Energy Recovery Ventilator - What does it do & When do I need it?

ERV stands for Energy Recovery Ventilator & is regularly referred to as an air exchanger & an ERV ventilation system. They are designed to be connected into the HVAC system in your home, office, or any other building. They pull fresh, clean air into the building & take out stale/unclean air.

They consist of two fans & a heat exchanger that makes it possible to transfer heat & moisture between the two air streams. It transfers the heat & moisture for the building to retain heat while in operation, which is obviously quite important during the winter months. As well as swapping out “dirty” air for clean, ERVs also trap pollutants, contaminants, pollen, allergens & many more. This is extremely important especially now, & it ensures that the air entering the home, office, & indoor space is healthy & clean.

You may not know that the air within most homes is at least five times more contaminated than the air outside! This is a problem as people can spend more than 90% of their time indoors. This is why it is a smart idea to incorporate an air exchanger like an ERV into your home or office space, to get the fresh, clean, & healthy air that everyone deserves.  For more information click on Broan Energy Recovery Ventilator (ERV).
