Professional Home Ventilation Services in Park City, UT

What is the difference between an ERV and an HRV, and which is right for my Park City home?

An HRV (or heat recovery ventilator) transfers heat from outgoing stale air to incoming fresh air, reducing the energy cost of ventilation in cold climates. An ERV (or energy recovery ventilator) does the same—but it also transfers moisture, which helps maintain indoor humidity levels during Park City‘s dry winters. For most Summit County homes, an ERV is the better choice because it retains the moisture your home works to maintain, rather than exhausting it along with the stale air. Premier Strand evaluates your specific home and recommends the right unit for your situation.

How do I know if my Park City home has a ventilation problem?

Common indicators include condensation on windows during winter, persistent cooking or pet odors that linger for hours, elevated CO2 levels that cause afternoon fogginess or fatigue, and air that feels stuffy even when the HVAC is running normally. In newer construction and recently renovated homes, these problems are increasingly common because the building envelope has been tightened without a compensating ventilation strategy. Premier Strand assesses ventilation adequacy as part of our whole-home IAQ evaluation.

Does a whole-home ventilation system increase energy bills?

Properly sized ERV and HRV systems recover approximately 70% to 80% of the energy from exhaust air and transfer it to incoming fresh air, meaning the net energy cost of ventilation is a fraction of what it would be with uncontrolled air leakage or window ventilation. In Park City‘s climate, a well-specified ventilation system often pays for itself through improved system efficiency, reduced humidity-related damage, and lower maintenance costs over time.

Can a whole-home ventilation system be added to an existing Park City house?

Yes. Premier Strand installs ERV and HRV systems in existing homes throughout Park City, typically integrating with the existing ductwork where possible and designing dedicated supply and exhaust runs where the existing layout requires it. We assess your home’s current duct configuration during the free estimate and design an installation approach that minimizes disruption to your finished spaces.
