Who Can Benefit from Residential HRV Installation?

Most properties can benefit from having an HRV system installed, as they can greatly improve home ventilation and air quality. However, they may be more important for recently built properties as they are generally built to be airtight, which increases the levels of stale air.

Should I Get an HRV or an ERV for My Property in Calgary?

ERVs are better at controlling moisture levels, which is generally a concern for those living in more humid regions. For the predominantly dry weather in Calgary, HRVs are more commonly recommended by experts.

Can an HRV Help Reduce Allergens in My Home?

Yes, and HRV can improve air circulation inside your home, preventing allergens from accumulating inside your property. These systems come with filters that can help reduce the levels of dust, pollen, pet dander and other particles.

HEAT RECOVERY VENTILATOR IN CALGARY — INSTALLATION, REPAIR & MAINTENANCE

For Calgary Home and Business

Looking to improve energy efficiency? You’ve come to the right place! Using heat recovery ventilation reduces your home or business’s heating and cooling demands. Harmony Heating & Air Conditioning Inc’s heat recovery ventilation systems can recover up to 90% of exhaust air to improve energy efficiency in any building. We can provide you with HRVs, ERVs and Healthy Climate Systems.

Understanding HRVs

A Heat Recovery Ventilation, also known as HRV is a device capable of making the air inside your home cleaner and healthier while helping you reduce energy consumption. This is done by allowing fresh air from outside your space to pass through a heat exchanger that recovers heat from the stale air inside your property. This way, you can benefit from having access to fresh air without heavily relying on heating or cooling systems to manage indoor temperatures.

Understanding ERVs

Energy Recovery ventilators are also called ERVs. These devices are a type of HRV, but they are also capable of controlling moisture levels of the incoming air stream. This can make your home more comfortable during hot and humid weather conditions.

Professional HVAC engineers install heat recovery ventilation systems for new houses.

The Benefits an HRV Brings to Your Place

Having an HRV Installed in your property can bring you a wide range of benefits. Some of these include:

A Healthier Indoor Environment
More Stable Temperature Management
Reduced Energy Consumption
Reduced Levels of Humidity

RNC6-ES

Heat Recovery Ventilator

The RNC6-ES is the compact successor to the RNC5-ES and is widely recognized for its blend of performance, energy efficiency, and streamlined design. It’s frequently described as:

A bestselling HRV model, offering consistent airflow balance
Engineered for space-constrained environments such as condos or high-rise mechanical rooms
Equipped with features like top-port ducting, door-port balancing, and multiple high-speed settings
Built around a cross-flow (non-HEX) core, delivering very good performance at a lower cost point compared to HEX-core versions

Product Highlights

Compact footprint (only about 10″ deep), making it ideal for ceiling installations in apartments or tight mechanical spaces

Top-ported design plus door-port balancing damper simplifies airflow setup and installation.

Selectable high-speed fan settings, with low-speed continuous operation, enable installers to fine-tune airflow for different home and climate conditions.

Energy performance is solid at moderate temperatures, but the cross-flow core has slightly lower heat recovery (vs. HEX-core versions) in extreme cold.

Made to CSA/UL standards, suitable for Canadian and U.S. installations

Annual past reviews note this model’s reliability, ease of maintenance, and consistent performance across seasons.

The Lifebreath RNC6-ES is a space-saving, energy-efficient compact HRV geared toward condos or small mechanical rooms. With 163 CFM max airflow, solid efficiency down to freezing temps, selectable fan speeds, and ENERGY STAR certification, it’s a reliable mid-tier choice. Its lifetime core warranty and 5-year parts coverage reflect confidence in long-term durability. Contact Harmony Heating & Air Conditioning for installation today.
