Heat & Energy Recovery Ventilators

What Are Heat and Energy Recovery Ventilators?

HRVs and ERVs are advanced ventilation systems designed to improve air circulation and energy efficiency in homes and commercial spaces. These systems work by expelling stale, humid indoor air while bringing in fresh, filtered outdoor air. The key difference between the two lies in moisture transfer: HRVs transfer heat energy while ERVs transfer both heat and moisture, making ERVs ideal for humid climates.

By using a heat exchanger, these systems recover a significant portion of the energy that would otherwise be lost through standard ventilation. This means that during the winter, your home retains warmth, and in the summer, it stays cool, all while ensuring a continuous supply of fresh air. With an HRV or ERV, you can enjoy improved indoor air quality, reduced humidity levels, and lower energy bills.

Benefits of Improving Ventilation Efficiency

Proper ventilation is crucial for both comfort and health. A well-functioning HRV or ERV system offers numerous advantages, including:

• Better Indoor Air Quality – By continuously exchanging stale air with fresh air, these systems help remove allergens, pollutants, and excess humidity, reducing the risk of respiratory issues and mold growth.
• Increased Energy Efficiency – Traditional ventilation methods can lead to significant heat loss, driving up energy costs. HRVs and ERVs recover energy, allowing your heating and cooling system to work more efficiently and saving you money.
• Balanced Humidity Levels – ERVs are particularly beneficial for controlling humidity levels, preventing excessive dryness in winter and reducing excess moisture in summer.
• Improved Comfort – With a consistent flow of fresh, tempered air, you’ll experience a more comfortable and healthy indoor environment year-round.
