Heat Recovery Ventilation
WHAT IS HEAT RECOVERY VENTILATION COMPARED WITH ENERGY RECOVERY VENTILATION?
The easiest way to understand this is that a heat recovery ventilation system exchanges fresh air from outside your property and uses the heat of the indoor air to heat the outside air as it comes in. Great during winter but during the summer you would want the heat to be exchanged the other way around. An Energy Recover Ventilation system does exactly this.

FAQs for Zephyr’s Heat Recovery Ventilation (HRV) Services:
What is Heat Recovery Ventilation (HRV)?
Heat Recovery Ventilation (HRV) is a system that improves indoor air quality by exchanging stale indoor air with fresh outdoor air while recovering heat energy to maintain a comfortable temperature.
How does an HRV system work?
An HRV system extracts stale air from inside your home, transfers its heat to the incoming fresh air through a heat exchanger, and circulates the warmed fresh air throughout your home. This process improves ventilation efficiency and reduces energy loss.
What are the benefits of installing an HRV system?
Improved indoor air quality by removing pollutants and allergens Enhanced energy efficiency by recovering heat from outgoing air Reduced condensation and mold growth Consistent airflow and temperature control throughout your home
Is an HRV system suitable for all types of homes?
Yes, HRV systems can be installed in new homes, older homes, apartments, and commercial buildings. Zephyr’s experts can assess your space and recommend a tailored solution.
How is HRV different from ERV (Energy Recovery Ventilation)?
HRV primarily recovers heat from outgoing air, whereas ERV also regulates humidity levels by transferring moisture between incoming and outgoing air. ERV is ideal for humid climates, while HRV is better suited for colder regions.
Does an HRV system reduce heating and cooling costs?
Yes! HRV systems reduce energy costs by recovering up to 90% of the heat from outgoing air, minimizing the need for additional heating or cooling.
How often should I maintain or clean my HRV system?
Regular maintenance is essential for optimal performance. Filters should be cleaned or replaced every 3-6 months, and the heat exchanger should be inspected annually by a professional.
Can an HRV system help with allergies and respiratory issues?
Absolutely! HRV systems filter out dust, pollen, and other airborne pollutants, providing cleaner, fresher air, which can benefit those with allergies, asthma, or respiratory conditions.
How long does it take to install an HRV system?
Installation time varies based on home size and complexity, but most systems can be installed within a day or two. Zephyr’s team ensures a seamless, professional installation process.
How can I get a quote for an HRV system?
You can request a free consultation and quote by visiting Zephyr Ventilation’s website or contacting their expert team directly.
