HRV Replacement in Minnesota — Heat Recovery Ventilators
When your heat recovery ventilator gets noisy, ices up, or the core fails, a proper HRV replacement restores fresh-air ventilation without wasting heat. Furnace Direct replaces HRVs across Minnesota — we reuse sound ducting when we can, install the new unit, and balance it so it works as rated.
When Minnesota homeowners replace an HRV
Cores wear out. Fans get loud. Frost controls fail. If your Minnesota HRV isn't moving air the way it used to — or windows fog again because the unit quit — replacement is usually cleaner than endless repairs. We also check whether an ERV would actually fit better now (rare, but worth asking if the house runs extremely dry).
What HRV replacement involves
New HRV installation
If you don't have an exchanger yet, we can install a new HRV statewide: ducting, hang, drain, controls, and balance. Many customers start on this page because an old unit already exists and needs a swap.
HRV replacement / swap
Straight HRV replacement is our bread and butter: remove the failed cabinet, hang the new heat recovery ventilator, reconnect ducting and controls, and rebalance intake vs. exhaust. Keeping good existing ducts keeps cost and dust down.
- The unit is constantly noisy or vibrating
- It ices up and won't clear, or airflow is weak
- The core is cracked, dirty beyond cleaning, or missing
- Winter window condensation came back after the unit quit working
- Repair quotes keep stacking up on an aging cabinet
