Why Every Ottawa Home Needs an HRV

Modern homes in Ottawa are built tight for energy efficiency — but that means stale, humid indoor air can build up quickly. A Heat Recovery Ventilator (HRV) continuously replaces stale air with fresh outdoor air while recovering up to 80% of the heat from outgoing air. The result: healthier indoor air without wasting energy.

Once a year at minimum — ideally in fall before the heating season. The core, filters, and drain pan should all be cleaned. Some households with pets or allergies benefit from twice-yearly service.
Yes — a furnace heats air but doesn't ventilate your home. In a tightly sealed modern Ottawa home, an HRV is essential to maintain healthy air quality and control humidity levels.
An HRV (Heat Recovery Ventilator) transfers heat only. An ERV (Energy Recovery Ventilator) transfers both heat and moisture. In Ottawa's cold, dry winters, an HRV is typically the right choice for most homes.
