How an HRV System Works:

An HRV is a very energy efficient system that pulls the stale air from inside your home while simultaneously replacing it with fresh air from outside your home. An HRV works by drawing in the stale, muggy and warm air from inside your home along with the cooler, fresh air from outside your home in the summer months and dry air balancing it keep humidity at proper levels in the winter months. With these two separate air streams in the system, they cross paths in a patented core and a heat transfer occurs between them.

Following the heat transfer, the stale air from inside your home is now cooler and is deposited outside. Meanwhile, the fresh air is now warmer and is supplied to the home. Through this transfer, there is no energy wasted in the HRV and your home is kept comfortable.

To manage home humidity, HRV units remove air from the prime source of your home’s humidity; the bathrooms. Similar to bathroom fans, HRVs can be set to run on high with a bathroom timer. It is recommended any time the shower or bath is used to provide optimum removal of moisture.

What makes an HRV unique and energy efficient is that it uses heat transfer to ensure that the air being supplied to the home is a comfortable temperature. The HRV’s heat exchange core transfers heat from the outgoing stale air stream to heat up the incoming air stream. This heat transfer is done without the two air streams ever mixing; ensuring that you only have fresh air being supplied to your home.
