Learn the Basics of Heat Recovery VentilatorsThoroughly insulating your home is a double-edged sword. As it helps you retain heat, it also retains moisture. As a result, you may encounter moisture-related problems such as structural damage and mold growth. A ventilation system such as a heat recovery ventilator (HRV) can help you avoid these issues. Here's how it works and how it could benefit your home.

Understanding the Difference Between an ERV and HRVIf you're serious about ventilating your Fort Wayne area home, you'll probably want to consider a balanced ventilation system. These systems – either a Energy Recovery Ventilator (ERV) or an Heat Recovery Ventilator (HRV) – aggressively exchange stale indoor air with fresh outdoor air. While doing so, they also exchange heat energy in the two parallel airstreams to minimize the amount of conditioned air that gets exhausted from the home.

Balanced Home Ventilation: Choosing Between HRVs & ERVsBalanced home ventilation won't happen by itself.

Simply installing spot exhaust fans or opening a window here and there doesn’t get the job done. For optimum cooling and heating performance and efficiency, interior living spaces should always be in a state of neutral air balance. A heat recovery ventilation (HRV) system, or its close cousin the energy recovery ventilator (ERV), ensures balanced home ventilation and preserves indoor temperatures and air quality. Let's look at how these two systems are similar and different.

"Our AC went out and they sent someone out within a few hours and the problem was fixed quickly. With our service membership we also got a discount so the repair price was reasonable. I was very impressed with how quickly and professionally they fixed the problem especially in the middle of summer when they must get a lot of AC calls. Will definitely continue to use Hartman Bros."
