- MERV 13–16 media filters
- Whole-home humidifiers

- Fresh-air ventilators (ERV/HRV)
Signs you need this service
- Allergies or asthma worsen indoors
- Dry skin, static, cracking wood in winter
- Musty smell or visible mold
- Dust accumulates fast after cleaning
Energy Recovery Ventilators (ERV)
Modern homes are built tighter than ever, which saves energy but traps stale air, moisture, and pollutants inside. An Energy Recovery Ventilator (ERV) continuously exchanges indoor air with fresh outdoor air — while transferring heat and humidity between the two streams so your HVAC system doesn't have to work harder.
Why install an ERV?
- Brings in fresh outdoor air while exhausting stale indoor air
- Recovers up to 70–80% of heating/cooling energy from outgoing air
- Reduces humidity in summer and adds moisture in winter
- Helps control odors, VOCs, and indoor pollutants
- Works quietly and automatically with your HVAC system
Signs your home needs one
- Condensation on windows in winter
- Musty or stale odors that won't go away
- Allergy symptoms worse inside the home
- Newer, tightly built or recently air-sealed home
- Frequent cooking, cleaning, or pet odors lingering
Summer operation
The ERV pre-cools and dehumidifies incoming fresh air using the outgoing conditioned air, reducing the load on your A/C.
Winter operation
Outgoing warm air pre-heats and adds moisture to cold, dry outdoor air before it enters your home.
Maintenance
Filters should be cleaned or replaced every 3–6 months, and the core should be inspected annually as part of a ComfortShield tune-up.
