What is an HRV or ERV?
Heat recovery ventilators and energy recovery ventilators are whole-house ventilation devices that help ventilate fresh air in your home while reducing energy loss. If you live in a new home, builders constructed your home with tight seals to reduce net energy loss and limit the amount of pollutants able to enter your home. While this is great, it’s also a detriment because it limits the amount of fresh air able to enter your home too. This is where HRV and ERV system can aid you.
Many new homes require some level of mechanical ventilation to maintain high indoor air quality. HRVs and ERVs pre-cool or pre-heat your home’s air supply depending on the season and run fresh air through a current of your indoor air inside your system’s heat exchanger.
Why You Need an HRV or ERV System
Your HRV or ERV system will improve your indoor air quality while reducing the amount of strain on your heating or cooling system. In fact, HRVs and ERVs recover around 70% to 80% of the energy in the air and deliver this energy to your incoming air. They really help boost your energy efficiency rates during our hot muggy, summers here in Georgia.
These systems integrate directly into your HVAC system and bring in fresh air when you need it. In the winter, these systems pre-heat your air and in the summer, they pre-cool your air. An HRV or ERV system adds a boost to your home’s indoor air quality almost instantly.
Choosing Between an HRV or ERV System
These systems are pretty similar, but the main difference is that ERV systems regulate moisture in addition to ventilating your air. One isn’t better than the other; which system you choose solely depends on your particular needs. Most people opt for ERVs here in Winder, GA because of our humid conditions throughout the hotter months—HRVs are much better in colder climates. HRV systems don’t transfer moisture at all but ERVs do throughout the counter-flow heat exchange. An ERV system will balance the level of moisture in your home.
No matter what system you choose, our staff here at American Comfort Heating and Cooling will provide you with the best installation, replacement, repair, and maintenance services.
