INTRODUCTION

HRV - Aluminum Core

A Heat Recovery Ventilator (HRV) is designed to provide fresh air into a building while exhausting an equal amount of stale air. During the winter months, the incoming cold fresh air is warmed by utilizing the heat recovered from the stale air before it is exhausted to the outdoors. During summer months when the indoor space is air conditioned, the Heat Recovery Ventilator will help in cooling the incoming fresh air with the stale air that is being exhausted.

ERV - Enthalpic Paper Core

An Energy Recovery Ventilator (ERV) is designed to provide fresh air into a building while exhausting an equal amount of stale air. An ERV is designed for use in warm humid areas with heavy air conditioning use. The ERV will transfer both sensible and latent heat from the incoming fresh air to the outgoing stale air thereby reducing the load (due to ventilation) on the air conditioning system.

ERVs are not suitable for climates where the temperature drops below -4˚C (25˚F).

WARRANTY

All Heat Recovery Ventilators carry a Lifetime Warranty on the heat recovery core and a 5 (five) year replacement parts warranty.

All Energy Recovery Ventilators carry a 5 (five) year warranty on the energy recovery core and a 5 (five) year replacement parts warranty.

During the warranty period, if any core experiences a failure or perforation caused by normal use while owned by the original purchaser, a replacement core (FOB our plant) will be supplied at no expense.
