ERV Installation in Bloomington, MN — Energy Recovery Ventilators
Some Bloomington homes — especially newer or extremely tight builds — run bone-dry in winter even with people living in them. An ERV (energy recovery ventilator) recovers both heat and a portion of moisture from exhaust air, so incoming fresh air isn't as arid. Furnace Direct installs and replaces ERVs when moisture recovery is the right call for your Bloomington home.
When an ERV fits Bloomington better than an HRV
HRVs are the Minnesota default because most homes fight excess winter humidity. But if your Bloomington house already feels desert-dry, has high-performance construction, or you want moisture recovery on purpose, an ERV transfers heat plus humidity between streams. We choose based on how your home actually behaves — not a one-size pitch.
What an ERV install involves
New ERV installation
A new ERV install in Bloomington includes fresh-air and exhaust ducting, mounting, drain and control tie-in, and airflow balancing. We confirm ERV vs HRV before we order hardware so you're not stuck with the wrong recovery type.
Replacing an old unit
Replacing an old air exchanger with an ERV in Bloomington is straightforward when ducting is sound. We swap the cabinet, verify the core type matches your moisture goals, and rebalance.
