I am planning to build a (primarily) summer house, and someone suggested the idea of having a whole house heat exchanger to introduce fresh air into the house. (an example of a heat exchanger:
The ancient flashlight within the entrance of a furnace farce is as ancient because the hills for convincing a house owner they want a brand new warmness exchanger.There are truly checks that have got to be performed and different signs he definitely did not take into account. Several HVAC firms inform their techs to up sale materials in the course of a provider name. The extra the tech pushes, the bigger his paycheck, regardless whether or not or no longer it's rather wanted or truthfull. Don't fall for it. Loud motor? How so? Maybe only a bearing, or new shaft. Maybe the fan itself (the trucks almost always get a coating of airborne dust and residue that simply required a cleansing, washing and reassembly. Sometimes the motor mount is free, the sheet steel cupboard might want tightening. Before you spend any cash, attempt to rather slender down why this piece of apparatus IS loud earlier than you spend over a one hundred dollars.
The heat exchanger shown on the link is merely an element of a full heating and ventilating system. A heat exchanger is merely a device to take heat from one medium and transfer it to another. A gas water heater has a form of heat exchanger. Hot gases pass across tubes full of water, heating the tubes, which heat the water. A car radiator performs a similar function.It has a heat exchanger too, which warms incoming air with the heat of the outgoing air. Their item which ventilates the house does that, plus removing particulates from the incoming air. Probably it does the reverse when an air conditioner is operating.
The American Standard site you mention only carries heat pumps and air exchangers Maybe you got your title mixed up?
Are you talking about a heat pump? If you are, then it is highly inefficient if you have really cold winters. The performance dips to be equal or worse than a modern gas furnace at around freezing.
