HRVs to lower high humidity in the winter. ERVs to regulate humidity with the outside year round. HRVs in Alberta.

Thanks Barnes, I've still got a third of a chimney to remove to make room for it, but hope to have it done this fall sometime. Will report back! Leaning towards this unit due to the better efficiency and port size matching my existing ducting.
