What We Do

Our ERV Retrofit Services in Long Island City

Design, installation, and ongoing service for energy recovery ventilation — cutting fresh-air conditioning load across Long Island City's commercial and residential buildings.

🌀

ERV System Design & Retrofit

We design ERV retrofits that fit your Long Island City building's existing ductwork and mechanical room footprint, sizing recovery capacity to your actual outdoor-air requirements rather than a generic formula.

🔧

Core & Wheel Replacement

Energy recovery cores and rotary wheels lose effectiveness as they age and foul. We inspect, clean, or replace them to restore your ERV's rated recovery efficiency.

🌬️

Ductwork Integration & Balancing

A retrofit is only as good as the airflow behind it. We integrate new ERV ductwork into existing systems and balance airflow to match design specifications.

⚡

Controls & BAS Integration

ERV operation is tied into your building's BAS or standalone controls, enabling demand-controlled ventilation, defrost cycling, and bypass control without manual intervention.

🌿

LL97 Ventilation Compliance

NYC's Local Law 97 targets buildings over 25,000 sq ft, and ventilation load is a meaningful share of total HVAC energy use. ERV retrofits are one of the most direct ways to reduce that load.

📅

ERV Preventative Maintenance

Scheduled filter changes, core inspections, and belt or motor checks keep your ERV delivering rated recovery efficiency year after year, rather than quietly degrading.

LL97 Note: Long Island City buildings over 25,000 sq ft face escalating carbon penalties starting 2024. ERV retrofits directly cut the outdoor-air conditioning load driving a large share of HVAC emissions — ask us about your building's exposure.

From stale air to recovered efficiency

One partner handles every step. Here's how we do it.

01

Building & airflow assessment

A certified technician surveys your Long Island City building's existing ventilation, ductwork, and outdoor-air requirements to design a retrofit that actually fits the space.

02

Root cause diagnosis

For existing ERV systems, we diagnose whether underperformance comes from a fouled core, failed controls, or a ductwork imbalance — not just recommend a wholesale replacement by default.

03

Fixed-price proposal

Before a wrench turns, you receive a clear, itemized quote with no hidden line items. What we quote is what you pay — we absorb any unintended costs.

04

Installation, balancing & commissioning

Certified technicians install or service the ERV to OEM specifications, then balance and commission the system — verifying recovery efficiency and airflow before we sign off.

Questions we hear every day

Straight answers about ERV retrofits in Long Island City — no marketing fluff.

How quickly can Denair respond to an ERV issue in Long Island City?
Denair provides 24/7 emergency response across Long Island City with technicians typically on-site within 4 hours of your call for existing ERV systems in distress. For new retrofit projects, we schedule site assessments within a few business days of your initial inquiry.
Is Denair experienced with ERV retrofits in older Long Island City buildings?
Yes. Many of our Long Island City ERV projects involve integrating new energy recovery ventilation into buildings that were never designed for it — coordinating ductwork routing, shaft space, and structural constraints that are common in the neighborhood's converted industrial and pre-war stock.
How does an ERV retrofit help with NYC Local Law 97 compliance?
LL97 sets carbon emissions limits for NYC buildings over 25,000 sq ft, and conditioning outdoor air is one of the largest energy loads in ventilation-heavy buildings. An ERV recovers a significant share of that energy from exhaust air before it's lost, directly reducing the load your HVAC system has to condition. Denair includes an LL97 impact assessment with every ERV retrofit proposal for qualifying Long Island City buildings.
What does an ERV retrofit cost in Long Island City?
Cost depends on unit capacity, ductwork complexity, and whether we're integrating into existing infrastructure or adding new distribution. Denair provides a fixed-price proposal after a site assessment, and we can also structure phased retrofits for buildings managing a multi-year capital plan.
Can Denair maintain an ERV system after the retrofit is complete?
Yes — we offer preventative maintenance contracts covering core inspection, filter changes, and controls checks so your ERV keeps delivering its rated recovery efficiency long after installation, rather than degrading unnoticed.
