ERV & HRV System Installation Services

Ensure healthy indoor air quality with a reliable air-exchange system

If your home has been air sealed for better comfort and energy efficiency, installing an HRV (heat recovery ventilator) or ERV (energy recovery ventilator) could be a smart choice to maintain optimal indoor air quality.

In older buildings, air naturally flows in and out through gaps, cracks, and openings, allowing for uncontrolled air exchange. However, in an energy-efficient home with a tightly sealed building envelope, indoor air can become stagnant and even harmful, trapping odors from cooking and other pollutants. HRVs and ERVs solve this issue by exchanging stale indoor air with fresh outdoor air. These systems are compatible with forced-air heating and cooling setups, ensuring a steady flow of clean air.

HRVs & ERVs optimize heat and humidity transfer for energy efficiency

So what happens when your HRV expels warm indoor air and pulls in cold outside air during winter? As shown in the image above, the HRV forces the warm outgoing air and cold incoming air streams to pass closely, separated by only a thin membrane. This allows a significant amount of heat from the exhaust air to transfer to the incoming air, effectively preheating it before it enters your heating system's ducts.

In the summer, the process reverses, with the HRV cooling incoming air. If humidity is a concern, you may opt with an ERV over an HRV since they also reduce the amount of humidity entering the home from outside.

Whole House Fan Installation Services

A whole house fan is a large fan that circulates air in a home by pulling in cool air from windows and exhausting hot air through the attic and roof.

The Benefits of Whole House/Attic Fans

  • Whole house fans improve ventilation by lowering the concentration of indoor pollutants like volatile organic compounds (VOCs), dust, allergens, pet dander, and cooking odors. By exchanging indoor air with fresh outdoor air several times per hour, these fans can significanty improve indoor air quality.

  • While whole house fans work well in tandem with heat pumps and air conditioners, when used alone they consume far less energy. This makes them an efficient option for maintaining comfort in moderate weather.

  • By reducing the number of hours you run your AC, whole house fans can help cut your energy costs by as much as 70%.

  • These fans enhance the comfort of your home by providing a natural cooling effect that’s difficult to achieve with traditional AC systems.

  • Integrating a whole house fan with your HVAC system can extend its lifespan. By circulating cool or warm air more effectively, the fan reduces the overall workload on your heating and cooling systems.

Home Air Filter Replacement and Installation Services

HVAC filters, or home air filters, play a key role in maintaining indoor air quality. Additionally, they help minimize wear and tear on your heating and cooling systems. However, for them to be effective, they need to be properly sized and replaced regularly.
