Choosing the right home ventilation system


Good ventilation is important in any home, but often hard to achieve, especially in the cold winter months. There are numerous ventilation systems on the market today, and one of the leading ones is the Total Vent Heat Recovery Ventilation system – more commonly known as Total Vent HRV.
If you don't already know the benefits of adequate ventilation, here are just a few to get you thinking:
·         Providing outside air for breathing.
·         Diluting and removing airborne pollutants and smells.
·         Reducing moisture which builds up from water vapor in the air inside the house. This is a particular problem during the winter months when it’s often hard to open windows and doors. Excess moisture is bad for your health and bad for your home.
·         Preventing the growth of mold and fungi, which is not only a leading cause of asthma, but can also damage your house wall linings and your soft furnishings?
·         Last, but certainly not least, adequate ventilation will lower your heating costs.
 A ventilation system makes your whole home healthier by drawing in outside air through your roof space, filtering it and distributing it through your house. As clean, fresh air comes in, old, stale air is removed. - It’s essentially a recycling system. This process removes the excess moisture, toxins and odors created by cooking, cleaning, bathing and the simple but necessary act of breathing.
The Total Vent HRV system has a fully automatic control system tests that displays both the temperature of the air coming into the house as well as the actual temperature in the house. The ventilation rate is controlled by air supply
The units are so small, that though they are also used in commercial settings, their size makes them ideal for residential homes as well. The cost of running a system is small. It costs about the same as a small light bulb.
