HRV or ERV (and which brand?)

MrMMrR | Posted in Energy, Heating & Insulation on

My 30-year-old vanEE HRV is worn out and I’m looking for a replacement. I live in Maine. I don’t honestly know whether an ERV might be a better choice – I’ve read about the differences between an HRV and an ERV.
I’ve often seen the Zehnder ERV mentioned as the best unit made, but it is too expensive an option. I’m curious if anyone might have another brand to recommend.
Thanks.
