Stainless Steel Energy Recovery Ventilator System Services

When a home has an ERV � the most common type of balanced ventilation system for warm, humid climates � clean air doesn�t push dirtier air out of the home. Instead, the equipment mechanically introduces and removes air from the home at the same time. We call this �balanced� ventilation because equal amounts of air are exchanged by the ERV. For many years, ERVs have been a mainstay of high performance, energy efficient homes. Those homes are built �tight,� so they don�t allow a lot of air to enter or escape. A tight home is good for your energy bills, but it�s almost impossible to ventilate without a mechanical system for getting old air out and bringing new air in. An ERV solves that problem. It sucks the indoor air outside while also pushing outdoor air inside, filtering it along the way. The diagram below demonstrates how this works. The red arrows represent �old� air being pulled from the house. The blue arrows represent the fresh, incoming air. An ERV solves that problem.
