What is Make-Up Air?

In Massachusetts, Make-up air is the law. In this video, you will learn what the law is, why it's so important especially in new construction, and the best make-up air solutions. Even if you don’t have a make-up air law in your state or country, you should still install the appropriate make-up air system in your house for better air quality. Make-up air is fresh outdoor air sent back into your home “Made Up” when the air from inside is pushed out from a ventilation fan. In the past, this wasn't a primary concern because most homes allowed air into the home naturally through windows and other spaces. This is where you need to “make up” for the air loss when operating a higher CFM range hood. Let's say you have a new high output professional gas range and turn on your high 1000 CFM hood. In older homes, the air was made up through drafty windows and other areas where air could enter your home. That's not the case for new construction. Your high CFM hood (which is a smart choice given the range) has just created an unhealthy environment for you and your family. Air will eventually find a way by itself and will be made up from your furnace, heating system, attic or garage. You do not want to be breathing that bad air. The key in solving the make-up dilemma is planning in advance either by handling it globally through your HVAC or by cutting hole 10 feet from your hood on the other side of your kitchen. It's certainly worth the investment in keeping a better quality of air in your house. --------- Interested in learning more?
