Why HRV Balancing Matters

Properly balancing and diagnosing your Heat Recovery Ventilator (HRV) system is essential for maintaining optimal indoor air quality and energy efficiency. An unbalanced HRV system can lead to poor air circulation, excessive moisture, and the buildup of harmful pollutants like mold, dust, and VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds). These issues can negatively affect your health, comfort, and the durability of your home. Regular HRV balancing ensures that your home receives the right amount of fresh air while stale air is effectively exhausted, improving both air quality and energy performance.

Why HRV Balancing Matters

In homes, especially modern airtight ones, the HRV system plays a crucial role in maintaining air quality. Without regular balancing and diagnostics, your system might not work as efficiently as it should, resulting in high energy bills, discomfort, and potential long-term damage to your property. Balancing is also essential to ensure your HRV is operating within the specifications of local building codes and energy standards, ensuring compliance and reducing liability concerns.

Pricing for HRV Balancing Services

Our pricing for HRV balancing services starts at $400 for smaller homes and increases based on square footage. For an average-sized home, the cost typically ranges between $400 and $800, depending on the size and complexity of the system. We provide a detailed assessment to give you an accurate quote tailored to your home’s specific needs.

  Monolith was able to come to do my audit super quick, given that I didn't have a lot of time to get it done before the cut off date! It was done quickly and he explained all the requirements, and helped me fill out the forms to get the Greener Homes Grant. Those things are terrible to fill out-you need to be a lawyer....or get Monolith to show up and they do it for you:) thank you sooo much-you saved my sanity. Call them-just call them-you wont be disappointed.

  They came on very short notice and were in an our in less than an hour.  They took the time to explain the process and took care of everything except the final submission (which is the applicants responsibility).

HRV system commissioning ensures that your system is properly set up and adjusted to meet the ventilation needs of your home. Proper commissioning optimizes airflow, reduces energy consumption, and ensures a comfortable, healthy indoor environment. It also helps to meet building code requirements and prevents issues like excess humidity or poor air quality.

Signs your HRV system may need balancing include uneven airflow, noticeable drafts, excessive moisture or condensation in your home, stale odors, or rooms that feel too humid or dry. High energy bills can also indicate inefficiencies in the system that could be due to poor balancing.

The main difference between an HRV (Heat Recovery Ventilator) and an ERV (Energy Recovery Ventilator) is how they handle moisture. HRVs focus on exchanging heat between the incoming fresh air and the outgoing stale air, but they don’t transfer moisture. ERVs, on the other hand, also exchange moisture, which can help in climates with high humidity or very dry conditions. HRVs are often used in colder climates, while ERVs are better for balancing humidity in homes located in warmer or more humid regions.

Regular maintenance includes: •Filter Cleaning/Replacement: Clean or replace your filters every 3-6 months to ensure proper airflow. •Inspect Ductwork: Check ducts for any obstructions or damage. •Check Vents and Grilles: Ensure vents and grilles are free of dust and debris to avoid restricting airflow. •Annual Inspection: Have a professional inspect your system annually for a full performance check, cleaning of heat exchangers, and overall system health.

Typically, HRV commissioning can take anywhere from 1 to 3 hours, depending on the size and complexity of the system. Larger homes or more intricate setups may require additional time for thorough testing and adjustments.

Balancing an HRV system requires specialized equipment to measure airflow accurately and make the necessary adjustments. While you can clean filters or check the system for obvious issues, a professional should handle balancing to ensure it’s done correctly and to avoid damaging the system or voiding warranties.

You should commission your HRV system: •After Installation: When it’s first installed to ensure it’s working correctly. •After Major Renovations: Any changes to your home’s structure or ventilation could affect the HRV’s performance. •Periodically: It’s recommended to re-commission your HRV system every few years to ensure it’s still performing optimally.
