Whole-Home Fresh Air Ventilation for Denver Metro Homes
Opening a window brings in fresh air, but it also lets conditioned air escape. A heat recovery ventilator or energy recovery ventilator provides a more controlled way to exchange stale indoor air for outdoor air while recovering some of the heating or cooling energy that would otherwise be lost.
Your Cooper Green Team installs HRV and ERV systems throughout Denver and the surrounding metro area. These balanced ventilation systems exhaust stale indoor air while bringing filtered outdoor air into the home, helping provide more consistent ventilation without relying only on open windows or uncontrolled air leakage. The U.S. Department of Energy identifies HRVs and ERVs as balanced ventilation systems that recover energy from outgoing air before it leaves the home.
The right system depends on your home. An older, leakier property may have very different ventilation and humidity needs than a recently built, remodeled, or tightly air-sealed home.
Your Cooper Green Team evaluates your HVAC system, home layout, indoor comfort concerns, humidity, and ventilation needs before recommending an HRV or ERV.

Some restrictions may apply. Contact us with any questions or to schedule your FREE diagnostic.
Call (720) 605-7270 or schedule online. We will discuss why you are considering ventilation, whether your home feels stale, dry, humid, or uncomfortable, and whether recent remodeling, air sealing, or HVAC upgrades have changed how the home performs.
A Cooper Project Manager will evaluate the existing HVAC system, available ductwork, home layout, installation space, electrical requirements, outdoor-air intake location, exhaust location, humidity concerns, and how the new ventilator could integrate with the home.
We will explain whether an HRV, ERV, or another ventilation strategy makes the most sense and provide an upfront estimate. The recommendation will consider ventilation needs, humidity, energy recovery, controls, maintenance, and your budget rather than simply choosing the largest system available.
Our installation team will complete the approved ductwork, ventilation equipment, controls, electrical connections, intake, and exhaust work. After installation, we test the system, explain its settings and maintenance, and show you how operation may need to change during poor outdoor air quality.
Tell us how we did! We are always looking to improve so we can better satisfy our customers!
Since 1978, Your Cooper Green Team has helped Denver-area homeowners improve heating, cooling, ventilation, and indoor air quality. Our licensed professionals evaluate how an HRV or ERV will work with your existing HVAC equipment, ductwork, filtration, and humidity needs before recommending a system. You will receive a complimentary estimate, clear equipment options, upfront pricing, professional installation, and qualifying work backed by our 1-year labor warranty, 100% Satisfaction Guarantee, and A+ Better Business Bureau rating.
"The prices were more than competitive…"
—Harvy P. | Colorado HomeownerThese guys are the absolute best. They installed 2 HVAC systems in my house. They were so professional and friendly. They cleaned everything, even the fingerprints on the walls. They covered all the floors with tarps. I can not describe how good they are. Ask for Riley if you need estimates. The prices were more than competitive. I would recommend them to everyone.
Both systems provide balanced ventilation and transfer heat between incoming and outgoing air. The main difference is moisture.
An HRV primarily transfers heat, while an ERV transfers heat and some moisture. That moisture transfer can help an ERV retain more indoor humidity during dry winter conditions.
It depends on the home.
DOE (Department of Energy) guidance notes that an ERV can be useful in colder-climate homes that become excessively dry during winter because it retains some indoor moisture. An HRV may make more sense in a very tight home with higher indoor moisture levels because it allows more moisture to leave with the exhaust air.
There is no universal rule, so airtightness, occupancy, humidity, HVAC equipment, and household comfort should be evaluated before choosing.
They can support indoor air quality by replacing stale indoor air with controlled outdoor air while filtering and distributing the incoming air.
They do not remove every pollutant and should not be treated as a replacement for HVAC filtration, air purification, humidity control, or eliminating pollution sources inside the home.
It may be worth evaluating.
Air sealing, new windows, insulation, and remodeling can reduce uncontrolled air leakage. That is often beneficial for efficiency, but tighter homes may require a more deliberate ventilation strategy to maintain predictable outdoor-air exchange.
Denver’s residential energy-code resources specifically address heat- and energy-recovery ventilation alongside other building-envelope efficiency measures.
Normal outdoor-air ventilation may need to be reduced or adjusted when wildfire smoke affects local air quality.
EPA guidance recommends limiting outdoor-air intake during smoke events when possible and using appropriate filtration and recirculation strategies. Homeowners should understand their system controls before wildfire season so they know how to adjust ventilation when Denver-area air quality deteriorates.
It can reduce the amount of heating or cooling energy lost through mechanical ventilation because the system transfers energy between outgoing and incoming air.
Actual utility savings depend on the equipment, airflow, home construction, weather, HVAC efficiency, controls, and how the system is operated. Savings should not be guaranteed before evaluating the home.
Cost depends on the ventilator, airflow capacity, ductwork, installation location, controls, filtration, electrical work, HVAC integration, and how difficult it is to route outdoor intake and exhaust ducts.
Existing homes that require extensive new ventilation ductwork may cost more to retrofit than homes where the equipment can be integrated more easily. A complimentary in-home evaluation is the best way to receive an accurate installation price.
The air quality you breathe is crucial for maintaining a healthy living environment. Poor air quality can lead to many health issues, so it’s important to understand how to test indoor air quality to keep your home safe and comfortable.
The fresh mountain air of Colorado is definitely something to behold. And while homeowners in even the more urban areas of Denver or Boulder enjoy fresher air than people in other parts of the country, poor indoor air quality is still a problem that many Colorado homeowners face.
While many of us don’t often think about the air we breathe indoors, its quality plays a significant role in our health and comfort. The good news is that improving indoor air quality is achievable and comes with numerous benefits.
If your home feels stale, has become tighter after an efficiency upgrade, or needs a better way to bring in fresh outdoor air, an HRV or ERV may be worth considering.
