Optimize Your Heat Recovery Ventilator for Cleaner Air and Energy Efficiency

Your HRV (Heat Recovery Ventilator) is designed to exchange stale indoor air with fresh outdoor air while recovering heat to maintain energy efficiency. This system plays a vital role in reducing indoor pollutants, managing humidity, and ensuring a healthier living environment. However, when dirt and debris accumulate in the air exchangers, filters, or ventilation pathways, the system’s efficiency and air quality can decline. At Allstar Heating & Cooling, we offer professional HRV cleaning services in Saint John, Quispamsis, Rothesay, and Southern New Brunswick to ensure your system operates at peak performance and delivers clean, fresh air throughout your home.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: How does HRV cleaning improve air quality and energy efficiency?

A: When air exchangers are clogged, the system struggles to draw in fresh air, leading to higher energy costs and diminished air quality. Cleaning the HRV ensures it uses less electricity and effectively circulates clean air throughout your home.

Q: What are common signs that an HRV needs cleaning?

A: If you notice more dust in your home, condensation on windows, or lingering odors, it’s time to schedule an HRV cleaning.

Q: Do HRVs bring in cold air during winter?

A: No, HRVs have a heated core that warms the fresh air before it enters your home, maintaining a comfortable indoor temperature.

Q: Can an HRV take care of humidity in my basement?

A: While HRVs help manage humidity, a dehumidifier is recommended for basements to address excessive moisture more effectively.

Q: What should I do to maintain my HRV between cleanings?

A: To maintain your HRV system between professional cleanings, check and clean your filters seasonally to prevent buildup, adjust your HRV settings for optimal performance throughout the year, and monitor your indoor air quality to ensure the system is operating effectively.
