It may be electric or hydronic.
To determine the right size ventilation unit for your space, you will need to consider the square footage of the room, the number of occupants, and the type of activities taking place in the room. You can also consult with a HVAC professional for a more accurate calculation.
When identifying a ventilation unit, some important factors to consider include the size and layout of the space, the ventilation needs of the occupants, and the type of pollutants or contaminants present in the air.
You can determine if a ventilation unit is energy-efficient by checking its Energy Star rating or looking at its energy efficiency ratio (EER) and seasonal energy efficiency ratio (SEER). A higher EER and SEER indicate a more energy-efficient unit.
Some common types of ventilation units include exhaust fans, supply fans, heat recovery ventilators (HRVs), and energy recovery ventilators (ERVs). Each type serves a different purpose and may be more suitable for different spaces.
It is recommended to have your ventilation unit serviced at least once a year by a professional HVAC technician. However, if you notice any issues with the unit or a decrease in its efficiency, it is important to have it serviced as soon as possible.
