Today's tightly sealed homes are fantastic for energy efficiency, but they often lock stale air, odors, and pollutants indoors. Eco Star Home Services Co. offers advanced Heat Recovery Ventilators (HRV) and Energy Recovery Ventilators (ERV) to give your home a much-needed breath of fresh air. These innovative systems continuously swap contaminated indoor air for fresh outdoor air, without sacrificing your hard-earned heating or cooling.
Keeping these mechanical ventilators in top shape is crucial for your family's respiratory health and for managing indoor moisture. From cleaning clogged exchange cores to full system installations, our technicians use state-of-the-art diagnostic tools to fix stuck dampers, burnt-out motors, and blocked intakes. We focus on restoring perfectly balanced air pressure so your home feels fresh and comfortable.
Thanks to our fully stocked 20,000-square-foot facility, we have immediate access to replacement filters, motors, and complete HRV/ERV units. This allows us to resolve most ventilation issues on our very first visit, ensuring your equipment runs safely and efficiently for years to come.

When your fresh air system breaks down, indoor humidity and pollutants can spike quickly, putting extra stress on your furnace and air conditioner. We do not just swap parts, our technicians evaluate how your ventilator interacts with your central HVAC system to ensure proper airflow and complete system harmony.
Arriving in fully equipped service vehicles, our local experts are ready to tackle ventilation failures head-on. Whether you are dealing with a frozen core in the dead of winter or a complex electrical fault, we quickly pinpoint the root cause to restore your indoor comfort and protect your home from excess moisture.
Deep-cleaning or replacing heavily soiled pre-filters and exchange cores.Swapping out failed blower motors that restrict fresh air flow or exhaust.Fixing motorized defrost dampers to prevent winter freezing.Removing leaves, nests, and blockages from exterior intake and exhaust hoods.Replacing or recalibrating wall controls and dehumidistats.Clearing clogged condensate drains to prevent internal water damage.Re-balancing system airflow to stop cold drafts and negative pressure.
A stagnant home environment affects your well-being and can lead to moisture damage. Reach out today to ensure your home enjoys balanced, fresh indoor air year-round.
HRVs are perfectly suited for colder climates like Markham. They expel stale indoor air while using its heat to pre-warm the fresh incoming outdoor air. If your HRV is failing to go into defrost mode, leaking water out of the cabinet, or blowing cold drafts into your living room, our technicians can restore its efficiency. We ensure your unit transfers heat optimally without freezing up during harsh Ontario winters.
ERVs take mechanical ventilation a step further by transferring both heat and moisture, making them excellent for maintaining comfortable humidity levels. If your ERV is struggling to manage indoor humidity during the summer, or the specialized exchange core has become contaminated with dust and debris, we can quickly replace cores, motors, and sensors to get your air quality back on track.
A sudden mechanical failure can lead to freezing drafts or internal flooding. You should not have to wait until Monday morning to secure your home. We offer rapid, 24/7 emergency response throughout the Markham area to protect your property and restore your air quality.

Our on-call technicians are always ready. We prioritize fast, calm, and professional interventions to safely diagnose electrical faults, stop leaks, and get your ventilation system flowing safely again without delay.
A reliable HRV or ERV is essential for maintaining a healthy living space, especially in modern, airtight homes. Recognizing the early warning signs of poor ventilation can save your family from respiratory irritation and protect your drywall and windows from mold.
If you constantly find thick condensation pooling on the inside of your windows during winter, or notice dark mold spots growing in corners, your home is trapping moisture. An HRV exhausts this damp air and brings in fresh, drier air.
Lingering cooking smells, pet odors, and a generally stuffy feeling indicate that your indoor air is stagnant. Proper mechanical ventilation constantly replaces this polluted air with fresh, filtered outdoor air.
Opening windows in the dead of winter or peak of summer to get fresh air wastes massive amounts of heating and cooling energy. An ERV or HRV recovers up to 80% of this energy, providing fresh air while keeping your utility bills low.
Tightly sealed homes trap dust mites, VOCs from cleaning products, and allergens indoors. If your family suffers from chronic indoor allergies, a ventilation system dilutes these contaminants, drastically improving your health.
Even the most reliable ventilation systems experience wear and tear over time. With over two decades of experience, Eco Star Home Services Co. has the expertise to handle a wide variety of indoor air quality challenges.
The core is the heart of the system where heat transfer happens. Over time, dust and debris bypass the filters and clog the tiny channels in the core, drastically reducing efficiency and restricting airflow. We safely remove and deep-clean these delicate components.
HRVs and ERVs rely on dual blower motors to function. If the exhaust or intake motor fails, it creates a severe air pressure imbalance in your home, pulling in drafts or pushing conditioned air out through the walls. We replace failing motors to restore perfect balance.
In freezing Markham winters, HRVs must periodically close their outdoor intake to melt ice buildup in the core. If the defrost damper motor fails, the core will freeze solid, stopping all ventilation and potentially cracking the unit. We repair these critical safety mechanisms.
Upgrading to a modern ventilator is a game-changer for your indoor air quality. For newer, airtight homes, mechanical ventilation is not just a luxury, it is often required by building codes to prevent Sick Building Syndrome.
Upgrading to a modern ventilator is a game-changer for your indoor air quality. For newer, airtight homes, mechanical ventilation is not just a luxury, it is often required by building codes to prevent Sick Building Syndrome. We seamlessly integrate these advanced units with your existing ductwork, automatically treating the air in every room of your house simultaneously.
Proper sizing and balancing are absolutely critical. An improperly balanced system can create negative pressure, pulling dangerous exhaust fumes from your water heater or furnace back into the living space. We meticulously calculate your home's airflow needs to ensure your new system operates perfectly and safely.
As factory-authorized experts, our installation process is flawless, from cutting precise exterior intake vents to calibrating the final CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute) airflow. We handle all the heavy lifting, walk you through your new wall controls, and submit your warranty registration so you have complete peace of mind.
Routine upkeep is the secret to a long-lasting ventilation system. By scheduling an annual inspection, our experts can clear out exterior vent blockages and clean the delicate exchange core before performance drops. This preventative care protects your investment and ensures your family always has access to uninterrupted fresh air.
Bugs, pollen, and dust inevitably accumulate in these systems. Our professional maintenance restores your unit's energy recovery rates, ensuring you breathe clean air without putting unnecessary static pressure on your furnace blower.

Get answers to common questions about HRV & ERV services.
An HRV (Heat Recovery Ventilator) transfers only heat between the incoming and outgoing air streams, making it ideal for dry, freezing winters. An ERV (Energy Recovery Ventilator) transfers both heat and moisture, helping keep outdoor humidity from entering your home during muggy summers.
You should clean the internal core of your HRV once or twice a year, typically before the heating season begins and right after it ends. Regularly vacuuming loose dust and soaking the core in warm, soapy water ensures optimal heat transfer and prevents airflow blockages.
Yes, running your ventilation system in the summer is highly recommended to continuously exhaust stale indoor air, cooking odors, and chemical pollutants. If you have an ERV, it will refresh your air without overloading your air conditioner by keeping heavy outdoor humidity outside.
A leaking HRV is usually caused by a blocked drain line or an unlevel unit that prevents condensed moisture from draining out properly. Because HRVs extract humidity from indoor air as it meets cold outdoor air, a clogged drain pan will quickly overflow and leak through the bottom housing.
