Madina Mechanical Recommendation for Scarborough
For most Scarborough and GTA homes: HRV. Ontario homes typically have humidity problems (basements, cooking, breathing), not dryness issues. An HRV exhausts excess moisture while recovering heat — perfect for tightly sealed Ontario homes.
Should I get an HRV or ERV for my Scarborough home?
For most Scarborough homes, an HRV is the right choice. Ontario homes typically generate excess moisture (cooking, breathing, basements). An HRV exhausts moisture while recovering 75-85% of heat energy. ERVs are better for very dry homes (under 25% humidity in winter). Madina Mechanical installs HRVs and ERVs throughout Scarborough.
