Mechanical Ventilation

Modern advances in energy efficiency have made homes that are sealed as tight as pickle jars. Energy efficient windows and doors, thicker insulation and airtight vapor barriers have made homes just about as efficient as possible, saving energy and money. Unfortunately, these advances have also made it nearly impossible for homes to breathe, meaning all that stale, polluted air stays trapped within your walls and fresh outside air has no way of getting in!

If too little outdoor air enters your home, pollutants start to accumulate, eventually reaching levels that can pose potentially severe health and comfort problems. Even homes that can be considered “leaky” (cracks around the windows and doors, etc.) can build up pollutants if weather conditions don’t permit the air to escape.

What is mechanical ventilation?

Mechanical ventilation uses electronic devices such as fans to remove air from either a single room or the whole house, exhausting the air to the outside and replacing it with fresh, conditioned air. Mechanical ventilation is often the preferred method of ventilating homes as it is safer than leaving doors and windows open and it doesn’t let in things like outdoor noise, rain, snow or other weather conditions inside. Mechanical ventilation allows a quiet, energy efficient way to exchange stale and sometimes toxic indoor air for fresh, outside air throughout your entire home.

According to the EPA, sources of indoor pollution that release gases or contaminants into the air, including things like carpeting, high-VOC paints and furniture wood treatments, are the primary causes of indoor air quality problems in homes. Not providing enough ventilation can aggravate and increase indoor pollutant levels by not bringing in enough fresh, outdoor air to dilute indoor source emissions and also by not carrying enough of potentially unhealthy indoor air pollutants out of the home. If you want to improve your home’s indoor air quality by installing a mechanical ventilation system, call Michael Bonsby Heating & Air Conditioning today!
