What an air exchanger cleaning covers
What gets cleaned, and why it matters
An air exchanger, also called an HRV (heat recovery ventilator), brings fresh outdoor air into your home and sends stale air out. On the way through, a part called the core passes warmth from the outgoing air to the incoming air, so you aren't heating fresh air from scratch all winter.
Over time, dust and debris build up in the ducts, the fans and the core. A clogged air exchanger moves less air and wastes the heat it's meant to save, and the air in your home starts to feel stale.
What an HRV or air exchanger cleaning includes
- Supply and exhaust ducts
- Intake and exhaust points, where air enters and leaves the house
- Both fans
- The heat-exchange core
- Filters, cleaned or replaced
Signs your air exchanger is due
- Windows fogging up in cold weather
- Stale or musty air
- Weaker airflow at the vents
- Three to five years since the last full cleaning
In the HRM, HRV and air exchanger cleaning is $450 for up to 16 vents, with the core, filters and ducts photographed before and after.

What customers say
Documented work, every time.
Within a week AVCL was at my home and provided expert service. Sue at the office was a pleasure to deal with. Bill and Justin were two fine young men, personable and professional. They did an outstanding job cleaning my air ducts. I would highly recommend AVCL wholeheartedly.
We had our HVAC cleaned by Steve and Ricky. They were excellent, did a fantastic job. I asked them to do the dryer and it wasn't on the work plan, but they did it anyway. Very professional, friendly, and we'll certainly have them back. Really great price. No complaints!
We were very pleased with the job your employees completed for us. Very knowledgeable and professional.
