A heat recovery ventilation system swaps stale indoor air for filtered outside air and passes the warmth of the outgoing stream to the incoming one, so a guest room or a dining room gets fresh air without the heat loss of an open window. Our units hide in the ceiling void and run on quiet DC motors. Speed and schedule are set from a phone over Wi-Fi.
Both exchange stale air for fresh air and keep most of the heat. An HRV transfers heat only, while an energy recovery ventilator (ERV) also moves some moisture across the core, which helps in humid summers or very dry winters. In a temperate climate with normal indoor humidity, an HRV is the usual choice.
Yes. A ceiling unit sized to the room supplies fresh air continuously, which keeps a closed guest room from turning stuffy and carries cooking smells and CO2 out of a busy dining room. It does not replace the extraction hood over a cooking line, which is a separate system with its own grease filters.
Space in the ceiling void for the unit, two ducts to the outside (intake and exhaust), supply and extract grilles in the room and a power feed. Our current model runs on 110 V or 220 V at 50 Hz, so state your supply when ordering. Ductwork and electrics should be fitted by a ventilation installer to local building rules.
The ceiling model here suits a bedroom or a home office in a well-sealed house, and its minimum order is two units. If you need just one, or a wall-mounted single room unit that needs no ductwork, send a Custom Order request and we will check what the factory can supply.
