HRV Installation in Bloomington, MN — Heat Recovery Ventilators
Bloomington homes — from postwar ranches near Normandale to remodeled properties by the Mall of America corridor — get tighter with every window and insulation upgrade. Winter humidity then fogs glass and leaves rooms stuffy. An HRV (heat recovery ventilator) brings in fresh outdoor air and exhausts stale air while recovering the heat. Furnace Direct installs and replaces HRVs across Bloomington and the south metro.
Why Bloomington homes need an HRV
South-metro winters are long and cold outdoors, but Bloomington houses that have been sealed up trap shower, cooking, and breathing moisture indoors. Fogged windows and a closed-in feel are the usual signs. An HRV transfers heat between outgoing and incoming air without recycling that moisture, which is why HRVs are the default pick for most Bloomington and Twin Cities homes.
What an HRV install involves
New installation
We run dedicated fresh-air and exhaust ducting through your Bloomington home, mount the unit, tie in the drain and controls, then balance intake and exhaust so the system works as rated. Balancing is the step most often skipped — and it matters.
Replacing an old unit
If you already have an air exchanger in Bloomington that's noisy, iced up, or has a failed core, a straight swap is usually quick. We reuse sound existing ducting where we can to keep cost down.
- Windows fog up or drip with condensation in winter
- The house feels stuffy, or cooking and pet odors linger
- Indoor humidity feels high in winter or the air feels stale
- Your current air exchanger is old, noisy, or the core is shot
- You just tightened the house up (new windows, insulation, spray foam) and comfort got worse
