Just for the record my house has more leaks than Wiki but thanks for
the suggestion.

Fix the leaks and then properly modulate the air exchange for health.

Unless your house is much larger, in which case you need something
more like these: http://goo.gl/5fipl or

Can't imagine living in a house wrapped and caulked so tight that
every time the dog farts your ears pop. Like living in a submarine.

Quite the evocative description, Ger.

It sounds illogical but there's a method to their madness. A thermal
exchange unit, it warms the air as it breathes in winter so it doesn't
cost you an arm and a leg for your air leaks. Regular leaks leak hot
air out and suck cold air in indiscrimately, perhaps into one room
alone. They cost lots of HVAC time to recover from.


So then you need a $3000 snorkel to breathe.

The bigun was a 600cfm monster for a bigass megaMcMansion, methinks.
The littleun (60cfm, $321) would work for my 1,500s/f home.
