Question from Miemiemuis
We are considering adding an air exchanger to our air conditioning unit since I like the idea of having fresh air come in, instead of recycling the same inside air. Since we live in Florida we have the A/C on for about 6 months out of the year.

Do you think it is worth it or will an efficient air filter do just as good?
Thanks,
Marie

I’m not sure I understand your question.
1) Some air conditioners bring in outside air, others don’t.
2) An air exchanger brings in fresh air.
3) An air filter is designed to filter the existing air and some air filters also bring in outside air.
So first check and see how much air is being brought in by your air conditioner, then choose whether you want an air exchanger or an air filter that brings in air to supplement the air being brought in by the air conditioner.
