What an HRV is

 An HRV (Heat Recovery Ventilator) helps bring fresh outdoor air into your home while exhausting stale indoor air. It improves indoor air quality and helps manage humidity—especially in tighter homes or homes that feel stuffy.

Good for:

• Stale air or “heavy” indoor air
   
• Condensation on windows
   
• Humidity issues
   
• Homes that feel dusty or uneven
   
• Bedrooms/basements that don’t get enough fresh air

 We offer complete HRV installs, service, repairs, and maintenance to keep your ventilation system running the way it should. If your HRV is noisy, not moving air properly, icing up, or not controlling humidity, we can diagnose the issue and get it operating correctly again. Regular maintenance helps your HRV stay efficient and prevents airflow problems—this typically includes filter inspection/cleaning or replacement, core inspection/cleaning (as needed), drain and condensate checks, fan operation checks, and a basic performance check. We also provide HRV balancing (airflow balancing), which is key to proper performance. By measuring and adjusting airflow, we make sure your system is set up correctly for your home—helping reduce humidity issues, improve comfort, and keep ventilation consistent. 

  Regular maintenance keeps your HRV operating efficiently and helps prevent airflow problems.
