I also have a HRV, no issue's on my end now.

Before the HRV, use to get ice build up on my windows on the inside. And lots of it. Now worst case I may have a bit of moisture on them, but very little. HRV works very well, summer or winter.

HRV. Best investment I ever made in this hobby.

HRV club member here as well. Same experiences, used to have major sweaty windows and ice build up. Nothing since HRV went in. Plus since it is a whole house solution everyone benefits with the fresh air that is brought in.

I'm interested in looking into this. Can someone who has this system give me some information on who installs them in Calgary.

What is involved in a HRV installation? Will drywall wall have to come down to install new venting pipes?

I'm replacing an old furnace and if I could put in an HRV that would be great.

Cheers,
Vic

you can tie them into the existing ductwork for the furnace but 2 pipes will need to go outside no matter what for exhaust air out and fresh air in
where is your mechanical room located compared to an exterior wall or attic space? how big is the mechancial room? is there space for one

Mech Room is in the center of the house in the basement. Room is a bit tight but there is room to expand it.

Cheers,
Vic
