Ventilation Repair
We track down the real issue, not just clear a filter.
From weak airflow to icing cores to control board faults, we track down the real issue rather than just clearing a filter and calling it done. We service all makes and models of HRVs and ERVs.
Many repairs address symptoms without finding the underlying cause. We take the time to inspect the full system - fans, cores, controls, and ducting - so the fix actually lasts and your indoor air quality is protected.
- All HRV and ERV makes and brands serviced
- Full system diagnosis, not just filter swaps
- Indoor air quality expertise on every visit
Ventilation Replacement
Sized and balanced to your home, not a generic default.
We size and balance your HRV or ERV to your home's actual square footage and occupancy, not a generic default. Proper balancing between intake and exhaust is what actually protects your indoor air quality and humidity levels.
Here's what most contractors won't tell you: a ventilation unit that's technically running isn't always running correctly. Without proper balancing, you can be bringing in too much or too little fresh air, wasting energy and leaving humidity or air quality problems unresolved. We verify the balance on every install.
- Sized to actual square footage and occupancy
- Proper intake and exhaust balancing
- Indoor air quality and humidity protection
Ventilation Maintenance
Keep your system moving the air it's rated for.
Regular filter changes and core cleaning keep your system moving the air it's rated for. We check balance and airflow on every visit, since a unit that's technically running isn't always running correctly.
A well-maintained HRV or ERV uses less energy, moves more air, and protects your indoor air quality year after year. Neglected systems lose efficiency silently - you may not notice until humidity or air quality issues start showing up.
- Filter changes and core cleaning
- Balance and airflow verification on every visit
- Indoor air quality and humidity monitoring

Frequently Asked Questions
Ventilation questions, answered.
What's the difference between an HRV and an ERV?
An HRV (Heat Recovery Ventilator) transfers heat between incoming and outgoing air streams. An ERV (Energy Recovery Ventilator) does the same but also transfers moisture, making it better for homes with humidity concerns. We'll help you determine which is right for your home.
How do I know if my ventilation system needs balancing?
Signs of poor balancing include uneven humidity between rooms, stale air, excessive condensation on windows, or a unit that runs constantly without improving air quality. We check balance and airflow on every visit.
How do you size a replacement HRV or ERV?
We size based on your home's actual square footage and occupancy, not a generic default. Proper sizing ensures the unit moves enough air to maintain healthy indoor air quality without wasting energy.
How often should I maintain my ventilation system?
Regular filter changes and core cleaning should be done at least annually, ideally before the heating or cooling season. We check balance and airflow on every visit to make sure the system is running correctly, not just running.
What brands do you service?
We service all makes and models of HRVs and ERVs, including Carrier, Lennox, Trane, Ruud, and York.
How quickly can you come out?
