First Things First—What Is It?

One of the primary causes of subpar indoor air quality is a lack of sufficient ventilation. It would be unreasonable to expect homeowners to crack their windows in order to allow fresh air in when they are also running their heaters in the winter or their air conditioners in the summer. So how does one solve this problem? Well, with an HRV in Paramus, NJ!

A heat recovery ventilator is a mechanical ventilation device—it blows old, stale air out of the home and brings fresh, high–quality air in. However, it also acts as a heat transfer device, which helps it to maintain great indoor air quality without wasting the energy that you’ve used in order to either heat or cool that outgoing air. It uses some electricity, but allows for great savings in the ventilation process.

Why Transfer Heat? And How?

During the summer, when you are running your AC a lot, the air in your home can really dry out. And in the winter, when you are running your heater with the house all sealed up, that recirculated air is going to degrade in quality over time. Bringing fresh air in while transferring heat between the incoming and outgoing air streams allows you to freshen up the air without wasting the energy that you’ve already used.

In the winter, the incoming air is heated up by the outgoing air that is heated, but also of low quality. In the summer, you bring in fresh, hot air, and the outgoing stream of cool air absorbs its heat as it enters the system. This takes some of the strain off of your HVAC systems, helping you to cut back on costs as you ventilate your home for improved IAQ.
