Whole-House Ventilation System Installation & Upgrades

Types of Whole-House Ventilation Systems:

A. Exhaust Ventilation Systems (Best for Cold Climates)

• Uses exhaust fans to pull stale indoor air out of the home, creating negative pressure that draws in fresh air through vents, cracks, or dedicated intake vents.

• Common in bathrooms, kitchens, and attics to remove humidity, odors, and pollutants.

B. Supply Ventilation Systems (Best for Hot Climates)

• Brings in filtered outdoor air using a fan, creating positive air pressure inside the home.

• Helps control moisture levels and prevents unfiltered air from entering through leaks.

Balanced Ventilation Systems (Most Efficient)

• Uses both supply and exhaust fans to introduce fresh air while simultaneously removing stale air.

• Ensures consistent air circulation and optimal humidity control.

Energy Recovery Ventilators (ERVs) & Heat Recovery Ventilators (HRVs)

• ERVs: Transfer both heat and moisture between incoming and outgoing air, making them ideal for humid climates.

• HRVs: Transfer only heat, making them more effective in cold climates by retaining indoor warmth while bringing in fresh air.

• HVAC technicians install ERVs and HRVs to improve ventilation without significantly increasing energy costs.

Bathroom & Kitchen Exhaust Fan Installation and Repair

Bathroom Ventilation Services

• Proper bathroom exhaust fans remove moisture, odors, and pollutants to prevent mold growth and humidity-related damage.

• HVAC technicians ensure that exhaust fans are properly vented outdoors, not into attics or walls, which can cause moisture buildup.

Kitchen Ventilation Services

• Kitchen range hoods remove smoke, grease, and cooking odors using ducted or ductless exhaust systems.

• HVAC technicians install, repair, and upgrade range hoods, ensuring they meet the proper airflow capacity (measured in CFM – cubic feet per minute).

• Proper ventilation reduces indoor air pollutants like carbon monoxide and grease buildup, improving air quality.

Attic Ventilation Services

Types of Attic Ventilation Systems:

• Ridge Vents & Soffit Vents – Passive ventilation that allows hot air to escape through the roof while drawing in cooler air through soffit vents.

• Powered Attic Fans – Electric or solar-powered fans that actively pull hot air out of the attic, reducing strain on HVAC systems.

• Gable Vents – Installed on the side walls of attics to promote cross-ventilation.

Crawl Space & Basement Ventilation

Ventilation Solutions for Crawl Spaces & Basements:

• Installing Crawl Space Ventilation Fans to circulate air and remove excess moisture.

• Sealing & Insulating Crawl Spaces to prevent unwanted air exchange and humidity infiltration.

• Installing Dehumidifiers in basements to maintain proper moisture levels and prevent mold growth.

Commercial Ventilation System Design & Maintenance

Common Commercial Ventilation Services:

• Makeup Air Systems – Replenish exhausted air with filtered outdoor air to maintain proper indoor air balance.

• Commercial Kitchen Ventilation – Ensuring compliance with health and safety regulations by installing high-CFM range hoods and grease-trapping exhaust systems.

• Industrial Ventilation – Installing specialized air purification and ventilation systems to remove airborne contaminants in manufacturing plants, laboratories, and warehouses.

Air Balancing & Ventilation System Optimization

Air Balancing Services Include:

• Adjusting Damper Settings – Dampers control how much air is directed to different areas of a building. HVAC technicians adjust them to ensure even airflow.

• Optimizing Ductwork Design – Ensuring correct duct sizing and placement to eliminate hot or cold spots.

• Testing Air Pressure & Airflow – Using specialized instruments to measure static pressure and airflow efficiency in ducts and vents.

Fresh Air Intake System Installation

Fresh Air Intake Benefits:

• Reduces carbon dioxide buildup for a healthier indoor environment.

• Dilutes indoor VOCs, smoke, and cooking odors.

• Helps maintain optimal humidity levels by allowing controlled fresh air entry.

Garage Ventilation Solutions

Garage Ventilation Options:

• Wall-Mounted Exhaust Fans – Remove toxic fumes from enclosed garages.

• Air Purification Systems – Filter out pollutants before they enter the main house.

• Carbon Monoxide Detectors – Ensure early detection of dangerous gas levels.
