An energy recovery ventilator is a whole-house ventilator device that provides your home with a controlled method of ventilation. ERVs in particular pre-cool the fresh air that\u2019s coming into your home. ERV systems eliminate the problem ofchoosing between fresh air or a cool home. These systems can help you have both.
