Heat and Energy Recovery Ventilators (HRVs and ERVs) are advanced ventilation systems designed to improve indoor air quality while maintaining energy efficiency. They work by exchanging stale indoor air with fresh outdoor air while recovering heat (and in ERVs, both heat and moisture) from the outgoing air stream.
These systems are commonly used in residential homes, commercial buildings, schools, and energy-efficient properties where controlled ventilation and reduced HVAC energy loss are important.

FAQ
What is a heat recovery ventilator? It is a system that exchanges indoor and outdoor air while recovering heat energy from outgoing air.
What is the difference between HRV and ERV? HRV transfers heat only, while ERV transfers both heat and moisture.
Do I need a ventilator if I have an HVAC system? Yes. Ventilators improve fresh air circulation and indoor air quality.
Are HRV/ERV systems energy efficient? Yes. They reduce heating and cooling losses from ventilation.
Do they require maintenance? Yes. Filters and cores should be cleaned or replaced regularly.
