Our homes should be places that help us feel refreshed after a night’s sleep, and help us heal when we are sick or hurt. Unfortunately, the indoor air quality of our homes can often harm, not help, our health. Much of the “fresh” air in most homes actually comes from our attics, crawl spaces, and basements, carrying contaminants like fiberglass, rat feces, dirt, dust, and mold. It is important for both indoor air quality and energy efficiency to seal the connections between the attic/crawl/basement and inside, and installing a heat recovery ventilation system will ensure that the people in your home get plenty of truly fresh air.
