Des Moines Heat Recovery Ventilators (HRV)

Get Indoor Fresh Air, Anytime of the Year

Today’s energy-efficient homes trap stale air indoors causing poor air quality and potential health problems for you and your family. Lifebreath units work to remove stale indoor air and replace it with fresh outdoor, helping to prevent moisture build-up, mold, and rot.

Lifebreath Residential HRVs are the best choice for ventilating homes or workplaces. These units are designed to provide fresh air into the building while exhausting an equal amount of stale air to the outside. During the heating season, Lifebreaths heat recovery ventilators (HRVs) replace stale air with fresh air throughout homes and businesses, helping prevent moisture build-up, toxic mold, and rot.

What is a Heat Recovery Ventilator (HRV)?

How does a heat recovery ventilator work?

An Energy Recovery Ventilator (ERV) or Heat Recovery Ventilator (HRV) is an air to air energy exchanger found in modern, energy-efficient homes. Due to the tight construction of new homes, your home can no longer “breathe” on its own. An ERV or HRV allows for fresh air exchange by exhausting stale indoor air and supplying an equal volume of fresh air from outside, ensuring high-quality indoor air year-round.

An HRV will transfer a high percentage of heat to the cooler air stream lessening the load on your heating and cooling appliances. HRV’s can help mitigate high indoor humidity during the cooler winter months of the year by exchanging the humid indoor air with the drier air from outside.

An ERV will transfer a high percentage of heat as well as moisture, to the cooler, drier air stream lessening the load on your heating and cooling appliances. Ideal for environments with high outdoor humidity and a drier indoor environment.

Great service right from Jackie answering my call to Rory the technician! My appointment was from 2 to 4 but, Rory was here 2 hours early and that was very appropriate considering it was 83 degrees in my house! Rory explained the situation and what was needed for a fix! Very professional and personable!! Highly recommended

Wow! phenomenal customer service from Jackie on the phone, Lee, and the install professionals! I'm so glad I heard about this place. Had a new AC unit and furnace install. I called on a Monday and Tuesday they came out and quoted a great honest price. 2 weeks later they show up on time and work extremely hard and efficiently. I have already started recommending this company!

Lee Rose is a genius with a boiler and I have used his expertise for 16 years or more. He was the third repair guy I tried. It’s super hard to find someone to work on a residential boiler, let alone someone who can actually fix it! He has provided us with beyond excellent service through the years. He always responds quickly when I need something. Thanks for being a company I can count on, Lee!

Des Moines Comfort has been servicing my equipment for years. The maintenance package was a smart decision. They come out twice a year. I had an appointment yesterday, Jeff was early and I wasn’t home yet. I told him how to get in, he even took the dog out!!
Thanks!

Des Moines Comfort is a great company!! Their technicians are very professional and knowledgeable. They replaced an AC coil for us and it works great! They showed up exactly when they said they’d be here and even sent notice when they were in route. The technician even put up with our 2 little kids bugging him and answered all their little questions. Highly recommend DSM Comfort!

Extremely polite and informative! Fixed the problem for now as we have a semi-old system! Hopefully, it holds up for another couple of years. If not we will definitely be calling back!

I can’t say enough about the Des Moines comfort team. They were professional, responsive, and caring since the first call. They sent a worker out first thing in the morning with a picture of who would be arriving and when. They did great work and left the work area very clean. I would highly recommend them for all HVAC needs.
