ERVs transfer both heat and moisture, helping to balance humidity in warm or humid climates. HRVs transfer only heat, making them ideal for colder, drier climates.
Energy or Heat Recovery Ventilators (ERV & HRV)
Energy or Heat Recovery Ventilators (ERVs and HRVs) replace stale, polluted indoor air with a continuous supply of fresh outdoor air, helping improve moisture control, reduce odors, and support healthier indoor environments. ERVs transfer both heat and humidity to keep your home balanced, while HRVs focus on heat recovery and can connect directly to your existing forced-air ductwork so both systems operate together for efficient whole-home ventilation. By improving air circulation and reducing strain on your equipment, these systems help extend the life of your HVAC system, reduce cooking, bathroom, and pet odors, remove indoor toxins through filtration, and boost overall energy efficiency in your home or building.
