What is an ERV and Why Your Home Needs One

Not all ventilation is created equal, especially when it comes to keeping your home energy-efficient and healthy. Energy Recovery Ventilators (ERVs) are designed to bring in fresh outdoor air while reducing energy waste by capturing heat and moisture from the outgoing stale air. That means better air without driving up your utility bills.

If you’re asking yourself if an ERV installation in Livonia, MI is a wise choice, the answer is yes, particularly in Michigan, where harsh winters lead to tight homes. ERVs offer an efficient way to improve comfort and air quality throughout the year.

Here’s how it works in real life:

In winter, it brings in cold air but keeps your home warm by transferring heat from the outgoing indoor air.
In summer, it removes excess humidity from incoming outdoor air while holding on to your indoor cool.
All year, it reduces stale air, odors, CO₂ buildup, and indoor allergens.

It works quietly in the background and pairs with your home’s HVAC system, helping you breathe easier year-round.

If you want a company that strives on quality and perfection, this is your guy! We are so happy with our installation, we had both the furnace and air conditioner replaced. They listened to what we were wanting out of the new unit and so far they nailed it. Our installer was very particular and made sure that we were happy in the end. I’m telling you this is your go to company for heating and cooling!

Robert (Bobby) Wilhelm, of Comfort Craftsman HVAC, Livonia, Michigan, put a huge smile on my face this week, just in time for the 4th of July. I had purchased two heat pumps of different brands almost a year ago, one of which was successfully installed, while the other unit was deemed to be faulty and returned to the vendor (Menards), which did a good job of providing a replacement by arrangement with the product distributor. (Though this was not as easy as it sounds, as it took several months to locate and contact the distributor, only to find out that they did not provide any product servicing in Michigan or any neighboring state). However, the new unit then sat in my garage for three or so months (while we swelted in the recent 90+ heat!), as the original installer played hide-and-seek with me and every other HVAC company that I called on said they only installed their own units, not to mention that no-one was anxious to pick up on a job that another party had started. Eventually, someone from my regular HVAC company (A. J. Danboise) recommended Robert, who kindly agreed to make an exception in my case. Robert did an excellent job of installing the new unit, finally bringing to an end a frustrating drama that had lasted literally a whole year!

Bobby Wilhelm is an AMAZABLE human being! Bobby IS THE Comfort Craftsman! I spoke with by phone and met with in person about five HVAC professionals. I chose Bobby, because of his exemplary combination of knowledge, communication skills, competency and kindness. He really cares about his craft. He exudes integrity and intelligences. I trust him. He often conducted work while no one was home, and we felt completely comfortable. The heating and cooling works perfectly. And the job was huge. He literally built our entire duct system in the attic and installed a brand new system of forced air heating and cooling, furnace and air conditioning. He has social and emotional intelligences most of us can only dream of. Emotionally and socially poised and skilled. A bit of an artist. And certainly an indoor climate control true scientist. Did I mention that he is excellent with communication? To me that is so important. We are truly grateful and highly recommend him!

Great communication, on-time, great work and very nice

ERV FAQs

How long does it take to install an ERV?

Most ERV installations take about half a day to one full day, depending on your ductwork and HVAC setup.

Will it make my energy bill go up?

Not usually. ERVs help reduce heating and cooling loss, so they may even help your system run more efficiently over time.

Do I still need to open windows?

Not with an ERV. You’ll get fresh air in the home without letting in outdoor allergens, humidity, or temperature swings.

What kind of maintenance does an ERV need?

Basic maintenance includes cleaning the filters every few months and changing them yearly. Some models have a core that needs a gentle rinse or wipe.

Can I use an ERV with my current HVAC system?

In most cases, yes. We’ll assess compatibility and help size and position it so it works smoothly with your existing system.
