HEAT
RECOVERY VENTILATOR (HRV) and ENERGY RECOVERY VENTILATOR (ERV)
are fresh air exchange appliances
that clean and evenly circulate the fresh air and expel stale,
polluted air while controlling humidity and minimizing heat
loss/gain. Without an exchange of air, the added elements from
smoking, cleaning, cooking, etc. have an adverse effect on the
air we breathe. HRVs and ERVs are identical except for the
recovery core (heat exchanger). HRVs are used primarily in cold
northern climates while ERVs are used in the middle and southern
U.S. (see map below)
HRVs and ERVs are growing in
popularity as an indoor air quality solution to health issues
and winter condensation problems. HRVs present the most cost
effective solution to meeting tougher new construction housing
codes in the northern U.S. and Canada.
The HRV core carries a limited lifetime warranty. ERV cores are
warranted for five(5) years.
HRV/ERV
SYSTEMS use centrifugal
blowers to remove the stale indoor air. The incoming and
outgoing air streams moving through the system capture and
transfer the heat from one air stream to another, while passing
through a patented set of exchange cores. Units are constructed
of pre-painted steel and lined with foil-faced fiberglass
insulation to minimize energy loss. The temperature level from
the indoor air is retained and transferred to the new incoming
fresh outdoor air before circulating throughout the house.
