Expert HRV & ERV Installation in Milwaukee, WI
If you’re ready to install a heat or energy recovery ventilator (HRV/ERV) in your Milwaukee home, Capital HVAC is the team to call. We specialize in designing and installing whole-home ventilation systems that strike the right balance between energy efficiency and indoor air quality — especially important in Wisconsin’s seasonal climate.
HRVs and ERVs continuously replace stale indoor air with fresh outdoor air, using a built-in exchanger to recover heat (and in the case of ERVs, moisture) from the outgoing air. This not only improves comfort and air quality, but also reduces the strain on your HVAC system.
Whether you’re upgrading your home’s ventilation or including one in a new build, we’ll ensure your system is properly sized, expertly installed, and tailored to your space.
Call Capital at 262-220-7020 to schedule your installation or request a quote.

Advantages of Recovery Ventilators
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 My Home?
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.
