A Heating Recovery Ventilator or HRV is an independent unit installed close to an exterior wall. It can have its own ductwork or work in cooperation with the ducts of a forced-air furnace system.

As home construction progressed and became more energy-efficient, they also created an air-tight atmosphere. As a result, the indoor air gets stale and traps harmful particles for us to breathe in.

HRVs replace the stale indoor air in the home with fresh air from outside. In addition, these units are energy efficient as they re-use the heat from outgoing air to heat air coming from outside.

They add to a green home status, but they help remove airborne pollutants, mould, chemicals, bacteria, and excess moisture.

According to studies, the optimal recommended humidity for a home is 40-60%. Yet depending on the time of year and climate, humidity fluctuates, making this range challenging to maintain.

Professionally installed humidifiers and dehumidifiers help maintain your home's humidity without running additional appliances.

Not only does the proper humidity level help your house plants thrive and keep your hardwood furniture or floors from drying out, but it helps remove excess condensation. It also helps reduce must odours from basements or damp areas, reduce pests and dust mites, and reduces mould and mildew.

There are many health benefits, too, including improving the following:

• respiratory issues
• dry skin
• allergies
• nose bleeds
• eye irritation
• snoring

Air quality is more important than ever. With the threat of airborne illnesses and pollutants on our minds, one can't help but look for ways to protect our homes and loved ones better.
