Fresh air in. Stale air out. Heat stays.
Tight, well-sealed homes need to breathe. ERV and HRV systems exchange indoor air for fresh outdoor air — without throwing away your heating dollars.
An HRV (heat recovery ventilator) exhausts stale indoor air and brings in fresh air while recovering the heat — ideal for colder climates like ours. An ERV also transfers moisture, helping control humidity. Burt’s Breeze installs and maintains both across Coldwater and Simcoe County.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between an ERV and an HRV?
An HRV primarily exhausts stale indoor air while bringing in fresh air, recovering the heat — ideal for colder climates. An ERV also transfers moisture along with heat, helping control humidity levels.
How do I know if my home needs an ERV or HRV?
Poor indoor air quality, persistent humidity or condensation, or uneven temperatures are the signs. A professional assessment determines which system fits your home.
Can I install an ERV or HRV myself?
Installation requires specialized knowledge — balancing, ducting and controls — to work properly. Have a qualified HVAC technician handle the setup.
How often should I maintain my ERV or HRV?
Every 1–2 years — filters and heat-exchange cores need cleaning to keep airflow and recovery efficiency where they should be.
