About Ventilation and Fresh Air
Tight homes need to breathe. Do it without wasting energy
A tight house keeps conditioned air in, but it also keeps odors, moisture, carbon dioxide and other indoor pollutants in. Mechanical ventilation brings in fresh air and exhausts stale air in a controlled way.
Energy recovery ventilators transfer heat and moisture between the two streams, so you get fresh air without a big heating or cooling cost. We plan, install and balance the system.
- Fresh air in a controlled, balanced way
- Energy recovery that limits cost
- Helps with odors, moisture and stale air
- Neat installation with proper ducting
Who It Is For
A Great Fit If You…

How It Works

Before and After
See the Difference
Drag the handle to compare. Photos are illustrative.
Photos on this site are illustrative and show typical equipment and homes, not completed Music City HVAC projects. Every system is sized and confirmed with a visit before work begins, and permit and code requirements depend on your home and location. Figures in our tools are planning estimates only.
Does my home need mechanical ventilation?
Newer and well-sealed homes often benefit, and so do homes that feel stuffy or humid. We assess it with you.
Will ventilation raise my energy bills?
A properly sized energy recovery system adds fresh air with much less energy cost than simply opening windows.
What is the difference between an ERV and an HRV?
Both recover heat, and an ERV also transfers some moisture. Which fits depends on climate and home.
