The Many Benefits of ERVs (Energy Recovery Ventilators)

Fresh air is essential to ensure a healthy and comfortable home. However, keeping windows open means making your AC or heating work harder. Energy recovery ventilators (ERVs) can solve this by delivering fresh air without impacting your cooling and heating efficiency.

How Energy Recovery Ventilators Work

Energy recovery ventilators are specialized ventilation systems that transfer heat and moisture between incoming and outgoing air. In summer, this pre-cools fresh air before it enters your home. In winter, it pre-heats the air. This lets you enjoy a higher level of fresh air without making your HVAC system work harder.

Saving More Year-Round

Exchanging heat between incoming and outgoing air means that there’s less work for your HVAC system. This translates to a noticeable reduction in your utility bills month after month. Extreme heat or cold makes this effect even more significant. Your home will use less energy overall, adding up to major savings over the years.

Improving Your Indoor Air Quality

Circulating the same air through your home leads to stale air filled with pollutants and germs. All ventilation systems require a certain amount of fresh air, but there’s a trade-off with energy use. Energy recovery ventilators let you shift the balance more toward fresh air, providing a healthier and more comfortable living environment.

Reducing Wear on Your HVAC System

The reduced workload on your HVAC system saves you money on more than just energy. It also means less wear on your system, helping you save on ongoing repairs. This can even be the difference between needing early replacement or not, letting you get the most out of your AC or heating system.

Consistent Comfort Every Season

Energy recovery ventilators are highly effective at regulating both temperature and humidity. That means you’ll enjoy a more comfortable home during Florida’s hot and humid summers. It also helps prevent excessive dryness during cooler months.
