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 Lincoln, Nebraska, 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.
Classes of Ventilation Systems
There are two categories of ventilation systems—heat recovery ventilation (HRV) and energy recovery ventilation (ERV).
Either is ideal for new homes or renovated homes with energy upgrades, but are created with different climates in mind.
Regions with a wide variety of weather patterns, including the Midwest, can benefit from both systems. Contact us for additional information about which system is best for Lincoln.
Heat Recovery Ventilation
HRV works best in cold climates. It exhausts air from your home, replacing it with fresh air from outside your home.
As an energy-efficient option, it holds on to the heat from your indoor air. That way, you shouldn’t have to pay to heat fresh (but colder) air from around your home.
Energy Recovery Ventilation
ERV is a good fit for warm, humid environments. It takes the heat and moisture out of your house’s air and guides it outdoors. This helps you keep proper humidity levels in your space. Balanced humidity can keep your house more comfortable and cause you to use your air conditioning less—saving you more money on cooling charges.
