Everything you need to know about commercial ERV Systems
How commercial ERV systems work
An ERV (Energy Recovery Ventilator) system is a type of Direct Outdoor Air System (DOAS) which more efficiently treats outdoor air brought in to your facility. It does this by taking the stale (uncirculated) air from inside your building, pulling it in to your HVAC system, and using its temperature to heat or cool the incoming outdoor air.
Commercial ERV systems drastically improve air quality
ERV systems first and foremost help with complying with your state or municipality’s indoor air quality laws since their main function is to pull in outdoor air. Having one installed will ensure your organization is meeting a higher standard of air quality in your facility and providing better comfort for employees and customers.
They increased energy savings
Because ERV systems \ reuse up to 80% of the exhaust or stale air in your facility to treat the incoming outdoor air, the cost to run your HVAC system can be lowered by up to 50%.
ERV systems increase your HVAC system’s lifespan
ERV systems make it so your HVAC system does not need to run as often, which reduces the amount of wear and tear it would normally accrue over time. They also help stop contaminants from clogging air filters or causing problems like leaky or dirty ductwork. They also can reduce HVAC system breakdowns to keep them functioning longer.
Increased savings potential when paired with additional systems
If an ERV system is paired a mini split system, VRF (Variable Refrigerant Flow). or geothermal heat pump to better maximize the use of hot and cold air entering and leaving your building.

Is your organization interested in installing a commercial ERV system? Consider these factors
- Are you complying with your state or municipality's indoor air quality laws? Most states have standards for the amount of outdoor air which needs to be pulled into your building. Installing an ERV system can help you comply with these standards if you aren't already, or, if you are, they can help you lower the the cost to comply.
- Do you have a Direct Outdoor Air System (DOAS) which filters fresh air through your HVAC system? An ERV system is a type of DOAS system which more efficiently converts the outdoor air collected to the right temperature (hot in the winter and cold in the summer).
- Does your organization have high heating and cooling costs? By reusing stale (uncirculated) air inside your building to condition incoming outdoor air, your HVAC system won't have to work as hard, thus making it more cost effective to heat and cool your facility.
