Current homes are made with efficiency top of mind. But that also means they’re strongly sealed and can have stuffy air.
With appropriate ventilation, your home can avoid mildew, allergen buildup and other air quality problems. Good ventilation also helps remove severe odors, like cooking smells or tobacco smoke.
While cracking a window can help for a bit, it can’t be used year-round. It can also be difficult if anyone in your family deals with allergies.
Lennox home ventilation systems in Northglenn, Colorado, provide an energy-efficient option: replacing flat inside air with renewed outdoor air. They’re created to work with any heating and cooling system. Plus, they don’t create any ozone, a toxic gas that can aggravate your lungs.

Three Indications Your Home Needs a Ventilation System
There are a few signs you need house ventilation, including:
Odors Never Fade
You might have a house ventilation problem if you have trouble getting rid of strong odors, including cooking smells or cigarette smoke.
Stuffy Air
Your house’s air should be clean and healthy, not stale or stuffy.
Excess Dirt
While some dust is inevitable, rooms with poor airflow can have larger quantities of dust.
Categories of Ventilation Systems
There are two types of ventilation systems—heat recovery ventilation (HRV) and energy recovery ventilation (ERV).
Either is ideal for new homes or recently updated homes with energy upgrades, but are made with different climates in mind.
Environments with a wide range of weather patterns, including the Midwest, can find value from both systems. Contact us for more information about which system is best for Northglenn.
Heat Recovery Ventilation
HRV functions best in cooler climates. It exhausts air from your home, replacing it with fresh air from around your home.
As an energy-efficient option, it maintains the heat from your indoor air. That way, you won’t have to pay to warm fresh (but cooler) air from outside.
Energy Recovery Ventilation
ERV is great for warm, humid climates. It draws the heat and moisture out of your space’s air and sends it out of your home. This helps you maintain proper humidity levels in your home. Balanced humidity can keep your space more comfortable and cause you to use your air conditioning less often—saving you more money on cooling costs.
