Proton HVAC's quiet HRV units and ERV systems deliver continuous, balanced airflow that meets Canadian building codes while significantly cutting heating loads. Whether you're upgrading an older home or optimising a new build, our smart ventilation solutions improve indoor comfort, support eco-friendly upgrades, and keep Calgary families breathing cleaner air year-round.

FAQ
Which is better for Calgary: an HRV or an ERV system?
Calgary's cold, dry winters make HRV systems the preferred choice for most homes. However, if humidity control is a priority, an ERV system offers balanced fresh air exchange with added moisture retention.
Can an HRV system improve indoor air quality during winter?
Absolutely. Calgary's winter climate seals homes tight, trapping airborne contaminants indoors. A Heat Recovery Ventilator continuously drives fresh air circulation, reduces indoor pollutants, and delivers healthy ventilation keeping your residential HVAC system efficient and indoor air quality high all season.
Can an HRV or ERV system be added to an existing home?
Yes. Calgary winters trap airborne contaminants indoors. An HRV system continuously circulates fresh air, reduces indoor pollutants, and maintains healthy indoor air quality — without losing the heat your residential HVAC system has already generated.
What size HRV system does my house need?
HRV sizing depends on your home's square footage, occupancy, and airtightness. Proton HVAC calculates the correct airflow requirements and recommends the right residential HRV capacity for balanced whole-house ventilation.
How can I tell if my HRV system needs repair?
Watch for poor airflow, frost buildup, unusual noise, or rising indoor humidity — all common HRV repair indicators. If your ventilation performance has dropped, Proton HVAC's residential HVAC technicians provide prompt airflow diagnostics and air exchanger repair services to restore full system efficiency.
