An ERV is designed to improve indoor air quality while reducing the “fresh air penalty” — it exchanges air but helps moderate humidity compared to an HRV. When an ERV isn’t working properly, you may notice stale air, lingering odours, excess indoor humidity, or a system that runs without any real improvement.
Peak Comfort HVAC provides ERV repair and service across Ottawa and surrounding areas. We diagnose the system end-to-end: controls, fan operation, core condition, filters, duct connections, and airflow. We also look at how the ERV is being used — timing, speed settings, and how it interacts with your home’s overall airflow and return paths.
ERV issues often come down to airflow and setup, not just parts. We confirm what the unit is actually doing, correct the cause, and verify results.

• Airflow comes first: If supply/exhaust airflow isn’t right, an ERV can’t do its job: we verify it.
• Core and filter checks: ERVs depend on a clean, functioning core. We inspect condition and performance instead of guessing.
• Balanced, practical indoor air: We focus on real comfort outcomes: less stuffiness, better air exchange, and sensible humidity behavior.
• No upsell / no gimmicks: If it’s maintenance, we treat it like maintenance. If it’s a repair, we prove the failure first.
• Clean, tidy work: Proper drain routing (where applicable), sealed connections, and a clean finish.
What to expect:
Step 1 — Diagnose: Inspect controls, airflow path, core condition, and drainage.
Step 2 — Explain & quote: Clear options and pricing before work starts.
Step 3 — Repair & verify: Repair, then verify stable operation and improved airflow performance.
