DEFINITION OF THE MONTH

HRV vs ERV?

The difference between the two is that an HRV transfers heat while an ERV transfers both heat and moisture.

The HRV (Heat Recovery Ventilator) is a balanced ventilation system which exhausts warm stale air, while also providing fresh air to the home. The heat from the stale outgoing air is used to warm up the fresh air coming from outside, hence its name.
The ERV (Energy Recovery Ventilator) also captures some of the humidity in the air to keep it on the same side of the thermal envelope that it came from.
