Air Exchanger Systems for Larger Home Ventilation

Venmar High Efficiency Heat Recovery Ventilator imageVenmar Ventilation High Efficiency Heat Recovery Ventilators are the comfortable home solution for improved indoor air quality. Venmar HRV ventilation systems are a very popular choice and one of the best heat recovery air exchangers (HRV) of its category. High Efficiency air exchangers deliver an exceptional level of indoor air quality and excess humidity control.

Venmar High Efficiency Ventilators have the most powerful and efficient heat recovery performance on the market. They deliver unparalleled indoor air quality and excess humidity control to medium size homes (refer to local building code).

This state-of-the-art unit also comes with feature-rich main and optional wall controls and push-buttons for added functionality offering even greater home comfort. If you’re willing to spend a little more for the best heat recovery system (HRV) on the market, install a High Efficiency air exchanger.

Recirculation mode provides constant flow of air to prevent air stagnation (available with the Ultima control). Optional controls allow you to customize unit for enhanced performance.

Heat Recovery Ventilator (HRV)

The Venmar High Efficiency Heat Recovery Ventilator (HRV) is the proper choice for colder climates, where home heating is essential. The Venmar HE series HRV keeps the home supplied with a steady flow of fresh outdoor air. As stale, warm air is expelled, the heat recovery core warms the incoming fresh, colder air before it is distributed throughout the home. The result is a constant supply of fresh air, no unpleasant drafts and greater home comfort. In addition to heat recovery and improved air quality, the HRV provides necessary ventilation while controlling excess humidity.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance should be performed every 3 months. Annual maintenance should also take place every fall season. Remove filters.

  • Vacuum to remove most of the dust.
  • Wash with a mixture of warm water and mild soap. Rinse thoroughly. Shake filters to remove excess water and let dry. NOTE: Washing the filters in the top tray of the dishwasher is possible, but the aluminum frame might tarnish.
  • Replace the optional filters (electronic, pleated or charcoal) if applicable. Do not wash in water.
  • Check the exterior air intake hood. Make sure no leaves, twigs, ice or snow have been drawn into the vent. Clean if necessary.
