If you've ever wondered whether an HRV is enough, when to choose an ERV, or why your humidifier isn’t working with your new heat pump, this video has the answers.

In the final episode of our *4-part HVAC Education Series*, Wamboldt Heating and Air Conditioning owner Owen Wamboldt walks you through common indoor air add-ons—what they do, why they matter, and how to choose the right ones for your home.

🏠 Why does indoor air quality matter?
Today’s high-efficiency HVAC systems are only part of the comfort equation. Add-ons like HRVs, ERVs, and humidifiers help balance airflow, regulate humidity, and remove stale air—especially in tightly built Ottawa homes where fresh air can’t get in on its own.

🔍 What you'll learn in this video:
What HRVs and ERVs do—and how they differ
Why HRVs are better for winter, while ERVs help with summer humidity
How fresh air systems reduce allergens, VOCs, and radon
Why your humidifier might stop working with a heat pump
The difference between flow-through and steam humidifiers
When to consider a whole-home dehumidifier
Tips on HEPA filters, UV filtration, and oversized furnace filters

📐*Real example:* Owen explains how a neighbor saw radon levels drop after replacing a broken HRV—and why proper ventilation matters for both energy and health. He also breaks down how air exchangers pre-condition outdoor air, making your furnace or AC work less.

✅ Make your home more comfortable year-round
