Control Indoor Pollution with a Whole-Home Ventilation System in the Niagara Region

Current homes are more energy efficient, which is good news for your heating and cooling bills. But that efficiency also makes your home more airtight, which is bad news for indoor air quality.

We spend most of our lives indoors—up to 90 percent, according to an EPA study. And having an airtight home means pollutants can accumulate. The EPA says this can lead to your home’s air quality being two to five times worse than outdoor air.

With a whole-home ventilation system from Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning, you can pull stale, contaminated air from your home. Then, the system swaps the musty air with crisp air from outdoors. Some systems can help your home keep heat and moisture in the winter and get rid of more of it in the summer.

Get started by requesting a no-cost comfort analysis. Our Experts can recommend the system that’s best for your home and climate in the Niagara Region. Plus, all our work is supported by a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee for a year.^*

Why Home Ventilation is Important

Having poor indoor air quality can make you feel bad or worsen chronic problems like allergies or asthma.

There are a couple of pollution sources that alter the air your family breathes.

1. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs). These chemicals are found in everyday household items, like furniture, flooring, paint and cleaning products. High concentration can lead to respiratory inflammation and headaches.
2. Dust, mold and pet dander. These are the biggest common indoor pollution sources. They can worsen allergies and asthma.
3. Carbon monoxide. This colorless, odorless, tasteless gas is caused by insufficient combustion in a natural gas appliance. CO poisoning causes flu-like symptoms and can kill you.

How Whole-Home Ventilation Works

House ventilation systems can eliminate pollution from the air in your living space.

Balanced ventilation uses exhaust fans to bring fresh air into the house—and push out stuffy air.

Plus, some systems from Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning make the most of energy efficiency. This gives fresh airflow without excessive energy consumption.

Heat Recovery Ventilation

• Ideal for cold areas

Energy Recovery Ventilation

• Transfers moisture and heat to condition incoming air

• Recommended for humid locations

If you live in the Midwest, your home can benefit from installing both kinds of systems.
