Energy Recovery Ventilators
ERVs exchange stale indoor air for fresh outdoor air while transferring heat and some moisture between the streams, which helps manage humidity during Georgia's long, muggy summers.

Whole-Home Ventilation in Roswell, GA
Modern homes are built tighter than ever, which helps with energy bills but can trap cooking odors, stale air, and indoor pollutants. Mechanical ventilation brings in a controlled amount of outdoor air and exhausts stale air, helping keep indoor air fresher without opening windows. Our whole-home ventilation in Roswell service includes energy recovery ventilators, heat recovery ventilators, fresh air intake dampers tied to your air handler, and balanced exhaust strategies. In a humid climate like ours, energy recovery ventilators are often the better fit because they transfer some moisture along with heat, helping limit how much summer humidity comes in with fresh air. We calculate ventilation rates based on your home size and occupancy, then design the system so it works with your existing heating and cooling equipment instead of fighting against it.

Heat Recovery Ventilators
HRVs transfer heat without moisture. They can suit specific homes or spaces, and we explain when an HRV makes more sense than an ERV for your particular situation.
Fresh Air Intake Dampers
A motorized damper connected to the return duct brings in measured outdoor air when the blower runs, a simpler option for homes that need only modest ventilation.
Ventilation Rate Design
We calculate how much fresh air your home needs based on square footage and bedroom count, then size equipment and ducts to deliver it without over-ventilating.
Exhaust Fan Integration
Bathroom and kitchen exhaust fans are part of the ventilation picture. We check their ducting and exterior termination and can tie them into a balanced overall strategy.
Controls and Scheduling
Timers, dehumidistats, and smart controls manage when ventilation runs, so fresh air comes in at the right times of day without overloading your air conditioner on humid afternoons.
Why Choose our Whole-Home Ventilation Experts in Roswell
Ventilation done poorly can bring in more humidity, pollen, and energy costs than it is worth. Our technicians design systems for this climate, considering how fresh air will affect moisture levels, AC load, and comfort before recommending equipment. You get a clear explanation of the tradeoffs between each approach.
We handle the full installation, including intake and exhaust terminations, duct connections, condensate where needed, and control wiring. Because we also service heating, cooling, and air quality equipment, we make sure your ventilation works in step with the rest of the system. After installation, we measure airflow to confirm the system delivers the intended fresh air rate. We also show you how to clean or replace the filters and core so the unit keeps running efficiently.

FAQ
Whole-Home Ventilation FAQs
Answers to the questions Roswell customers ask us most. Still unsure? Call (770) 661-0066.
Does my home need mechanical ventilation?
Tightly built or recently renovated homes often benefit, since they exchange less air naturally. Signs include lingering cooking odors, stuffiness, window condensation in winter, or a general stale feel. Older, leakier homes may already get plenty of air exchange. We evaluate your home's tightness and habits before recommending a system.
What is the difference between an ERV and an HRV?
Both exchange stale indoor air for fresh outdoor air while recovering energy. An HRV transfers heat only, while an ERV transfers heat and some moisture. In a humid climate like Roswell's, an ERV usually helps limit how much summer moisture comes indoors with fresh air, which is why it is often the preferred choice here.
Will adding fresh air make my house more humid?
It can if the system is not designed for the climate. Bringing in outdoor air on muggy days adds moisture the AC must remove. An ERV, sensible controls, and sometimes a dehumidifier help manage this. We design ventilation with humidity in mind so fresh air does not come at the cost of comfort.
What affects the cost of a whole-home ventilation system?
Cost depends on the type of system, from a simple fresh air damper to a full ERV or HRV, along with home size, duct routing, and where intake and exhaust can be located. Control options also play a role. After evaluating your home, we provide an upfront quote for the approach that fits.
How do I maintain an ERV or HRV?
Filters in the unit typically need cleaning or replacement every few months, and the core should be inspected and cleaned periodically according to the manufacturer. Exterior intake hoods should be kept clear of leaves and debris. We can include ventilation equipment in your regular HVAC maintenance so nothing gets overlooked.
