Commercial Air Balancing Services Throughout Michigan

Air balance problems can be hard to catch since there’s often no obvious sign that something is wrong. Getting the balance of your commercial HVAC system right, meaning the air coming in matches the air being discharged, plays a big role in energy efficiency and comfort throughout your building. Pro-Tech Mechanical Services has over 20 years of experience helping Michigan businesses get that balance right.

Beyond air balancing itself, we also install and service ERV (energy recovery ventilator) systems to help keep your building’s ventilation running efficiently. Our team can usually diagnose and correct issues quickly, often the same business day, so your operation isn’t sitting with a system that’s costing you money.

ERV Installation and Service

Fresh air matters in a commercial building, but bringing it in can drive up your heating and cooling costs. An energy recovery ventilator (ERV) helps by recovering energy from the air being exhausted, so your system doesn’t have to work as hard to condition the air coming in. Pro-Tech installs and services ERVs for Michigan businesses.

Our team can install an ERV that fits your building and keep it running the way it should. We work around your schedule, so you don’t need to shut down for the day to get it done.

If you already have an ERV, we can diagnose issues like weak airflow, worn belts, or clogged filters and get the unit back in working order. Pairing ERV service with air balancing also keeps your ventilation and airflow working together.

Air Balancing FAQs

Here are some of the questions we hear most often from Michigan businesses about our air balancing and ERV services:

How do I know if my building’s air is out of balance?

Air balance problems often don’t have obvious warning signs, which makes them easy to overlook until they start costing you money. You might notice rooms that feel too hot or cold compared to others, drafts near vents, higher-than-usual energy bills, or a general sense that air isn’t circulating the way it should.

Sometimes the signs are even more subtle, like certain areas of a building feeling stuffy while others feel fine. An inspection is the most reliable way to find out for sure, since our team can measure airflow directly rather than relying on guesswork.

What does an ERV do for a commercial building?

An energy recovery ventilator brings fresh outdoor air into your building while exhausting stale indoor air. As the two airstreams pass each other, the ERV transfers heat and moisture between them. That means the incoming air is closer to indoor conditions before your HVAC system has to condition it. The result is steady ventilation without as big a hit to your energy bills.

Can you install an ERV without shutting down my building?

In most cases, yes. We plan the installation around your schedule, which can mean working during off-hours or in phases. Our team walks through the plan with you ahead of time so you know what to expect. We know downtime costs your business money, so we keep disruption as low as we can.

How often should an ERV be serviced?

Most commercial ERVs benefit from regular service, and the right schedule depends on your building and how hard the unit runs. Filters, the energy recovery core, fans, and belts all need attention to keep airflow strong. Skipping service can lead to reduced airflow and higher energy use. Our team can inspect your unit and recommend a schedule that fits.

How do air balancing and ERV service work together?

Air balancing makes sure your HVAC system moves the right amount of air to the right places. An ERV controls how much fresh air comes into the building and how much is exhausted. When the two are out of step, you can end up with stuffy areas, uneven temperatures, or a building that feels pressurized the wrong way. Our team can look at both together so your ventilation and airflow work as one system.
