I’ve read that all the people spend approximately ninety percent of their time inside.
The weather in my local area often makes getting outside just about impossible, and between the Summer heat as well as humidity as well as the sub zero hot as well as cold temperatures as well as snow during the winter, my associate and I are severely reliant on the a/c as well as furnace.
I look forward to the few weeks out of the year when I can open the windows as well as welcome in a fresh breeze. In-between, the living space tends to get honestly stale as well as stuffy. I’ve gone to good lengths to tighten up the home as well as eliminate energy losses; All of the caulking, insulation as well as weatherstripping has helped to prevent the heated as well as cooling air from leaking out. Unluckyly, the lack of natural ventilation creates some problems with indoor air quality. The furnace as well as a/c circulate the same air throughout the home over as well as over again. Any dust, pollen, dander, bacteria, VOCs, viruses or pathogens are trapped inside. I have finally found the next best thing to opening the windows. I invested into a heat recovery ventilator that is designed to bring fresh air into the home all year round without energy waste. The ventilator significantly improves the health, cleanliness, odor as well as comfort of the home. Because it is a heat recovery model, it takes fortune of the outgoing air during the winter, using it to preheat the air it brings in. This lessens demands on the furnace as well as saves cash on energy costs; During the summer, the ventilator helps to combat excess humidity, reducing the workload of the a/c.
