Get cleaner, healthier air at home
Breathe easier at home. TRALO™ installs air purifiers, HRVs, ERVs and air exchangers, humidifiers and dehumidifiers across Eastern Ontario and Nova Scotia, matched to your home and your heating system.
Common air problems, by region
Ottawa and Eastern Ontario. Long, dry winters mean static, dry skin and cracked wood floors, and tight newer homes can trap stale air. A humidifier and an HRV or ERV help with both.
Nova Scotia. Damp coastal air means humidity, condensation and musty basements, especially in older homes. A dehumidifier and an air exchanger keep your home dry and fresh.
Wherever you live, we look at your whole home before recommending anything.

Indoor air quality reviews
Indoor air quality questions we hear every week
It depends on what your home needs. Sometimes a better furnace filter does the job. Other homes need a humidifier, dehumidifier, HRV, ERV or air purifier. We look at your whole home first, then give you a written quote with the full price.
Both bring in fresh outdoor air and send stale air out, while keeping most of the heat. An HRV (heat recovery ventilator) suits homes that get too humid in winter. An ERV (energy recovery ventilator) also moves moisture, so it suits homes that get too dry in winter or too humid in summer. In Nova Scotia they're often called air exchangers.
Health Canada suggests about 30% in winter and around 50% in summer. The colder it is outside, the lower you want it, so your windows don't frost. Ottawa homes usually fight dry winter air, while Nova Scotia homes usually fight damp air. We'll check yours at your free assessment.
For some homes, yes, especially with pets, allergies or nearby wildfire smoke. For others, a better furnace filter changed on time does most of the job. We'll tell you which one your home needs before suggesting new equipment.
It can help reduce common triggers at home. Better filtration catches dust, pollen and pet dander, and keeping humidity in range limits dust mites and mould. Health Canada links dampness and mould to coughing, wheezing and worse asthma symptoms. Talk to your doctor about your health, and we'll look at your home's air.
Yes. Every install starts with a written quote, and the price on your quote is the price you pay. Your new equipment also comes with the manufacturer's warranty, and we'll walk you through what it covers. See our guarantees page for more.
