Keeping Cool and Smart with an Energy Recovery Ventilator If you’ve chosen to live life in a warmer region, perhaps you’ve wondered if improving your indoor air ventilation is really energy efficient. After all, it’s costly keeping things cool. If you properly ventilate, you could allow some of that heat back in the house, making your HVAC system work overtime and impacting your energy bill. Well, you’ll be happy to know that you can have your triple-layer chocolate cake AND eat it too… with an energy recovery ventilator. In a lot of ways, it’s just like the Heat Recovery Ventilator: two fans drive the air in and out of your home, bringing fresh air in, while taking away stale air. But unlike the heat recovery ventilator, energy recovery ventilators move the heat back out of the house. Not only is the heat transferred, but water vapor is as well, removing a lot of incoming humidity. Now you’ve got controlled ventilation that has high energy efficiency. Energy recovery ventilators are perfect for warmer climates. They’re also great for newer or remodeled homes that tend to be more energy efficient, and therefore are sealed more tightly, leading to inadequate airflow. If you want to avoid pockets of stale and/or contaminated air, try an energy recovery ventilator for your Albany area home. Call D.A.
