Indoor Air Ventilation
Because homes have been built to be more energy efficient resulting in less fresh air from the outside entering the home, air quality can decrease and become stale.
Fresh, clean air can greatly improve the air quality in your home, specifically improving odours caused by pets, cooking odours, and off-gassing of household furnishings, like carpets and furniture.
The Honeywell Whole-House Ventilation System can provide fresh air to your home while managing your energy costs and comfort, no matter what the elements are like outside or inside.
Ventilator Types
HRV (Heat Recovery Ventilator)
A Heat Recovery Ventilator (HRV) works by bringing cool, fresh air into your home, while expelling dry, stale air. This is particularly helpful during the winter months when dry, stale air can continuously circulate inside your home. The heat from the stale indoor air is transferred to the fresh, outdoor air brought in by the HRV, maintaining the comfort and freshness you need year-round.
It‘s like opening a window to allow fresh air into your home without affecting your indoor comfort.
ERV (Energy Recovery Ventilator)
The Energy Recovery Ventilator (ERV) functions similar to an HRV, but it also helps to manage humidity levels in your home.
During the summer months, the ERV ventilation system helps to remove excessive humidity brought in from outdoors, so the air will be fresh and comfortable — no matter what the temperature or humidity is outside.
During the winter, when your home can feel dry due to a lack of humidity, an ERV will help keep humidity in your home, so your humidifier doesn‘t work overtime and you don‘t suffer the effects of winter dryness.
