Beyond Heating and Cooling

As modern buildings are constructed with tighter envelopes for energy efficiency, proper ventilation and indoor air quality (IAQ) have never been more critical. Without active management, indoor air can become stale, excessively humid, and laden with particulates and VOCs.

AirPrime designs IAQ solutions as an integral part of the HVAC system, not as an afterthought. We ensure that fresh air is introduced, filtered, and conditioned efficiently.

IAQ Solutions

  • Energy Recovery Ventilators (ERVs) and HRVs
  • High-efficiency media filtration (MERV 11-16)
  • Whole-house active humidification and dehumidification
  • UV-C light purification systems
  • Fresh air intake dampers and controls
  • Dedicated exhaust systems for kitchens and baths

The ERV Advantage

For new construction, we highly recommend Energy Recovery Ventilators (ERVs). These units exchange stale indoor air with fresh outdoor air while transferring heat and moisture between the two streams, providing superior air quality with minimal energy loss.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between an ERV and an HRV?
Both bring in fresh air and recover heat. However, an ERV (Energy Recovery Ventilator) also transfers moisture, helping to keep humidity levels balanced, which is generally preferred in our climate.
Will high-efficiency filters restrict airflow?
They can, if the system isn't designed for them. We design our ductwork and select filter cabinets with sufficient surface area to accommodate high MERV filters without causing excessive static pressure drops.
