FAQs
Why is whole-home ventilation especially important for homes in Harrison?
Harrison experiences humid summers and chilly winters, so homes are usually sealed tightly to keep conditioned air inside. While that helps energy efficiency, it also traps moisture, pollen, pet dander, and airborne pollutants. A balanced whole-home ventilation system continuously exchanges stale indoor air with fresh, filtered outdoor air, preventing mold growth, reducing odors, and maintaining healthy humidity levels without sacrificing comfort or efficiency.
What types of residential ventilation systems do you install and how do they work?
We offer three main options: 1. Spot ventilation (bathroom and kitchen fans) – removes localized moisture and odors. 2. Heat Recovery Ventilators (HRVs) – ideal for colder climates; they pull in fresh air while capturing heat from outgoing air to warm the incoming stream. 3. Energy Recovery Ventilators (ERVs) – perfect for Harrison’s mix of hot, humid and cold seasons; they transfer both heat and humidity between outgoing and incoming air, keeping the home comfortable year-round while easing the load on your HVAC system.
Will installing an HRV or ERV raise my energy bills?
No—properly sized HRVs and ERVs usually lower overall energy costs. They reclaim up to 80% of the heat (HRV) or heat and moisture (ERV) from exhausted air, so your furnace and air conditioner run less often. Many homeowners in Harrison see a 5–15% reduction in heating and cooling expenses, along with improved indoor air quality.
How do ventilation systems improve indoor air quality beyond just bringing in fresh air?
Our systems include high-efficiency MERV 8–13 filters that capture fine dust, pollen, and other allergens. The constant, gentle air exchange also dilutes volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from cleaning products, paints, and furnishings. Optional UV-C lights can be added to neutralize bacteria, viruses, and mold spores as air passes through the ventilation unit.
What maintenance does a whole-home ventilation system require?
1. Replace or clean filters every 3–6 months, depending on household pets, renovation work, or allergy concerns. 2. Inspect the core of HRVs/ERVs annually for dust buildup and wash it with mild soap. 3. Check outdoor intake/exhaust grilles each spring and fall to remove leaves, snow, or debris. 4. Have a professional tune-up every 12 months to verify airflow settings, damper operation, and electrical connections.
Can the ventilation system be integrated with my existing HVAC and smart thermostat?
Absolutely. We tie HRVs/ERVs into your home’s ductwork so fresh air is delivered evenly through existing supply vents. Most units include low-voltage terminals that connect to smart thermostats or home automation hubs. This lets you schedule ventilation cycles, adjust fan speeds remotely, and receive filter-change reminders on your phone, maximizing comfort and convenience without extra wall controls.
