Enhance Airflow with a Dedicated Ventilation System

The ‘V’ in HVAC represents ventilation, and many properties already have some form or other to ensure stable airflow. But just because a duct system is in place doesn’t mean it’s as effective as it can be. The fact is, improper design and minor gaps can impact how well air flows from the supply vent to the return vent. In combination with the tight seal between indoor and outdoor air, this subsequently contributes to higher concentrations of pollutants.

There are additional circumstances that can justify the installation of a ventilation system, including:

The regional climate and nearby sources of air pollution: Outdoor pollution such as smog can gradually leak into your home by using cracks and gaps in doors and windows, making it increasingly difficult to breathe clean air inside. If you are living near industries such as manufacturing or mining, this can exacerbate the problem. Even the local climate can be involved; for example, air pressure systems can stall large amounts of outdoor pollution in the same geographic area, negatively affecting air quality.

Increased indoor pollutants: Excessive quantities of dust, VOCs and other debris can be a problem, particularly if you don’t have time to stay on top of cleaning. One way to deal with this is to improve ventilation, which can help to circulate the air more efficiently and keep dust from accumulating on surfaces. If you’re dealing with excessive dust buildup in your home, it may be evidence that your air filters should be replaced.

Renovation or new construction projects: Significant renovations can be gratifying, but they could also create new problems for your HVAC system. Adding a significant amount of square footage, for instance, can result in persistent hot and cold spots alongside other airflow issues.
