HRV & ERV Cleaning
Professional HRV and ERV cleaning helps exchange stale indoor air with fresh outdoor air. Over time, these vital ventilation systems collect debris that reduces their efficiency and affects air quality. Our specialized cleaning restores peak performance and maximizes energy recovery throughout your space.
Understanding Ventilation Systems
These systems use a heat exchanger core to capture energy from outgoing air, making regular HRV & ERV cleaning essential for proper air exchange. Heat and energy recovery ventilators work differently from standard HVAC equipment. These systems use a heat exchanger core to capture energy from outgoing air while bringing in fresh outdoor air. The core’s intricate design requires specialized cleaning to maintain efficient heat transfer and proper air exchange.
HRV systems focus on heat recovery, making them ideal for colder climates where maintaining indoor warmth is crucial. ERV systems manage both heat and moisture transfer, helping control humidity levels year-round. Both types need regular maintenance to maintain their energy-saving benefits.
Air Quality and Energy Recovery
Your ventilation system continuously filters and exchanges air, removing stale indoor air while bringing in fresh outdoor air. This constant exchange helps remove indoor pollutants, cooking odors, and excess moisture. Clean components ensure this exchange happens efficiently, maintaining healthy indoor air quality.
The heat exchange core sits at the heart of your system. This component transfers heat energy between incoming and outgoing air streams. When dirt and debris collect on the core, both energy recovery and air flow suffer. Our cleaning restores proper heat transfer and system efficiency.
Our Specialized Approach
Our HRV and ERV cleaning service begins with inspecting your system’s core components and air paths. Our cleaning process addresses the heat exchanger core, filters, and ventilation passages. Special attention goes to condensate drains and air dampers that often collect debris and affect performance.
Each service includes thorough testing of air flow and system operation. We verify proper exhaust and supply function, ensuring your ventilation system maintains the right balance for optimal performance.

Performance Benefits
Professional HRV & ERV cleaning provides essential benefits for your indoor environment. Proper maintenance ensures efficient air exchange while maximizing energy recovery from exhausted air. Proper maintenance ensures efficient air exchange while maximizing energy recovery from exhausted air. Regular cleaning helps your system maintain comfort while reducing the load on your primary heating and cooling equipment.
- Energy Recovery: Clean heat exchanger cores transfer energy efficiently between air streams. This reduces heating and cooling costs by capturing energy from exhaust air before it leaves your space.
- Moisture Control: Proper ventilation removes excess humidity and prevents condensation issues. Clean components manage moisture levels effectively, reducing the risk of mold growth and maintaining comfort.
- Fresh Air Quality: Regular cleaning ensures your system effectively filters incoming air while removing indoor pollutants. This creates healthier indoor air, particularly important for those with respiratory concerns.
- System Longevity: Maintained ventilation systems run smoothly with less strain on motors and mechanical parts. Regular cleaning prevents expensive repairs and extends equipment life.
Seasonal Considerations
Ventilation systems face unique challenges each season. Summer brings higher humidity levels that can affect core efficiency. Winter creates temperature extremes that make energy recovery crucial. Regular cleaning helps your system handle these seasonal demands while maintaining consistent performance.
When to Schedule Service
Signs that your system needs HRV or ERV cleaning include reduced air flow from supply vents, unusual noise during operation, or difficulty maintaining comfortable humidity levels. Musty odors or excessive condensation also signal maintenance needs.
Annual cleaning maintains proper ventilation and energy recovery. Regular maintenance prevents performance issues while protecting indoor air quality. Schedule your service to keep your ventilation system working efficiently and effectively.

Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers about maintenance, indoor air quality benefits, system efficiency, and more.
Do I Really Need an Annual Heat Pump Cleaning?
Absolutely. Annual cleaning is essential to maintain your heat pump’s efficiency, much like changing the oil in a car. Without yearly maintenance, your mini-split heat pump has to work harder to meet your heating and cooling needs, causing increased wear and raising the risk of breakdowns. Regular maintenance helps prevent costly repairs and keeps your system performing at its best.
Will a Cleaning Fix the Problem with My System?
If your heat pump isn’t working correctly, or you’ve noticed water pooling, mold, or strange odors, a thorough cleaning can often solve these issues. However, if your system won’t turn on or shows error messages, additional service may be necessary. Regular deep cleanings help prevent these problems, restoring efficiency and enhancing performance.
Will Your Service Improve My Allergies and Indoor Air Quality?
Yes! Mini-split heat pumps continuously circulate air over the heat exchange coil, naturally gathering dust, mold, pollen, and other allergens. Our annual deep cleaning removes these contaminants, enhancing indoor air quality by preventing pollutants from recirculating in your home. Without this cleaning, the system can worsen indoor air by spreading these allergens.
I Clean My Filter Twice a Year; Isn’t That Enough?
No, it’s not enough. While cleaning your filter is important, it only addresses part of your system’s maintenance needs. Dust, mold, and debris also build up on internal components—such as coils, fans, and blower wheels—that filter cleaning doesn’t reach. Over time, this buildup restricts airflow, reduces efficiency, and can lead to costly repairs. A professional deep cleaning annually removes these hidden contaminants, keeping your heat pump operating safely, efficiently, and for a longer lifespan.
Do You Ever Subcontract Your Services?
No, we don’t subcontract our work. Every technician is directly trained and employed by us, ensuring consistent quality in every job. However, we do partner with installers who prefer not to handle maintenance themselves, providing our professional service as their maintenance partner. We uphold the same high standards and expertise in these partnerships, ensuring exceptional care for all our clients.
