ERV or HRV in western NY?

fitchplate | Posted in General Questions on

Is there agreement yet, whether an ERV or HRV is best for cold winter/hot-humid summer? I am looking for a small one for tight well insulated 1100 sq ft with 80CFM bath exhaust fan,
120 – 300 CFM hood exhaust and a passive make up air vent in each room.

Here ERV is recommended:
