Fresh Indoor Air Starts With Ventilators From River City

Getting fresh air into your home is usually as easy as opening a window. But what if it’s the middle of winter—or 100 degrees outside? That’s where air ventilators from River City Heating & Air Conditioning come in. Here, our air quality experts share how these systems can keep your air fresh and clean no matter what it’s like outside. Learn more below, then call us at 507-454-7689 to discuss your needs.

What Does a Ventilator Do?

It depends on which type of ventilators, but in general, these systems exchange stale indoor air for fresh outdoor air. There are two major types of these systems: energy recovery ventilators and heat recovery ventilators.

Energy Recovery Ventilators (ERVs)

ERVs pre-filter the air that comes in from outside, helping lower pollution levels in your Winona-area home without wasting energy. While effective, these units are typically best for warmer climates.

Heat Recovery Ventilators (HRVs)

HRVs work the same way—but with one major difference. They also minimize heat loss to ensure maximum efficiency in comfort. They are ideal for our Minnesota climate because you can run them in winter without worrying about cold air getting in.

Benefits of Air Ventilators

Clean Air

No matter which ventilator you choose, they all bring fresh air in from outside. But they also condition it, removing allergy triggers such as pollen to provide clean air too—year-round.

Improved Energy Efficiency

Because ventilators pre-condition the air it brings in from outside, no heating or cooling energy is lost indoors. You’ll be able to enjoy all the comfort you need year-round while knowing your energy bills won’t suffer.

Less Condensation

It’s common for condensation to build up in your home in the summertime. Unfortunately, that can encourage mold, mildew, and other microorganisms to grow. UV lights are a great way to eliminate those pollutants, but a ventilator can also help reduce moisture, making for a healthier home.
