When you picture indoor air quality, you might envision the fresh, clean spring air drifting through an open window and a comfortable home—a feeling you may wish for all year. Unfortunately, the weather in Magnolia makes this difficult during the harsher months. But do you have to give up this fresh air just because the weather isn’t cooperating? The answer is “no.” With good ventilation, your indoor air quality can be at its finest—regardless of what it’s like outside.
Ventilation is more than just opening a few windows or doors in your home. While it's definitely revitalizing on beautiful, mild days, it’s not something you can do just any day in Magnolia. The positive is that technological advances have allowed us to replicate the benefits of fresh spring air using your heating and cooling equipment.
By simply pulling in just the right amount of fresh, outdoor air, today’s ventilation systems provide you with the perks of standard ventilation like eliminating odors, chemicals and other contaminants from your indoor air. This process purges stale air from your home and generates nicer feeling air. It’s a great way to make your home’s air as comfortable as possible without wasting energy.
There are two types of ventilation systems available: Energy Recovery Ventilators (ERVs) and Heat Recovery Ventilators (HRVs). Because of the climate, it's recommended that homes in most of the United States and all of Canada to use HRVs. ERVs are used most heavily in the humid southern regions.
