Fresh-Air Ventilation (ERV/HRV) in Kent: what's different
Fresh-Air Ventilation (ERV/HRV) in Kent is shaped by local conditions. Damp winters: Ventilation and sealed ducts help prevent condensation and mold.
Most homes have gas furnaces or electric baseboard heat, and central AC is uncommon in older homes. Heat pumps are increasingly common in new homes and replacements. East Hill and Lake Meridian subdivisions from the 1970s to 1990s often have gas furnaces with ducts in crawl spaces, while valley-floor homes near the Green River sit in an area that once flooded regularly. For fresh-Air Ventilation (ERV/HRV), that means the contractor should start with assess and confirm what is actually installed before quoting. Another local pattern worth mentioning to the tech: baseboard heat costs. Homes with electric baseboard can cut bills by switching to ductless heat pumps.
The City of Kent Permit Center issues mechanical permits, and Washington licenses HVAC contractors through the Department of Labor and Industries. Puget Sound Energy has offered rebates.
