When you think of indoor air quality, you might dream of the fresh, clean spring air coming through an open window and a comfortable home—a feeling you may wish for all year. Unfortunately, the weather in Manassas makes this difficult during the less pleasant months. But do you have to give up this fresh air just because the weather isn’t playing fair? The answer is “no.” With good ventilation, your indoor air quality can be exceptional—no matter what it’s like outside.
Ventilation involves more than just opening a few windows or doors in your home. While it's positively revitalizing on delightful, mild days, it’s not something you can do year-round in Manassas. The positive is that technological advances have allowed us to create the benefits of refreshing outdoor air using your heating and cooling equipment.

There are two types of ventilation systems available: Energy Recovery Ventilators (ERVs) and Heat Recovery Ventilators (HRVs). Because of the climate, it's recommended that homes in most of the United States and all of Canada to use HRVs. ERVs are used most heavily in the muggy southern regions.
