Everything You Need to Know About HRV and ERV Systems

Are you unsure if you need to adopt and HRV or ERV system in your home? We know that many people don’t understand the importance of one of these systems, but they really are a worthwhile investment for your home. We know that the technology that goes into heat recovery and energy recovery ventilators can be a little confusing, but we’re going to lay it all out for you today.

Heat and energy recovery ventilators are two pretty similar devices. They both bring in either pre-heated or pre-cooled into your home. The HRV and ERV systems draw two currents into it. The two currents then move through the unit and the heat moves from one to the other by a process of counterflow heat exchange.

When your pre-cooled or pre-heated air enters your home, the stale and pollutant filled air is pushed outdoors. Your HRV or ERV system can work for your home in the summer or in the winter. The entire purpose of the indoor air quality system is to “recover” the energy and apply it to the fresh air coming into your home. These are great systems to invest in.
