I can acexpertise that I am not well versed in anything having to do with home ownership or handiwork.
I am the type of person who would like to cuddle up with a book & pretend that the world does not exist all afternoon. I definitely do not go out of my way to get involved with any of the home repairs or renovations that my fiance is constantly talking about. In fact, when he calls repair professionals out to our home I do everything in my power to stay out of the way. I don’t want to hear about our heating & cooling system, our potential energy savings, or all of the other costly repair services that my buddy and I could theoretically purchase. My only interest is making sure that the indoor air temperature is comfortable, our home is safe, & our energy costs aren’t going to put us on the street. My fiance is the one with the intense interest in central heating, cooling, & air quality control systems. That’s why I was on board when he wanted to install a heat return vent, or HRV. To be fair, I had no idea what he was talking about when I agreed to the HRV replacement. It turns out, there is a way to officially circulate your indoor air by bringing in as much fresh air from the outside as you exhaust from inside. This is what an HRV accomplishes. I have no idea which Heating & A/C business installed the heat return vent or how much my buddy and I paid for it… But I can tell you that the indoor air quality has improved.
