Indoor air quality is often overlooked, but it’s one of the most important factors in maintaining a healthy and comfortable living space. Good ventilation plays a critical role in removing pollutants, balancing humidity, and ensuring your home or business has a continuous supply of fresh air. That’s why professional ventilation services are more important than ever—especially in today’s energy-efficient, tightly sealed buildings.
At AIR FACTORY Heating & Cooling, we offer comprehensive ventilation services designed to improve your indoor environment. Whether you’re experiencing stale air, high humidity, or health concerns related to poor air circulation, our experts can design and install a system tailored to your needs.
In this post, we’ll explore what ventilation services include, why they matter, and how AIR FACTORY Heating & Cooling helps homes and businesses breathe easier every day.

What Are Ventilation Services?
Ventilation services refer to the assessment, design, installation, and maintenance of systems that bring fresh air into your home while expelling stale air. These services also help regulate indoor humidity and remove contaminants such as:
- Dust and allergens
- Mold spores
- Smoke and odors
- Carbon dioxide buildup
- Volatile organic compounds (VOCs)
Proper ventilation is essential for maintaining indoor air quality (IAQ) and overall health, especially for people with allergies, asthma, or respiratory issues.
Types of Ventilation Systems
There are several types of systems used in residential and commercial buildings to enhance airflow and air quality. Here’s a breakdown of the most common ventilation options:
1. Exhaust Ventilation Systems
These use fans to expel stale air from your home, typically from areas like kitchens, bathrooms, and attics.
Best for:
- Colder climates
- Homes with tight building envelopes
2. Supply Ventilation Systems
This type brings fresh outdoor air inside while using fans to pressurize your space and push out stale air through natural leaks and exhaust fans.
Best for:
- Warmer climates
- Improved control of fresh air intake
3. Balanced Ventilation Systems
As the name suggests, these systems bring in fresh air and expel stale air in equal measure, usually with two fans and ducts for both intake and exhaust.
Best for:
- Homes in mixed climates
- Those wanting improved energy efficiency
4. Energy Recovery Ventilators (ERVs) & Heat Recovery Ventilators (HRVs)
These advanced systems recover heat or energy from outgoing air and use it to condition the incoming air, maximizing efficiency.
Best for:
- Energy-efficient homes
- People seeking premium indoor comfort
Not sure which system is right for you? That’s where AIR FACTORY Heating & Cooling comes in. We evaluate your home’s layout, climate, and air quality needs to recommend the ideal solution.
Why Ventilation Services Are Essential
Many homes today are built to be airtight for better energy efficiency. While this reduces heating and cooling costs, it also traps indoor air pollutants. Without proper ventilation, you’re breathing the same stale, contaminated air day after day.
Here are the top reasons to invest in professional ventilation services:
1. Improved Air Quality
Ventilation removes airborne contaminants, ensuring your family breathes clean, healthy air.
2. Humidity Control
Too much moisture indoors can lead to mold, mildew, and structural damage. Proper airflow balances humidity levels, reducing these risks.
3. Comfort
Fresh air helps eliminate lingering odors and makes your home feel more pleasant year-round.
4. Healthier Living
Cleaner air reduces the risk of respiratory infections, allergies, and other health issues linked to poor indoor air.
5. Energy Efficiency
Modern ventilation systems—especially HRVs and ERVs—can lower energy bills by recycling heat and reducing the load on your HVAC system.

Not sure if your home has a ventilation problem? Here are some common signs:
- Musty or stale air

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. How do I know if my home needs better ventilation?
If you notice stale air, moisture buildup, or health symptoms like allergies, your home may lack proper airflow. A ventilation inspection can identify the cause.
2. What’s the difference between an HRV and an ERV?
HRVs transfer heat between outgoing and incoming air, while ERVs also manage humidity. ERVs are ideal for humid climates, while HRVs suit colder areas.
3. How often should ventilation systems be serviced?
We recommend annual inspections and cleaning to keep your system efficient and safe. Filters may need replacing more often, depending on usage.
