The Basics of HRVs and ERVs
At Barron Heating AC Electrical & Plumbing, we often recommend Heat Recovery Ventilators (HRVs) and Energy Recovery Ventilators (ERVs) to homeowners in Bellingham and Northwestern Washington who want to improve indoor air quality without sacrificing energy efficiency. These systems bring in fresh, filtered outdoor air while exhausting stale, contaminated indoor air—and they do it without losing valuable heating or cooling energy in the process.
The key difference between the two lies in moisture control. HRVs transfer only heat, making them ideal for colder, drier climates where added humidity isn’t a concern. On the other hand, ERVs transfer both heat and moisture, which helps balance humidity levels. This makes them better suited for homes with excessive dryness or that need better moisture management. Our team can help you determine which system best fits your home’s needs based on your climate, comfort preferences, and indoor air quality goals.
The Benefits of HRV/ERV Installation
Adding an HRV or ERV to your home offers several performance and comfort benefits. We ensure each system is properly matched to your heating and cooling equipment and home layout for optimal results. Here’s what you can expect from a professionally installed ventilation system:
- Continuous fresh air without opening windows or compromising energy efficiency
- Improved indoor air quality by reducing indoor pollutants, allergens, and moisture buildup
- Lower heating and cooling costs thanks to heat or energy recovery during ventilation
- Balanced humidity levels, especially with an ERV system, to reduce static, dry skin, and wood damage
- Reduced mold and mildew risks by preventing stale, damp air from building up in your home
- Healthier living environment for those with allergies, asthma, or other respiratory conditions
- Support for tightly sealed, energy-efficient homes that require proper ventilation
When installed by our experienced technicians, these systems integrate seamlessly with your HVAC system for year-round comfort and cleaner, healthier air.
