Every Florida homeowner knows the conundrum: you want to let fresh air inside, but not let the conditioned air you've paid for escape. Opening a door or window lets heat and humidity pour in along with the fresh air, and running the AC to compensate costs a fortune. With heat and energy recovery ventilators, it doesn't have to be that way—and in newer, tightly sealed Bradenton and Sarasota homes, where indoor air can turn stale and stuffy, ventilation like this is often exactly what's missing.

The Benefits of ERV and HRV Systems in Bradenton & Sarasota
Energy and heat recovery ventilators work in all types of weather. If it's hot outside, they cool the incoming fresh air; if it's cool out, they warm it. They recover around 80% of the energy that would otherwise be lost if you simply opened the house to the outdoors. With the right ERV or HRV in place, you get the fresh air you want without putting extra strain on your AC or heater—or paying for it on your utility bill.
An ERV has an additional benefit that matters a great deal on the Gulf Coast: it helps balance humidity. Because the two air currents contact each other, moisture transfers between them along with heat, so an ERV doesn't dump the outdoors' humidity straight into your home the way raw ventilation would. That makes an ERV the usual recommendation for our climate, though an HRV—which doesn't transfer moisture—is the better choice in some homes. For serious moisture problems, an ERV works best alongside a dedicated whole-house dehumidifier rather than in place of one. Ask our comfort technicians which setup fits your home.
