Signs you need a new water heater:

  • No hot water or water takes too long to heat

  • Water heater is over 10–12 years old

  • Leaks or rust around the tank

  • Rising energy bills due to inefficiency

  • Strange noises or cloudy, rusty water

HRV & ERV Installation

Good ventilation is just as important as heating and cooling. With advanced HRV and ERV systems, ServiceXCEL helps you maintain fresh, healthy indoor air while improving efficiency.

What is an HRV?
A Heat Recovery Ventilator brings in fresh outdoor air and uses exhaust air to preheat or precool it, reducing energy waste while improving air quality.

What is an ERV?
An Energy Recovery Ventilator works like an HRV but also transfers moisture between incoming and outgoing air, keeping humidity levels balanced for year-round comfort.

Benefits of HRV & ERV installation:

  • Constant supply of fresh, filtered air

  • Improved indoor air quality and reduced pollutants

  • Lower heating and cooling costs

  • Balanced humidity levels for comfort and health

  • Ideal for modern, airtight homes

Our technicians help you choose the right system for your home and provide expert installation for long-term efficiency.

FAQs – Water Heaters & Ventilation

Q: How long does a water heater last?
A: Most water heaters last around 10 years. After that, the risk of leaks increases, and many insurance companies require replacement to protect your home.

Q: What’s the difference between an HRV and an ERV?
A: An HRV focuses on energy recovery and fresh air exchange, while an ERV also balances humidity. The best choice depends on your climate and home needs.

Q: Do HRVs and ERVs save money on energy bills?
A: Yes. Both systems recover energy that would otherwise be lost, reducing heating and cooling costs.

Q: Can you install a water heater and an HRV/ERV in the same visit?
A: Yes. Our technicians can coordinate both services for convenience and efficiency.
