HRV/ERV Systems

Fresh air.
Efficient home.
HRV and ERV systems bring fresh air into your home while recovering energy — improving air quality without wasting heat.
What Are HRV and ERV Systems?

HRV (Heat Recovery Ventilator)

Exchanges stale indoor air with fresh outdoor air while transferring heat between the two streams. Ideal for cold, dry climates.

ERV (Energy Recovery Ventilator)

Similar to HRV, but also transfers moisture — helping maintain humidity levels. Better for climates with humid summers.

Both systems improve indoor air quality while minimizing energy loss.

FAQs

What's the difference between HRV and ERV?

HRV transfers heat only. ERV transfers heat AND moisture. For Niagara's climate, HRV is typically recommended for most homes.

How often should I clean my HRV/ERV?

Filters should be checked every 1-3 months and cleaned or replaced as needed. Full professional service is recommended every 6-12 months.

Do I need an HRV if I have a furnace?

Yes — they serve different purposes. Your furnace heats air; an HRV provides fresh air ventilation. They work together.
