ERV and HRV Ventilators

When the doors and windows are shut tightly during a hot Arizona summer, indoor air can become stale and polluted. Al and Riley’s is a trusted Casa Grande air conditioning company offering solutions to improve the health of your home.

Even clean homes are susceptible to air pollution because many contaminants are simply off gases from household cleaners, air fresheners, candles, paints, carpets, beds and more. The EPA calls them VOCs and they’re not good for the health of your family.

Different IAQ products exist to help, such as electronic air cleaners. However, an air cleaner can filter air, but not replenish it. For this we need a heat recovery ventilator (HRV). Ventilators are pretty cool in that they take stale indoor air and exchange it for fresh air from outside. Here’s the cool part: they transfer heat energy during the exchange! So that hot, fresh air coming in is cooled and the cool, stale air leaving the home is heated. An energy recovery ventilator (ERV) does the same thing, but also transfers humidity.
