Heat Recovery Ventilator (HRV) Installation

 

An HRV system is an essential component for a healthy and energy-efficient home, especially in modern, tightly sealed buildings. It works by continuously exchanging stale, polluted indoor air with fresh outdoor air.

How it Works: The HRV system has two air streams that pass through a central heat exchange core. As the warm, stale indoor air is exhausted, it transfers its heat to the incoming cold, fresh outdoor air, all without the two air streams ever mixing. In the summer, the process reverses, pre-cooling the incoming air. This process significantly reduces the energy needed to heat or cool your home, leading to lower utility bills.

Benefits of Installation:

• Improved Air Quality: Removes indoor pollutants, allergens, and excess humidity, creating a healthier living environment.

• Energy Savings: Recovers heat that would otherwise be lost, reducing the workload on your HVAC system and lowering energy costs.

• Enhanced Comfort: Balances humidity levels and provides a constant supply of fresh air, preventing stuffiness and drafts.

• Protects Your Home: By controlling humidity, HRVs help prevent condensation, mold, and potential damage to your home's structure.

The Installation Process: A professional HRV installation involves careful planning and execution. Our certified technicians will assess your home's ventilation needs and design a system that is properly sized for your space. The installation typically includes:

• Mounting the HRV unit in a suitable location.

• Installing a network of dedicated ducts to draw stale air from high-moisture areas (like kitchens and bathrooms) and supply fresh air to living spaces and bedrooms.

• Connecting the system to a power source and a condensate drain.

• Balancing and commissioning the system to ensure optimal airflow and performance.

Trust our experienced team to install your HRV system with precision, ensuring it operates efficiently and provides you with a healthier, more comfortable home for years to come.
