Fresh Air Ventilation

• As home improvements make doors, windows, ceilings, and walls more energy efficient and more air tight, the indoor air that we breath becomes contaminated with chemicals and carbon dioxide.
• Fresh air ventilation systems called ERVs or Energy Recovery Ventilators can be installed onto your existing home heating and air conditioning system or can be installed as a stand-alone system.
• They work by removing stale contaminated indoor air and replacing it with fresh, filtered outdoor air that has been cooled or heated. This in effect dilutes the contaminants inside your home making for a healthier breathing environment.
• As the stale indoor air is vented to the outside and fresh outdoor is vented into your home, the ERV will exchange indoor air temperatures into the unconditioned outdoor air. This saves on energy costs and improves the overall comfort of the incoming air.
• You do not need ductwork in your home in order to successfully install and ERV.
• ERVs come in many different sizes to handle many different home sizes and styles.
• Please contact our Design Consultant to determine which ERV system will best meet your needs.
• Berry Mechanical Services can conduct an indoor air quality test from Air Advice to determine if a fresh air system is right for you.
