Lingering odours, window moisture or a change in airflow? JSL provides ventilation and HVAC support for homes. Tell us about your equipment and concerns so we can confirm the right service.
Know what to report
Stale air, cooking odours that linger and recurring window condensation can be reasons to review ventilation. Very dry air also deserves a closer look. Report where and when the problem occurs, any change in fan sound, and whether the controls respond. These observations help narrow the assessment; they do not identify the cause on their own.
If a carbon monoxide alarm sounds, leave immediately for fresh air and call 911 from outside. Do not re-enter until emergency responders say it is safe. Health Canada CO guidance
Understand your equipment
01
An HRV brings outdoor air into the home and exhausts indoor air. In winter, its heat exchanger transfers some heat from the outgoing air to the incoming air. It supports ventilation; it does not replace the home’s heating system.
02
An ERV transfers moisture as well as heat between the air streams. That difference matters when comparing options for a home that is already dry in winter. The right choice depends on the home, its occupants and the equipment’s cold-weather operation.
03
Fans that exhaust outdoors remove moisture and odours near their source. Their operation should be considered alongside the home’s other ventilation and fuel-burning equipment. A fan that only recirculates indoor air does not provide outdoor-air ventilation.
Yellowknife considerations
Winter performance depends on the whole installation: the selected unit, ductwork, controls and its frost-management provisions. HRVs may use defrost cycles in cold weather. Persistent ice, an unexpected loss of airflow or water around the unit should be assessed rather than treated with improvised adjustments.
Window moisture is also affected by indoor humidity and cold window surfaces. Condensation alone does not prove that an HRV has failed. Share any humidity readings you already have and note which windows or rooms are affected. Avoid choosing a universal winter humidity setting without considering the home and its equipment.
Maintenance and decisions
01
Use the owner’s manual for filter checks and any approved cleaning. Disconnect power as the manual directs before opening a user-access panel; if the steps or access are unclear, leave the task to a technician. Observe accessible outdoor hoods from a safe position for snow or frost blockage. Do not climb, chip ice, remove screens or alter vents.
02
Report persistent poor airflow, new noise, water leakage or control problems. Leave electrical work, airflow balancing, duct changes and internal repairs to a qualified professional. Cleaning a filter does not establish that the supply and exhaust flows are balanced. Do not defeat frost protection or other safety controls.
03
An assessment should consider airflow needs, existing ducts, controls, service access and cold-weather operation. Ask whether cleaning or repair may address the concern, and what changes a replacement would require. Share the make and model with JSL so we can confirm the service scope before you plan the work.

Checking analytics preference.
JSL uses Google Analytics automatically on supported public pages to measure visits, selected request and phone-link clicks, and when the service-request form embed enters view. These clicks and views do not confirm a submitted request. The careers page is measured only as a page visit. You can turn website analytics off below without a popup or form.
Google receives technical information such as your IP address, browser details, page information, referrer site and cookie identifiers. JSL’s website analytics code supplies fixed page labels, page addresses without query strings or fragments, referrer origins and a limited set of campaign labels. It does not read form contents or set user IDs. Google advertising features are disabled for this integration. When enabled, the Residential Service Request form’s separate Google Analytics integration measures form activity and completed requests. Jobber may use analytics cookies and send Google browser and other technical data, cookie identifiers, full page and referral URLs, and campaign details. This integration operates independently of JSL’s website analytics code. Turning website analytics off in Privacy settings does not turn off Jobber’s own analytics. We have not verified whether Jobber independently respects Global Privacy Control.
Your website analytics preference is saved separately from marketing. A saved analytics off choice remains until you change it or clear this site’s browser data. JSL’s website analytics code respects existing analytics refusals and Global Privacy Control. Website analytics stays off if the preference cannot be reliably stored. Turning it off disables further measurement by JSL’s controller and attempts to remove its accessible first-party analytics cookies; it does not erase information Google already received. JSL’s website analytics cookies are configured for up to 180 days without extending that lifetime on subsequent events. See Google’s privacy policy.
Marketing tracking is off.
If you allow marketing tracking, Meta Pixel measures page visits and selected campaign clicks to help measure and improve JSL’s Facebook and Instagram advertising. Meta receives technical information such as your IP address, browser details, page URL, referrer and cookie identifiers, and may link this with your Meta account.
JSL’s tracking code does not send form contents or supply advanced-matching data. Website analytics has separate controls above. You can turn marketing tracking off here at any time. Turning it off stops future tracking by this integration and attempts to remove its accessible first-party cookies; it does not erase information Meta already received.
