Air Exchange Systems
How Venmar Home Ventilation Systems Work
Air Exchange Concept
Venmar air exchangers employ advanced technology to efficiently expel excess humidity, reduce gaseous pollutants and bring a continuous supply of fresh outdoor air into the home. Only an air exchanger can perform this task.
The following images demonstrate appropriate operation of Venmar Air Exchange units inside the house:
The Impact of Negative or Positive Indoor Air Pressure
It is important not to neglect the impact of an unbalanced ventilation system. If an air exchanger unit does not expel and intake equal amounts of air, a negative or positive air pressure imbalance occurs.
Venmar air exchangers are factory balanced. This means when installing these units following the installation instructions, there is no need to balance them. All other units must be balanced by an HVAC (Heating, Ventilating and Air Conditioning) professional.

Get the Ultimate
in Clean Air for Your Home
Combine an Air Oasis Induct Air Purifier with a Venmar Ventilation System (or any HVAC system) and get the ultimate in pure air in your home.
The Venmar Air Exchange System is fabulous for recovering heat or energy, providing fresh air, controlling humidity and removing particulate (dust, pollen, dander, etc.), but by adding the powerful broad-spectrum pollution purification abilities of an Air Oasis HVAC Induct Air Purifier, you get the ultimate in whole-house clean air. Air Oasis air purifiers destroy bacteria, viruses, pesticides, herbicides, mold spores, chemical fumes and gases, VOCs, odors and more from your ductwork and every room served by a vent.
The ONLY Induct Air Purifier with Rotational UV Shield Technology
Since UV lamps were first used in HVAC systems there has been one constant complaint from HVAC engineers and contractors. UV light can degrade many of the rubbers and plastics used within an HVAC system causing premature system failure. Air Oasis has created the perfect solution. With the development of their proprietary Rotational UV Shield you can control how little or how much UV light is emitted from the unit, while allowing for a constant stream of air to pass through the AHPCO Cell for treatment. The Rotational UV Shield can be rotated 360 degrees exposing more or less of the UVC lamp. (Click here to read why most induct UV lamps are not as effective as claimed).
The residential and business HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) induct models are designed for use with forced-air heating and central air conditioning systems (HVAC) to purify the air in all rooms served by ductwork in small to large single-family homes and office buildings. Turn your central heating and cooling system into an air-cleaning machine to significantly reduce pollutants and contaminants in your entire home or business.
