How Energy Recovery Ventilators Work

ERV systems help maintain fresh indoor air without wasting heating or cooling energy. These advanced ventilation systems exchange stale indoor air with fresh outdoor air while capturing heat and moisture to maintain balanced humidity levels. This process prevents excessive dryness in winter and excess humidity in summer, creating a more comfortable and energy-efficient living space. ERVs are particularly beneficial for well-insulated, tightly sealed homes where natural ventilation is limited.

ERV Maintenance and Repairs

Like any HVAC component, ERVs require regular maintenance to ensure peak performance. Over time, filters and ventilation pathways can become clogged with dust and debris, reducing system efficiency. Our expert technicians provide routine inspections, cleaning, and repairs to keep your ERV functioning at its best. If your system is not circulating air properly or showing signs of inefficiency, we quickly diagnose and resolve the issue to restore optimal indoor air quality.

Types of Energy Recovery Ventilators

Sound Heating & Air Conditioning recommends products from both major types of Energy Recovery Ventilators. The first type of ventilator is the “heat recovery ventilator” or HRV. The second type of energy recovery ventilator is an “enthalpy recovery ventilator” or ERV.

Both systems do the same work by using a heat exchanger to shift heat from either indoor or outdoor air to the other. Most of these systems are centrally mounted with individual duct systems, though we also provide a number of small window–mounted options for single room ventilation.

In terms of differences between the two types of ventilators, an HRV works by transferring heat only while the ERV will transfer water vapor along with the heat. By transferring moisture with the heat, the ERV is able to maintain humidity in your house along with the temperature.
