HRV (Heating Recovery Ventilator) Cleaning

An “HRV” or Heat Recovery Ventilator is a feature of your heating system that helps to better capture energy from exhaust air from your furnace and transfer it to the fresh air coming in from outside.

It has two separate air handling systems:

One collects and exhausts stale indoor air
Another draws in outdoor air and distributes it through the home

HRV’s are often located high on the wall above your furnace and resemble a cold air return grille.

Since an HRV is part of the HVAC system, we must clean them to guarantee the whole system has been cleaned. We clean the unit itself by removing and cleaning the heat exchange core and fans.

Your HRV will have 2 filters, one on each side, and they should be vacuumed, washed & dried at least every 2 months. Consult your HRV’s owner’s manual for more on how The Heat Recovery Ventilator (HRV) maintains air quality in your home.

10 out of 10! I cannot express the detail and outstanding service that the whole team put into this endeavor. From the friendly easy booking over the phone, to my amazing in house cleaning team Ha and Lorenzo. They went above and beyond what was expected and ended up fixing an 8 year old dryer vent issue. It was difficult and those 2 would not give up. I will recommend this company to everyone!

AB Carpet and Furnace cleaned our furnace and vents on Jan 30. Ruzle and Tiq were a great team as they quickly and efficiently cleaned our home. They were respectful and courteous, and I would highly recommend this duo to others. The team arranging the appointment was also wonderful as they made booking the appointment simple, and kept me well informed of the arrival time of the cleaning team. Much appreciated!

I can't say enough about the service I received from Alberta Furnace Cleaning. They came today to clean my furnace vents and my in-house VAC system. My Vents were almost completely clogged with construction materials leftover from when the house was built. We also have two kitties and they contributed to the overall blockage. My furnace is already working at a much more efficient level. Alfredo and Joseph were knowledgeable, polite, and efficient. They left my house and furnace room immaculate before they left. Thank you for the great service!
