'Home Diagnosis' co-host Corbett Lunsford visits the home of AirCycler's Jason Wolfson to discuss and test the 3 simplest, quickest methods to ventilate any home: exhaust only (1:26), supply only (5:02), and exhaust + supply (8:51) using an AirCycler G2 controller. Tested using the Testo 440 kit from TruTech Tools.
The holidays are right around the corner! With extra cooking going on and gatherings happening all the time, it's an important time to make sure you're keeping your home, family members and guests safe and comfortable by ventilating right. Young children and older adults are especially vulnerable to poor indoor air quality and pollutants.
Here a few common poor indoor air quality culprits and what to do about them...

Once in a while we get questions from the field regarding NEC 725.136 and the installation of the FanConnect™ switch. Specifically, whether or not Class 3 cable is sufficient for installation. The answer is yes, and we've enlisted the help of code expert Mike Holt of Mike Holt Enterprises to explain. See his answer here
It is a common misconception that mechanical ventilation without recovery will cost a homeowner hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars a year in energy costs. If we tighten up a home and then put a 6"hole in the wall and bring in outside air, we must be running the electric bill through the roof. The truth is, we're actually talking tens of dollars - a year - in most cases. Take my home for example: I live in New England in a roughly 2,000 square foot home with oil heat. I got an estimate of $38-$144/year to operate an AirCycler® g2-k, depending on the tightness of my home. That’s roughly $3-$12/month. How do we know? We calculated it.
