HRV & ERV Ventilation Systems

Heat Recovery Ventilation (HRV)

Energy Recovery Ventilation systems in Barrie, Collingwood, and Orillia provide fresh air exchange while also managing indoor humidity levels. ERVs transfer both heat and moisture between incoming and outgoing air streams, helping maintain more stable indoor humidity throughout the year. ERV systems are especially effective in homes where humidity control is important alongside ventilation. By reducing excess dryness in winter and limiting humidity transfer in warmer months, ERVs support consistent comfort and improved indoor air quality.

FAQs

  • What is the difference between an HRV and an ERV? An HRV transfers heat only, while an ERV transfers both heat and moisture, allowing for better humidity control.
  • Do HRV and ERV systems run all the time? They can operate continuously or on a schedule, depending on system setup and ventilation needs.
  • Are HRV and ERV systems required in new homes? Many modern building codes require mechanical ventilation in tightly sealed homes, making HRV or ERV systems necessary.
  • Can HRV and ERV systems improve indoor air quality? Yes. These systems help remove stale air, pollutants, and odors while bringing in filtered outdoor air.
  • Do HRV and ERV systems need maintenance? Yes. Filters and cores should be cleaned or replaced regularly to maintain performance and air quality.
