What to Look for in a Home Ventilator
Ventilator Type
There are two types of ventilators—heat recovery ventilators and energy recovery ventilators. Heat recovery ventilation is ideal for northern climates with a longer cold-weather season, where excess moisture can be a problem. Energy recovery ventilators are ideal for warmer climates. Seeing condensation on your windows can mean you may have excess moisture inside your home. Your Carrier expert can help recommend whether heat recovery ventilation or energy recovery ventilation is best suited for your climate.
Comfort Features
Heat Recovery Ventilators (HRV) remove excess moisture during the heating season to help reduce excess moisture in the home. Energy Recovery Ventilators (ERV) transfer heat/cooling energy and water vapor, helping to balance humidity in the cooling season. ERV and HRV circulate fresh air throughout the home, while recovering heating and cooling energy. You no longer have to open windows and doors, keeping your heated or cooled where it’s meant to be—inside your home - with heat recovery ventilation and energy recovery ventilation solutions.
Energy Savings
Improve energy efficiency and increase cost savings while maintaining a consistent indoor temperature and circulating fresh air throughout your home with heat recovery ventilators and energy recovery ventilators. Our energy recovery ventilators also remove excess humidity to enhance comfort and efficiency.
Comparing 2 Types of HVAC Ventilators
Heat Recovery Ventilator (HRV)
Heat Recovery Ventilators (HRV systems) are designed to improve indoor air quality by exchanging stale indoor air with fresh outdoor air, while recovering the heat energy from the outgoing air. This helps maintain comfortable temperatures without wasting energy. HRV systems are ideal for those looking to boost energy efficiency and air quality in their home. Learn more about how a heat recovery ventilator, or HRV system, can help you recover the heat and save energy today.
Energy Recovery Ventilator (ERV)
Energy Recovery Ventilators (ERV systems) help improve indoor air quality by transferring heat and moisture between the outgoing stale air and incoming fresh air. They are ideal for homes seeking natural ventilation while conserving energy and reducing the carbon footprint. By maintaining optimal humidity and temperature levels, ERVs promote energy conservation and a healthier environment. Learn more about how energy recovery ventilators, or ERV systems, can enhance your home’s ventilation while reducing your energy impact.

Frequently Asked Questions About HVAC Ventilators
An HVAC ventilator is a system that helps improve the airflow in your home by exchanging stale indoor air with fresh outdoor air. This ensures better air quality, reduces allergens, and creates a healthier, cleaner, and more comfortable living environment. Learn more about what home ventilation is and how it works.
Whole-house ventilators work by drawing in fresh outdoor air and exhausting stale indoor air, improving airflow throughout the entire home. They can be controlled to ensure optimal ventilation, enhancing air quality and reducing humidity levels. This process helps maintain a comfortable and healthy living environment.
Yes, HVAC home ventilators can worth it, especially when installing a heat recovery ventilation system or energy recovery ventilation system. HVAC home ventilators can improve air quality, enhance indoor comfort, and help reduce heating and cooling costs by efficiently exchanging stale air with fresh outdoor air while recovering energy. They can be a smart choice for maintaining a healthier, more energy-efficient home.
