Modern energy codes have made Vermont and New Hampshire homes tighter than ever. That is good for your heating bill but hard on indoor air quality. When a house cannot breathe naturally, humidity builds, carbon dioxide rises, and airborne pollutants concentrate. The answer is not to crack a window in January, it is a heat recovery ventilator or energy recovery ventilator that exchanges stale interior air with filtered fresh air from outside while transferring up to 80 percent of the heat back into the incoming stream. Twin State Basement Services sizes, installs, and commissions HRV and ERV systems for homes throughout the Burlington metro and the broader Twin State region, from new construction in South Burlington to retrofits in older Cape Cods in Winooski and Shelburne where natural infiltration has been sealed out by weatherization work.
An air to air exchanger is not a luxury item in Vermont, it is a health system. When outdoor temperatures drop below zero in January and your home stays sealed for weeks at a time, the only fresh air your family gets is what a mechanical ventilation system deliberately delivers. Our installation process starts with a load calculation to confirm the right unit capacity for your floor plan, followed by duct routing that integrates with your existing HVAC or operates as a standalone balanced ventilation system. Twin State Basement Services serves Burlington, Essex Junction, Colchester, Winooski, South Burlington, and the Champlain Valley corridor with HRV and ERV systems from manufacturers built for cold climate performance. Every installation is tested for balanced airflow before we leave the site.
At Twin State Basement Services, we pride ourselves on being local experts in basement waterproofing, foundation repair, and crawl space encapsulation. Our team of experienced technicians understands the unique challenges faced by homeowners in Vermont and Western New Hampshire.
Our personalized approach begins with a thorough assessment of your basement or crawl space, identifying any potential sources of water intrusion or moisture buildup.
We then work closely with you to create a comprehensive waterproofing plan that addresses these issues while also taking into account factors such as budget constraints and future plans for the space.

If your home feels stuffy, shows condensation on windows, or your family experiences frequent respiratory irritation during the winter months, a properly sized HRV or ERV system is the solution.
