Heat and Energy Recovery Ventilatorsin the Milwaukee Area

A recovery ventilator, also known as an energy recovery ventilator (ERV), is a type of ventilation system that helps to improve indoor air quality while also

• Increasing energy efficiency
• Improving air quality
• Providing consistent comfort

A recovery ventilator works by exchanging the stale indoor air with fresh outdoor air, but instead of simply exhausting the indoor air and bringing in outdoor air, it uses a heat exchanger to transfer heat and humidity from the outgoing air to the incoming air.

Still with us?

That helps to pre-condition the incoming air, making it closer in temperature and humidity to the indoor air, which can reduce the load on the heating and cooling system.

What Our Customers Say

★★★★★ I requested to have quote to install a EV charger in our garage. I was able to schedule one in a week and Adam showed up at the door right on time to inspect how much would that cost. He was very professional and explained very clearly how the technician will work on the installation. He also made the process easy by sending me two different options via email for me to choose which one I’d like to go with. After accepting one of the options someone called and scheduled the installation. Erich came out and installed everything professionally. Price was reasonable and we could not be happier with how easy the process went.Angela Kao ★★★★☆ The technician (Luis) was very polite, professional, and knowledgeable. He explained the process and answered all my questions.Abeautiflife Mine ★★★★★ **EDITED REVIEW**Noone can really expect perfection out of a business, especially when that company is large and well known. I experienced a few issues throughout my process, but to be fair - my situation was highly unique and I had an extremely firm and inflexible expectation.Capital quickly jumped into action and corrected the situation. By quickly, I mean - within 45 minutes.Sure, perfection is the goal. But what really matters is how a company responds when things aren't perfect (because they won't always be). Capital stands by their service and products, and I'm appreciative of their actions to get us to the point of the project's end goal//my vision.Upgraded from 1 to 5 stars. Unmatched support.

Now just waiting to schedule the install.Jeremiah Parve ★★★★★ Amani and Kyle did a great jobs with my duct cleaning and ac repairs respectively. Thanks!Adriana Olivia ★★★★★ I scheduled an appointment to fix a dryer outlet that wasn't providing enough voltage to heat a brand new dryer. Jacob discovered that the machine hadn't been connected properly and that there were no electrical issues. Despite spending 30 minutes checking and double-checking for any issues, I was not charged. That doesn't happen very often anymore. I will definitely use Capital Heating in the future and recommend you to friends and neighbors. Thank you!Sue Jennings ★★★★☆ Hired Capital Heating & Cooling do an annual A/C check for me. Communication regarding appointment, actual service technician and his arrival time were accurate and convenient. Service tech Kyle was very professional and respectful of my house (used shoe covers each time in & out of the house). After service was performed, he walked me through the condition of my AC and gave me several recommendations, but I didn’t feel pressured to purchase any on the spot. Took 1 star off because the solicitation for feedback was a little overboard, as I received several messages by text and email.Mike M ★★★★★ Super happy with the serviceSantiago Romero ★★★★★ The technician, Anthony, was very friendly and helpful to my mother and my boyfriend. I received my estimate very promptly. I've used Capital HVAC previously and have always been very pleased with the service and I would recommend them.Mari Luna

Advantages of Recovery Ventilators

Improved indoor air quality

Recovery ventilators help to improve indoor air quality by continuously removing stale, polluted air from inside your home and replacing it with fresh outdoor air.

Energy efficiency

Recovery ventilators use a heat exchanger to transfer heat and humidity from the outgoing air to the incoming air, which can reduce the load on your heating and cooling system. This can lead to significant energy savings over time.

Comfort

Recovery ventilators help to maintain a consistent indoor temperature and humidity by pre-conditioning the incoming air. This can help to reduce hot and cold spots, and improve overall comfort in your home.

Cost-effective

Although recovery ventilators may have a higher initial cost compared to traditional ventilation systems, they can be cost-effective over time due to their energy efficiency and potential energy savings.

Health benefits

Improved indoor air quality can lead to various health benefits such as reducing respiratory problems, allergies, and other health issues associated with poor indoor air quality.

Overall, recovery ventilators provide a great way to improve indoor air quality while reducing energy consumption and improving comfort in your home.

Is It Right For Me?

Recovery ventilators are particularly useful in homes that are tightly sealed or have high levels of insulation, as these types of houses may be more prone to poor indoor air quality and humidity levels.

If you have respiratory problems, allergies, or other health issues that may be aggravated by poor indoor air quality, you could also greatly benefit from a recovery ventilator. These systems can effectively remove pollutants, allergens, and other contaminants from the indoor air, which can improve the overall health and well-being of you and your family.

Recovery ventilators are also ideal for homes in areas with extreme weather conditions, such as very hot or cold temperatures, as they can help to maintain a consistent indoor temperature and humidity level while reducing energy consumption.

The Difference Between ERV and HRV

• The main difference between an Energy Recovery Ventilator (ERV) and a Heat Recovery Ventilator (HRV) is the type of heat exchange mechanism they use to transfer heat and moisture between the incoming and outgoing air streams.

• An HRV transfers only heat between the incoming and outgoing airstreams, while an ERV transfers both heat and moisture. This means that an ERV is more effective in humid climates, as it can help to regulate indoor humidity levels by transferring moisture from the incoming to the outgoing air.

• In cold climates, an HRV is more effective because it can recover heat from the outgoing air to preheat the incoming air, which can reduce heating costs. In warmer climates, an ERV is more effective because it can help to reduce the load on the cooling system by transferring some of the moisture and heat from the incoming air to the outgoing air.

• Both HRVs and ERVs provide similar benefits, such as improved indoor air quality, reduced energy consumption, and improved comfort. The choice between an HRV or ERV depends on the specific climate conditions, as well as the indoor air quality and ventilation requirements of the building or home.
