There are two preferred systems for ventilating your home. Both systems are considered balanced ventilation systems, and their purpose is to deliver fresh air to the living areas of your home. When compared to exhaust-only or fan-integrated ventilation systems, either an HRV (heat-recovery ventilator) or ERV (energy-recovery ventilator) will offer lower operating cost in addition to providing effective ventilation. They'll also help heat or cool your home, depending on the season.
