Contemporary residences are produced with efficiency top of mind. But that also means they’re thoroughly sealed and can have stuffy air.
With proper ventilation, your space can avoid mildew, allergen buildup and related air quality challenges. Correct ventilation also helps remove strong odors, like cooking smells or tobacco smoke.
While relying a window can help for a time, it isn’t useful year-round. It can also be challenging if anyone in your family suffers from allergies.

Three Red Flags that Show Your Home Needs a Ventilation System
There are a a couple signs you need house ventilation, starting with:
Odors Won’t Go Away
You may have a house ventilation problem if you are having trouble getting rid of intense odors, including cooking smells or cigarette smoke.
Stale Air
Your home’s air should be fresh, not stale or stuffy.
Excessive Dirt
While some dust is inevitable, rooms with poor airflow can have larger quantities of dust.
Categories of Ventilation Systems
There are two types of ventilation systems—heat recovery ventilation (HRV) and energy recovery ventilation (ERV).
Both are ideal for new homes or renovated homes with energy upgrades, but are created with different climates in mind.
Areas with a wide variety of weather patterns, including the Midwest, can find advantages from both systems. Contact us for additional information about which system is best for Milledgeville and Middle Georgia.
Heat Recovery Ventilation
HRV operates best in cold climates. It exhausts air from your house, replacing it with fresh air from around your home.
As an energy-efficient option, it holds on to the heat from your indoor air. That way, you won’t have to pay to warm fresh (but chillier) air from outside.
Energy Recovery Ventilation
ERV is ideal for warm, humid places. It extracts the heat and moisture out of your home’s air and guides it outside. This allows you to maintain the best humidity levels in your space. Balanced humidity can keep your space more comfortable and cause you to use your air conditioning less—saving you more money on cooling charges.
