ventilation FAQs
Questions, answered
What does a home ventilation system do?
A ventilation system brings fresh outdoor air in and pushes stale air out. An ERV or HRV does this while recovering most of your heating and cooling energy.
What is the difference between an ERV and an HRV?
An HRV transfers heat between the air streams, while an ERV transfers heat and moisture. An ERV often suits our humid summers better.
Do I need ventilation if my home is newer?
Often, yes. Newer homes are sealed tight, which traps stale air and moisture. A ventilation system brings in the fresh air a tight home lacks.
How much does an ERV or HRV cost?
A whole-home ERV or HRV typically runs about $1,500 to $4,000 installed in this area. AnyWeather gives a free estimate first.
Is ventilation the same as an air purifier?
No. Ventilation brings in fresh outdoor air, while an air purifier cleans the air already inside. Many homes use both.
Will ventilation help with humidity?
It can. An ERV helps keep some outdoor humidity out in summer. For heavy humidity, pair it with a dehumidifier.
