of course, the climate in Huffman may not make that seem possible during hot and cold months, but there is an often-forgotten aspect of indoor air quality that gets unnoticed: ventilation.
When most people think about ventilation, they typically think about opening a few windows throughout their home or using their screen doors. While this is still ordinary, it’s not realistic year-round in Huffman. That’s where we can be thankful for the improvements in technology that have left us with heating and cooling equipment that produces the same effects as having your windows or doors cracked open for ventilation.
Today’s ventilation systems operate by drawing just the right amount of fresh air from the outside, providing you with the perks of traditional ventilation while getting rid of odors, chemicals, and other pollutants from your home’s indoor air. The process not only means you have a nicer feeling of air, but it also eliminates stale air from your home, helping make your home’s air as comfortable as it can be without wasting energy.
Selecting a ventilation system is relatively easy as there are two sorts of systems used: Energy Recovery Ventilators (ERVs) and Heat Recovery Ventilators (HRVs). Most of the United States, and all of Canada, are recommended to use HRVs due to the climates in those areas. ERVs are almost exclusive to southern regions that have higher than normal humidity levels.
Ventilation is just the beginning of things when discussing indoor air quality.
