Learn More About HRV Systems

When the weather outside turns dreary and wet, its vital that you have a high-functioning system. Thus, helping to bring warm and clean air to every corner of every room. An HRV system from McDowell & Son can help you keep everyone cozy when the weather outside is frightening!
When to Choose ERV over HRV
HRV systems can help you warm your home while helping recover energy that would otherwise be lost in more common heating units. So, why should someone choose an energy recovery ventilator over a heat recovery ventilator?
ERV systems operate in a similar manner as HRVs, with a special focus on moisture. If you fear that your home has an increased level of moisture, you may be concerned about mold and bacteria growth in the hidden areas of your walls, basement, and attic. An ERV system can take the moisture collected through the energy exchange process. Furthermore, removing it from the building – offering a cleaner and drier home climate!
