Fresh Air Without the Heat Loss

Modern energy codes have made homes significantly tighter — which is great for efficiency, but creates indoor air quality challenges. Without adequate ventilation, CO2 builds up, moisture gets trapped, and pollutants accumulate. In a mountain home that's sealed up all winter, that's a real problem.

Energy Recovery Ventilators (ERVs) and Heat Recovery Ventilators (HRVs) solve this by continuously exchanging stale indoor air with fresh outdoor air — recovering 70–80% of the heat in the process. The result: fresh air, controlled humidity, and no big spike in your heating bill.

We design the system around your home's layout, existing ductwork, and how it's used — then fabricate any custom components in-house.

ERV vs. HRV — Which Do You Need?

ERV

Transfers both heat and moisture. Better for dryer climates or homes with humidity control systems. Ideal for most Pagosa Springs homes.

HRV

Transfers heat only — exhausts moisture. Better for very humid climates or homes with moisture problems like basements or crawl spaces.

Fresh Air, All Winter
Continuous ventilation without cracking a window and losing all your heat.
70–80% Heat Recovery
Outgoing stale air pre-warms incoming fresh air. Minimal energy penalty for maximum air quality.
Humidity Control
ERV systems help maintain healthy indoor humidity levels throughout the dry Colorado winter.
In-House Ductwork
We fabricate and install all ductwork in-house. No waiting on outside shops.
