Enmedex - Heat Recovery Ventilators (HRVs)

The Lifebreath Heat Recovery Ventilator (HRV)

Balanced ventilation is key to reducing inside moisture and gases, and providing a consistent supply of fresh air for occupants. HRVs exhaust air from source locations (i.e. kitchen, bathroom, and laundry) and replace this air with fresh air from outside. The heat recovery comes from sending the exhaust air through a heat exchange core where the incoming air picks up about 80% of the waste heat.

An HRV can be installed in three common configurations; fully ducted, partially ducted, and simple. A fully ducted system removes stale air, supplies fresh air completely independent of any other mechanical system using separate ductwork. This is considered the best option. A partially ducted system exhausts stale air using independent duct work, but delivers fresh air to an existing forced air heating system. A simple system takes air from and delivers air to the existing forced air system.

HRVs can be fitted with air cleaners to reduce the entry of pollens and spores during allergy season; something not possible with window ventilation.

An HRV is an excellent addition to any home.
