Improving Fresh Air Exchange and Indoor Air Quality
Ventilation improvement addresses homes that lack adequate fresh air exchange, which shows up as stale-feeling indoor air, elevated humidity that persists even with the AC running, or a general sense that indoor air quality is worse than it should be despite a functioning HVAC system. This is a distinct issue from filtration or duct cleaning, since a system can filter recirculated air perfectly well while still lacking any meaningful path for outdoor fresh air to enter, which becomes more common as homes are built tighter to meet current energy codes and rely less on incidental air leakage for natural ventilation.
We evaluate a home's current ventilation strategy by identifying any existing dedicated fresh air intake, exhaust fan capacity, and whether the HVAC system has a fresh air damper or economizer feature that is being used effectively. For homes with no dedicated mechanical ventilation, we assess whether adding a simple fresh air intake duct tied into the return side of the system, a dedicated exhaust fan strategy, or a full energy recovery ventilator makes the most sense given the home's size, occupancy, and budget. A fresh air intake without heat and moisture recovery is the most affordable option and works reasonably well in Georgetown's moderate shoulder seasons, while an ERV or HRV is worth the added cost for homes where minimizing the energy penalty of bringing in unconditioned outside air matters more, particularly during peak summer and winter conditions.
For homes that already have some ventilation equipment installed but are still experiencing poor air quality complaints, we check whether the equipment is sized adequately for the home's occupancy and square footage, since undersized ventilation equipment, or a system that was installed but never properly commissioned to bring in the intended airflow rate, will not deliver the air quality benefit it was meant to provide. Georgetown's newer, more tightly sealed subdivisions built over the last several years are where we see this need most often, since builders sometimes install minimum-code ventilation equipment that is technically compliant but under-delivers for how a family actually uses the home. Improvement projects range widely in cost depending on scope, from a simple fresh air intake addition in the 400 to 900 dollar range up to a full ERV installation, always quoted after assessing the home's specific needs.
