What is an HRV?
A Heat Recovery Ventilator (HRV) exchanges stale indoor air with fresh outdoor air while recovering up to 80% of the heat from the outgoing air. This gives you fresh air without the energy loss of simply opening a window.
Why Calgary Homes Need HRV Systems
Modern homes are built very tight for energy efficiency — which is great for heating bills but terrible for air quality. Without proper ventilation, humidity, CO2, and pollutants build up indoors.
Signs You Need an HRV
- Condensation on windows in winter
- Stuffy or stale air feeling
- Excessive dust buildup
- Family members with allergies or asthma
- Home built after 2000 (tight construction)
Cost and Installation
HRV installation in Calgary typically costs $1,500–$2,500 including equipment and labour. Most installations take one day. Ask about available rebates that can offset the cost.
