Pasadena Energy Recovery Ventilators
What Is an Energy Recovery Ventilator (ERV)?
An ERV is a highly advantageous addition to any heating or cooling unit. It is a mechanical ventilation system that brings fresh air into buildings while exhausting stale indoor air. But that is not all. It also moves moisture and heat, which is the primary way it improves energy efficiency and minimizes strain on heating and cooling systems.
How ERVs Work
Before explaining how they work, let us describe the configuration of an ERV. It is a box that features parallel pipes with fans on opposing ends. One fan draws fresh outdoor air inside, as the other exhausts indoor air. The two pipes pass through a transfer core made of permeable materials.
With that out of the way, here is a brief description of how ERVs operate in warmer months:
Benefits of Installing an ERV
As detailed above, an ERV can limit the work required for your heating and cooling units to maintain a comfortable temperature. This can lower your utility bills and maintenance costs, as well as the likelihood of a premature unit breakdown. The benefits of an ERV do not end there.
They also include the following:
- Fresher air: By constantly bringing in fresh air and expelling air contaminated with debris, bacteria, volatile organic compounds, and other nasty things, you can breathe easier with an ERV.
- Advanced filtration: Many ERVs have advanced filtration systems that add to the energy efficiency advantages they already offer.
- Reduced odors: ERVs help remove stale air from your home, which can eliminate unpleasant odors that tend to linger. This is especially beneficial for homes with pets or smokers.
- Better comfort: Maintaining proper humidity is crucial for your comfort. An ERV can prevent dry, stuffy air in the winter and overly humid air in the summer.
- Reduced environmental impact: Beyond saving you money, lowering your energy use can contribute to a greener future for our planet.
