Fresh air – Heat Return Vent
There is not any exchange of indoor air for fresh outdoor air, so you just cycle the same treated air through your home afternoon after afternoon.
If you are anything like me you actually love getting out into nature and experiencing all of the beauty that it has to offer. I’m not only talking about looking around and seeing the gorgeous trees and rocks all around. I’m talking about enjoying it with all of your senses. Obviously the sounds of nature are extremely calming and peaceful, such as rainfall or a babbling brook. But my pal and I should also talk about the feel and smell of the air when you are in The Great Outdoors. I don’t suppose enough people love the natural ventilation as much as they should. There’s nothing that I love more than waking up early and going on it quick hike up my local mountain. As soon as I get outside and fill my lungs with the fresh and cool air of Summer afternoons I feel amazing about life. There’s just nothing like it. Especially when we are talking about the air quality that you experienced inside in the summer. In comparison, there is no doubt that the outdoor air is much healthier for you. What am I talking about? I’m talking about how stale and stagnant your air conditioned air is. When you spend the entire Summer pumping A/C into your home, eventually the air gets stale. There is not any exchange of indoor air for fresh outdoor air, so you just cycle the same treated air through your home afternoon after afternoon. Recently I was actually glad to learn about heat return vents. They work to circumvent this stale indoor air issue. The purpose of the heat return vent, or HRV, is to update the volume of indoor air with outdoor air. This way your home will never get so stale that you forget what fresh mountain air even feels like.
