Arizona’s warm and humid climate is ideal for whole home ventilation. Of course, the climate you live in will determine the type of ventilation you will need. For example, since Phoenix is warm and sometimes humid, supply, balanced, and energy recovery systems would work best. There are various benefits to each type of whole home ventilation, one being that it helps maintain an energy efficient air quality and comfort.
If you live in a cold climate you may use the exhaust ventilation system. The positive aspect of using this is that it is inexpensive and simple to install. However, it can increase heating and cooling costs and it may rely on random air leakage.
For hot and mixed climates the supply ventilation system may work best. It allows for better control than the exhaust system and it is more inexpensive than the other systems. It is simple to install and it prevents back drafting of combustion gases from such things as appliances and fireplaces. On the down side, it can increase heating and cooling costs and it may require mixing outdoor and indoor air to avoid drafts of cold weather.
The balanced ventilation system is ideal for all types of climates. It is energy efficient and is inexpensive yet it will cost a little more than the other systems overall. It is designed to supply fresh air in rooms that are most often occupied. The down side is that you can expect an increase of heating and cooling costs as well. This ventilation system is best used when you are uncertain what type of weather your area experiences most often.
If you live in an area that has very cold winters or very hot summers then you may consider going with the Energy Recovery and Heat Recovery Ventilation. It helps reduce heating and cooling costs and it is more cost effective in comparison to other ventilation systems during extreme weather. It may be inexpensive overall and save money in the long run, however, initially it will still cost more to install than the other systems.
By having whole home ventilation done on your home, you can improve the quality of the air you breathe. The type of weather your area has most often should determine the type of ventilation system you decide to go with. They are all inexpensive yet some are cheaper than others. And of course, they are all energy savers and will help bring down the cost of energy bills.
