Heat & Energy Recovery Ventilator Installation

ERV / HRV Systems in Austin

A newer-home solution most people have not heard of — here is what it does for a tight Austin build.

The Tight-House Problem

A well-sealed Austin home keeps conditioned air in, but it also traps stale air, CO2, cooking odors, and humidity. Cracking a window throws away your cooling. A recovery ventilator solves the trade-off.

How Recovery Works

An ERV or HRV exchanges stale indoor air for fresh outdoor air, transferring most of the heat — and with an ERV, the moisture — between the two streams. You get fresh air while keeping most of the energy.

ERV vs. HRV in This Climate

In humid Travis County, an ERV is usually the right pick because it limits how much outdoor moisture comes in with the fresh air. We size it to the home and recommend the type that fits.

Why Austin Homes in Particular

The subdivisions that ringed Austin through the boom went up fast with builder-grade systems sized to a price. Now they are aging in waves, with the familiar hot upstairs and weak airflow. We run a real load calculation and fix the cause instead of upselling a bigger unit.
