ERV (Energy Recovery Ventilator)
- Transfers heat <em>and</em> moisture
- Helps stabilize indoor humidity year-round
- Great for homes that get too dry in winter or humid in summer
Breathe Cleaner, Healthier Ventilation
Fresh air in, stale air out—balanced ventilation that manages humidity, removes pollutants, and boosts comfort.
Understanding HVAC Ventilation
Fresh Air, Proper Balance, Better Health
Ventilation systems circulate fresh outdoor air, exhaust stale indoor air, and help regulate humidity. Done right, they dilute indoor pollutants (like CO₂, VOCs, and odors), reduce moisture that can lead to mold, and improve year-round comfort for the whole home.
- Introduces outdoor air while exhausting stale air
- Helps control humidity to prevent mold and condensation
- Supports better indoor air quality (IAQ) and comfort
Room-by-Room Control
Smart Air Vents
Smart vents let you fine-tune airflow in specific rooms to fix hot/cold spots and reduce wasted energy. Some models include onboard sensors; others use local hubs or cloud services for automation. Prefer no subscriptions? We can spec options that use local control only.
- Target problem rooms without changing ductwork
- Automations by schedule, temperature, or occupancy
- Local-control options to avoid recurring fees
Improve Weak Airflow
Booster Air Vents
If a room receives marginal airflow, an inline or register-style booster can pull more conditioned air into that space. These units are powered and designed to work alongside existing duct runs for a simple, effective upgrade.
- Great for long duct runs and finished basements
- Register or inline styles available
- Requires a nearby power source
Balanced Ventilation
Energy Recovery (ERV) vs Heat Recovery (HRV)
Both systems exchange stale indoor air for fresh outdoor air while recovering energy from exhaust air. The right choice depends on your climate and humidity goals.
HRV (Heat Recovery Ventilator)
- Transfers heat only (no moisture transfer)
- Slight efficiency edge in very cold, dry climates
- Ideal when you want fresh air without adding indoor humidity
Flexible Installation
ERVs/HRVs can be tied into existing return ducts or set up with dedicated ducting. We’ll recommend the best configuration based on your home, noise targets, and airflow balance.
