ERV & Fresh Air Ventilation in Utah

500+ Reviews

Modern homes are built tight for energy efficiency — but that means stale air, elevated CO2, and trapped pollutants have nowhere to go. An Energy Recovery Ventilator (ERV) solves this by continuously exchanging stale indoor air with fresh outdoor air while recovering up to 80% of the heating or cooling energy. You get fresh air without the energy penalty of opening windows.

The Details

What You Need to Know

An ERV uses a heat exchanger core to transfer heat and moisture between the outgoing stale air and the incoming fresh air. In winter, it recovers heat from exhaust air to pre-warm the fresh air coming in. In summer, it pre-cools incoming air using the conditioned exhaust. This means fresh ventilation without a spike in your energy bill.

We size ERVs based on your home's square footage, number of occupants, and building tightness. ASHRAE 62.2 ventilation standards require a specific amount of fresh air per person — most homes fall far short. After installation, we balance airflow and verify the ERV is meeting ventilation targets with a flow hood measurement.

ERVs are especially valuable in Utah during inversion season. When outdoor air quality is poor, the ERV can be set to recirculate mode or paired with MERV 13 filtration on the intake. During wildfire season, the intake filter captures smoke particulates before they enter your home. The rest of the year, it provides continuous fresh air exchange.

Got Questions?

ERV & Fresh Air Ventilation FAQ

?What's the difference between an ERV and HRV?
An ERV (Energy Recovery Ventilator) transfers both heat and moisture between airstreams. An HRV (Heat Recovery Ventilator) transfers heat only. In Utah's dry climate, an ERV is usually preferred because it retains indoor moisture during winter heating season.
?How much does an ERV cost?
ERV unit and installation typically runs $2,000-$4,500 depending on home size, ductwork requirements, and unit capacity. Operating costs are minimal — the fan uses about the same energy as a bathroom exhaust fan.
?Will an ERV help during inversion season?
Yes and no. The ERV brings in outdoor air, which during inversions may be poor quality. However, we install a MERV 13 filter on the intake to capture particulates. During severe inversions, you can also switch the ERV to recirculate mode.
?Does my home need an ERV?
If your home was built after 2000, has been air-sealed or weatherized, or if you notice stuffiness, condensation on windows, or elevated CO2 (above 1000 ppm), your home likely doesn't have adequate ventilation. An ERV is the most energy-efficient solution.
?How noisy is an ERV?
Modern ERVs are very quiet — typically 30-40 dB at low speed, which is quieter than a refrigerator. We install them in utility rooms, attics, or basements where any fan noise is isolated from living areas.
