Signs Your HRV or ERV Needs Maintenance & What We Look For

If your HRV or ERV is noisy, smells musty, or isn’t providing fresh airflow, it may be overdue for maintenance. These issues can indicate a dirty core, clogged filters, fan problems, or airflow imbalances. Our licensed technicians perform a full system tune-up to restore proper ventilation.

Weak Airflow

Clogged filters or dirty cores often reduce fresh air supply.

Loud or Unusual Noises

Dirty fan wheels, bearings, or obstructions can cause grinding or rattling.

Musty or Stale Odours

Often caused by a dirty core, wet filters, or drainage issues.

Humidity Problems

Improper airflow balance can lead to condensation, dryness, or excess humidity.
