As a Calgary homeowner, you’re no stranger to the challenges of maintaining a comfortable and energy-efficient home in our unique climate. Between the city’s cold winters and the growing importance of energy efficiency, it’s essential to have a home ventilation system that meets your needs.
Enter the Heat Recovery Ventilator (HRV) — an innovative solution designed to improve indoor air quality, enhance energy efficiency, and keep your home comfortable year-round.
What is a Heat Recovery Ventilator (HRV)?

An HRV is a mechanical ventilation system that provides a continuous flow of fresh air while recovering heat from the outgoing stale air. The system works by extracting stale air from your home, capturing the heat from it, and then transferring that heat to the incoming fresh air. This process ensures that your home remains well-ventilated without losing the warmth generated by your heating system.
HRVs are particularly beneficial for tightly sealed, energy-efficient homes where natural ventilation is limited. By maintaining consistent airflow, HRVs prevent issues like excess humidity, indoor air pollution, and heat loss, all while improving overall indoor comfort.
The Benefits of an HRV for Calgary Homeowners
Improved Indoor Air Quality
Calgary’s winters often mean closed windows and doors, which can lead to a buildup of pollutants, allergens, and moisture inside your home. An HRV helps combat this by continuously exchanging stale indoor air with fresh outdoor air. This is particularly important for homes with occupants who have allergies, asthma, or other respiratory concerns.
Energy Efficiency
Heating your home during Calgary’s frigid winters can be costly, and energy efficiency is always a priority. HRVs recover up to 85% of the heat from the outgoing air and use it to warm the incoming air. This reduces the load on your heating system, saving energy and lowering your utility bills.
Moisture Control
Excess humidity in your home can lead to problems like condensation on windows, mold growth, and damage to walls and ceilings. An HRV helps maintain optimal humidity levels by removing excess moisture, protecting your home from these issues and ensuring a healthier living environment.
Consistent Comfort
Unlike traditional ventilation systems that can create drafts, HRVs distribute fresh air evenly throughout your home. This ensures that every room is comfortable, regardless of the season.
Eco-Friendly Solution
By reducing the amount of energy required to heat your home, HRVs help lower your carbon footprint. For homeowners committed to sustainability, an HRV is a smart, environmentally friendly choice.
