Air exchanger (HRV/ERV) installation
In a well-insulated home, indoor air does not circulate properly. Humidity builds up, air quality drops, and your heating system works harder than it needs to. At Confort Prestige, our certified technicians install air exchangers (HRV/ERV) tailored to your home.

Why install an air exchanger (HRV/ERV) in your home
Modern homes are airtight. While this is great for energy efficiency, it hinders natural air circulation. Without mechanical ventilation, stale indoor air becomes trapped and moisture builds up, especially in the bathroom and kitchen.


HRV vs. ERV: What’s the difference and which one should you choose?
Heat Recovery Ventilators (HRV) and Energy Recovery Ventilators (ERV) operate on the same basic principle. The difference lies in how they manage humidity.
Every home is different. Our technicians evaluate your heating system, humidity levels, and home layout to recommend the HRV or ERV best suited to your needs.

Frequently asked questions




Maintenance and lifespan of an HRV/ERV
A well-maintained air exchanger typically lasts 15 to 20 years. Basic maintenance involves cleaning or replacing filters two to four times a year and inspecting the heat exchange core to prevent dust buildup. We recommend cleaning your ventilation ducts every three to five years to maintain air quality and system efficiency. An annual inspection by a technician also ensures proper airflow and helps extend the life of your unit.
