What clean air solutions does

Clean Air Solutions is a privately held Canadian residential field-service business founded in 2005 by Steve Morey and headquartered at 7 Morey Place, Flatrock, Newfoundland and Labrador. The company specializes exclusively in the installation, servicing, and cleaning of Heat Recovery Ventilation (HRV) and heat exchanger systems, a vertical focus that differentiates it from general HVAC contractors. Its core technology is HRV equipment that recovers 70–80% of heat from exhaust air, paired with state-of-the-art video inspection tooling used to assess contamination inside residential air ducts before cleaning.

The company operates with approximately three to seven staff: one administrator and two dedicated work crews, with one crew focused on installations in single-family homes and condominiums and the second crew devoted entirely to service and maintenance. Service offerings include HRV and heat exchanger installation, air duct cleaning with video inspection, the proprietary 10 Point Service Plan for annual maintenance, kitchen and bathroom exhaust system installation, and in-home ventilation assessments. Authorized service-center status with six major HRV OEMs (Fantech, LifeBreath, Nu Air, Venmar, Vanee, Greentek) provides product training and credibility, while HRAI HRV specialist certification and BBB A+ accreditation reinforce professional standing.

Clean Air Solutions generates revenue through quote-based, pay-as-you-go pricing on installations and duct cleaning, supplemented by recurring revenue from annual service contracts under the 10 Point Service Plan. Customers are primarily residential homeowners in St. John's and the Northeast Avalon, with secondary exposure to new-construction projects routed via plumbing/heating contractor referrals and to condominium developments. The go-to-motion is direct-to-consumer, acquired through the website, phone, social media (Facebook, Twitter), and word-of-mouth from a long-tenured customer base — multiple households have been on the service roster for 23 years.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Reliance Home Comfort: One of Canada's largest residential HVAC, water heater, and home comfort service providers. Comparable because it serves Canadian homeowners with HVAC installation and maintenance contracts, though at much greater scale and broader service scope than Clean Air Solutions' HRV specialization.
• Enercare: Major Canadian provider of HVAC, water heating, and home services to residential customers. Comparable due to its recurring maintenance contract model and direct-to-consumer field service delivery in Canada, although Enercare operates at national scale versus Clean Air Solutions' regional focus.
• Direct Energy: Large North American residential energy and home services company offering HVAC equipment, installation, and maintenance plans. Comparable as a broad incumbent in residential HVAC services with a recurring contract model similar to Clean Air Solutions' 10 Point Service Plan.
• Carrier: Global HVAC manufacturer and residential heating/cooling solutions provider. Comparable because Carrier operates across the full HVAC stack — including ventilation and indoor air quality — that Clean Air Solutions services, though at manufacturer scale rather than as a regional service specialist.
• Trane Technologies: Global HVAC and refrigeration equipment manufacturer with residential product lines. Comparable as a broad incumbent whose residential ventilation, heating, and air-handling products are serviced by companies like Clean Air Solutions.
• Lennox International: Major North American HVAC manufacturer serving residential and light commercial markets. Comparable as a broad incumbent whose residential heating and indoor air quality equipment overlap with the systems Clean Air Solutions installs and maintains.
• Goodman Manufacturing: Major North American residential and light commercial HVAC manufacturer. Comparable as a broad incumbent whose residential heating, cooling, and indoor air quality products intersect with the systems Clean Air Solutions services.

Others

• Fantech: Manufacturer of HRV/ERV and ventilation products for which Clean Air Solutions is an authorized service center. Comparable because Fantech sits in the same HRV/ventilation category that defines Clean Air Solutions' business, but operates upstream as an equipment manufacturer/supplier rather than a direct service competitor.
• Venmar: Canadian manufacturer of HRV, ERV, and air exchange products and Clean Air Solutions' authorized service partner. Comparable due to deep overlap in the HRV/ventilation category, though Venmar is a manufacturer/supplier in the ecosystem rather than a field service peer.
• LifeBreath: Manufacturer of residential HRV/ERV systems and Clean Air Solutions' authorized service partner. Comparable given shared focus on the residential HRV category, though LifeBreath operates upstream as a product manufacturer.
