Should I get an HRV or ERV for my Home?

This is a common questions many of our customers have. The difference between an HRV and an ERV in simple terms is whether you want to remove humidity or keep the humidity in your home.

Heat Recovery Ventilator - Heat Recovery Ventilators (HRV) are an excellent choice for homeowners seeking to remove excess humidity inside their home. A heat recovery ventilator brings in fresh air from the outside, warms up that fresh air using the HRV core (heat exchanger) then distributes it to the rooms inside your home. At the same time, an HRV exhausts the old stale air from the rooms in your home and exhausts that stale air to an exhaust outlet venting outside.

Energy Recovery Ventilator - Energy Recovery Ventilators (ERV) are a great choice for homeowners living in dryer climates or homeowners looking to maintain the humidity in certain rooms of their home. If you notice your home is dry, then an ERV might be a good choice for you and your family!
