The Benefits of an Electric Ventilation System
The air exchanger in a home is a ventilation system that allows for the renewal of the ambient air, the evacuation of allergens and odors, and the balancing of humidity levels. Some homes are equipped with an oil or fuel oil ventilation system, while others lack one entirely. An electric ventilation system is the most common and by far the most cost-effective option, being economical both at purchase and in the long term.
Electric Ventilation System: Savings All Year Round
In Quebec, electricity is 99% clean energy and inexpensive. Therefore, it is an ideal choice of energy to operate your air exchanger. Indeed, an electric ventilation system in a home is more economical than an oil or fuel oil system, in addition to being less expensive to purchase. Moreover, electric ventilation systems are increasingly popular, constantly being refined, and becoming more and more affordable.
HRV Air Exchanger as Electric Ventilation
An HRV or heat recovery ventilator is an electric ventilation system that allows for proper ventilation of a house, without overly cooling it. Indeed, renewing the air with outside air during winter can be costly to heat. An HRV can recover up to 80% of the home’s heat to transfer it to the incoming air from outside. Contact GestionAir to learn more about the different types of HRV electric ventilation systems available to you.
Switch to Electric Ventilation
Is your home equipped with an oil or fuel oil ventilation system? It is possible to replace your existing system with an electric ventilation system, which will use the same ducts present in your home and operate in substantially the same way. The benefits of switching to electric are numerous: annual savings, less bulky system, less management for buying oil or fuel, elimination of dangerous leak risks, better resale value of the home, etc. It is also the perfect time to have your ducts checked. Contact GestionAir for any questions related to your ventilation system, as well as for your heating or air conditioning.
