Professional Ventilation Solutions for Healthier Homes
Modern homes are built tight for energy efficiency—which is great for utility bills but terrible for air quality. Without proper ventilation, indoor air becomes a stagnant soup of cooking odors, bathroom moisture, VOCs from furniture and cleaning products, and CO2 from human respiration. Okla-Home installs whole-home ventilation systems that bring fresh air in while exhausting stale air out, all while recovering energy to minimize heating and cooling costs.

Why Proper Ventilation Matters
Fresh Air Supply
Continuously brings fresh outdoor air into your home while exhausting stale indoor air, reducing pollutants and odors.
Moisture Control
Removes excess humidity from bathrooms and kitchens, preventing mold growth, musty odors, and structural damage.
Better Health
Reduces indoor air pollutants, allergens, and CO2 levels, creating a healthier environment for your family.
Energy Efficiency
Energy recovery ventilators capture heat/cooling from exhaust air, reducing the cost of conditioning fresh air.
Professional Ventilation Services in Tulsa, Broken Arrow & Surrounding Areas
Here's something most homeowners don't realize: your house might be slowly poisoning you. That sounds dramatic, but it's backed by EPA research showing indoor air is often 2-5 times more polluted than outdoor air—sometimes 100 times worse. The culprit? Modern construction techniques that seal homes tight for energy efficiency while providing no mechanism for fresh air to enter or stale air to exit.
Without proper ventilation, your home accumulates: cooking fumes and combustion byproducts, moisture from showers and breathing (family of four produces 3 gallons of water vapor daily), volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from furniture, carpets, and cleaning products, carbon dioxide from human and pet respiration, and formaldehyde, radon, and other off-gassing chemicals. Opening windows helps but wastes energy and brings in outdoor pollutants, pollen, and humidity.

Okla-Home installs whole-home ventilation systems that solve this problem mechanically—bringing fresh air in, exhausting stale air out, and recovering energy to keep utility bills low.
The Ventilation Services You Actually Need
We serve Tulsa, Broken Arrow, Bixby, and Owasso with professional ventilation solutions tailored to your specific needs. Not every home needs a whole-house ERV system (though many should have one). Sometimes the solution is simpler: properly sized bathroom exhaust fans, kitchen range hood that actually vents outside, or professional dryer vent cleaning.
During our assessment, we measure actual indoor air quality (CO2 levels, humidity, VOCs if needed), evaluate your home's tightness and existing ventilation, identify specific problem areas (musty bathrooms, cooking odor retention, etc.), and recommend solutions proportional to the problem. We won't sell you a $4,000 ERV if a $300 exhaust fan upgrade solves your issue. But we also won't install inadequate band-aids if your home truly needs whole-home ventilation.

Dryer Vent Cleaning: The Fire Hazard Hiding in Your Laundry Room
The U.S. Fire Administration reports nearly 3,000 dryer fires annually, causing 5 deaths, 100 injuries, and $35 million in property damage. The leading cause? Failure to clean dryer vents. Lint is extremely flammable, and when it accumulates in your dryer vent, it restricts airflow (making your dryer work harder and take longer), creates dangerous heat buildup that can ignite the lint, and forces your dryer to run hotter, shortening its lifespan significantly.
Professional dryer vent cleaning removes the lint that your dryer's lint trap misses—typically 30-50% of total lint production. We clean from both ends (dryer connection and exterior termination), inspect the entire vent run for damage or code violations, verify proper exterior termination (not into attic or crawlspace), and ensure adequate airflow after cleaning. If your vent run is excessively long, has multiple elbows, or uses improper materials (vinyl or foil flex duct), we'll recommend corrections to meet current fire codes.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between ERV and HRV ventilation systems?
ERV (Energy Recovery Ventilator) transfers both heat and moisture between incoming and outgoing air, ideal for humid climates like Oklahoma. HRV (Heat Recovery Ventilator) transfers only heat, better for dry climates. ERVs prevent outdoor humidity from entering in summer while maintaining indoor humidity in winter, making them the better choice for most Oklahoma homes.
How often should dryer vents be cleaned?
Dryer vents should be professionally cleaned annually for typical family use (1 load per day). Large families doing multiple loads daily should schedule cleaning every 6 months. Warning signs include longer drying times (2-3 cycles), excessive lint buildup, burning smell, dryer getting very hot, and musty smell on clothes. If you notice any warning signs, schedule cleaning immediately.
Do I need whole-home ventilation if I have an HVAC system?
Yes. Modern homes are built very tight for energy efficiency, which traps indoor air pollutants. Your HVAC system recirculates indoor air but doesn't bring in fresh outdoor air. Whole-home ventilation systems (ERV/HRV) continuously exchange stale indoor air with fresh outdoor air while recovering energy to minimize heating and cooling costs. This is essential for indoor air quality in tight, modern homes.
How much does an ERV/HRV system cost to install?
Whole-home ERV/HRV installation typically costs $2,500-$4,500 depending on system capacity, ductwork requirements, and complexity. This includes equipment, installation, ductwork integration, controls, and testing. Operating costs are typically $15-25/month for continuous operation. Many utility companies offer rebates for energy-efficient ventilation systems that can offset initial costs.
Why does my bathroom always smell musty even after cleaning?
Musty bathroom odors usually indicate inadequate ventilation allowing mold growth. Common causes include: undersized or non-functional exhaust fan, fan venting into attic instead of outside, inadequate runtime after showers, or moisture trapped in walls/ceiling from previous water damage. We can assess your bathroom ventilation and recommend appropriate upgrades to eliminate the problem.
Should my range hood vent outside or can it recirculate?
Range hoods should ALWAYS vent outside for maximum effectiveness. Recirculating hoods use charcoal filters to remove odors but don't remove moisture, heat, or combustion byproducts (from gas ranges). These contaminants spread throughout your home affecting air quality and comfort. We can often retrofit ductwork to convert recirculating hoods to proper exterior venting.
How can I tell if my home needs better ventilation?
Warning signs include: persistent musty or stale odors, excessive humidity or condensation on windows, mold growth in bathrooms or closets, difficulty sleeping or morning headaches (high CO2), excessive dust accumulation, and cooking odors that linger for hours. We offer professional indoor air quality assessments using monitoring equipment to measure CO2, humidity, and other parameters to determine if ventilation improvements are needed.
Will adding ventilation increase my utility bills?
Without energy recovery, yes—significantly. But ERV/HRV systems recover 70-80% of heating/cooling energy from exhaust air, dramatically reducing the cost of conditioning fresh air. Typical operating cost is $15-25/month compared to $100-150/month for mechanical ventilation without energy recovery. The energy recovery feature makes fresh air affordable while improving indoor air quality and comfort.
