How often should an HRV be cleaned?

For optimal performance and air quality, HRV systems should undergo a full professional cleaning annually.

How long does the service take?

A standard HRV cleaning and maintenance service takes about 1.5 to 2 hours.

What happens if I neglect my HRV?

Neglected units often develop mold in the core, fail to control indoor humidity, and circulate poor-quality air throughout your home.

How much does the cleaning cost?

Our comprehensive HRV and air exchange cleaning starts at $379.

What is the difference between an HRV and ERV?

An HRV transfers only heat, while an ERV (Energy Recovery Ventilator) transfers both heat and moisture. We service both types of systems.

What is HRV & Air Exchange Cleaning?

HRV (Heat Recovery Ventilator) and air exchange cleaning involves a thorough deep clean of the heat recovery core, filters, blowers, case, and the connected ductwork. These systems exchange stale indoor air with fresh outdoor air while recovering heat. When dirty, they fail to ventilate properly and can even contaminate your incoming air supply.

Why It Matters

HRV systems should be professionally cleaned annually. A neglected unit can become a breeding ground for mold and bacteria, contaminating your home's air supply. It also leads to humidity issues, condensation on windows, and a significant drop in energy efficiency as the core gets clogged with dust and grease.
