Cut Annual Energy Costs by Ten Percent
The constant flow of fresh air in a building greatly increases your air-conditioning load. Since an equal amount of air must be vented outdoors, you're basically throwing away air you've paid to cool.
Interested in a solution? Install an ERV system that works in unison with your air-conditioning system. An ERV system can reduce your air-conditioning load by up to 20 percent and cut energy costs by as much as 10 percent a year. |
