Ventilation Solutions


As homes are built tighter to conserve energy, natural air exchanges are substantially reduced, which changes the way homes respond to excess air contaminants and moisture.

Signs That a House Needs Ventilation

  • Overly humid
  • Can still smell breakfast in the afternoon

Energy and Heat Recovery Ventilation (ERV and HRV) systems function with existing HVAC equipment or can function as a stand-alone system. They provide fresh replacement air while recovering while recovering much of the exhausted air’s sensible heat (up to 70%).

The system draws outdoor air through the ventilator for distribution throughout the house. Stale air is exhausted outside through the ventilator.

ERV systems provide the added benefit of reducing the amount of humidity from the incoming air making ERV’s a great choice for humid southern climates.

While air cleaners, ventilation, and UV treatment systems keep indoor air clean, proper humidification is need to control relative humidity (RH) levels in the home, minimizing unhealthy airborne pollutants. Too little humidity leaves the body vulnerable to infections, and can cause damage to the home’s wood furnishings.

Signs That a Home Needs Humidification

  • Cracking trim
  • Dry eyes in the morning
  • Static electricity
