ERV/HRV System Installation with Dehumidification Services in Seattle
Balance Your Indoor Climate for Healthier Living
In Seattle, the pressing need to maintain optimal indoor air quality has led to increased awareness and adoption of Energy Recovery Ventilators (ERV) and Heat Recovery Ventilators (HRV) systems. These innovative solutions offer a better approach to dealing with common issues such as excess moisture, stale indoor air, and the influx of pollutants. By systematically removing stale air from inside your property and replacing it with fresh outdoor air, ERV and HRV systems play a big role in enhancing the living environment.
When combined with our dehumidification services, they offer a fantastic solution for managing indoor humidity levels, preventing mold growth, and protecting your property and the people in it. Look to SMART Electric, Heating, and Air for the dehumidification services you deserve.
ERV/HRV’s and Humidity Control
Our Brands
ERVs and HRVs are not always necessary in every home. However, they will significantly increase the comfort and climate controllability in a home with ductless-only applications. An ERV/HRV should be installed with one return and one supply in every standard room, with a few extra for larger spaces. Or directly mounted to the conventional system with only an exhaust and fresh air vent needed. The ERV/HRV will take the set amount of outside air and mix it with the return from the ventilation system. The outside air intake is around 30% before it is heated in the core and reintroduced into the home or system.
In a ductless application, an ERV/HRV installed with a return and supply in every room is very efficient and oftentimes called the best system for comfortable living. The technology is rapidly growing, with some systems introducing AI control boards that help the system control static pressures. Improved accessory options are also available, with commercial brands bringing their knowledge and products to residential systems.
Humidity Control
Our Brands
In the greater Seattle area, a humidifier or dehumidifier is not always needed, and a portable product can do the trick most times. When a whole home dehumidifier is needed, you can tell by the musty, heavy air or strange smell. A humidifier is needed when the air or climate is very dry, often noticed with itchy skin, dry throat, or itchy eyes.
We recommend using portable products first before making the investment of installing a whole home system. Please let us know if your water is heavy in metals like calcium and magnesium, which would make our equipment selection for the humidifier a low-conductive canister for steam humidity. We recommend using a steam humidifier directly in line with your supply air on the trunkline.
Why You Should Prioritize Improvements for Your Indoor Air Quality
Improving indoor air quality is all about creating a safe and healthy environment for you and your loved ones. Poor indoor air quality can lead to plenty of health problems, from minor irritations like headaches and allergic reactions to more severe conditions such as asthma and other respiratory issues. Introducing HRV and ERV systems, along with dehumidification services, can significantly improve indoor air quality by removing pollutants, allergens, and excess moisture from your home.
The Risks of Not Dehumidifying Your Home
Failing to maintain proper humidity levels inside your home can have several adverse effects. Excess moisture can damage the structural integrity of your property, leading to costly repairs. Environments with high humidity are breeding grounds for mold and mildew, which can cause health issues for the inhabitants. Not dehumidifying your home also puts additional strain on your HVAC and cooling systems, something that can take cash out of your wallet that you shouldn't have to lose.
Commercial Dehumidification Services
Our commercial dehumidification services cater to businesses and property owners who wish to safeguard their premises from the detrimental effects of excess moisture. By maintaining optimal humidity levels, businesses can protect their inventory, especially if it includes moisture-sensitive products. Additionally, a comfortable and healthy working environment boosts employee productivity and well-being. Our services make sure that commercial properties in and around Seattle — regardless of size — can benefit from enhanced air quality and moisture control.
