A Heat Recovery Ventilator (HRV)
An HRV is a controlled ventilation system that reduces high humidity, pollutants and odours by replacing stale air with fresh warm air.
Exhaust air is not only stale and damp, but warm. It is this warmth that is used to pre-heat fresh air as it enters your home. All HRVs have two fans and an in-built "Air to Air" Heat Exchanger, which transfers heat from the exhaust air stream to the cold fresh air supply. By the natural laws of physics, whenever cold air is warmed, humidity is reduced, and condensation control is the result. The two air streams are 100% separated at all times. The fresh air introduced into your home is warm and dry and provides a permanently fresh, healthy, indoor environment.
An HRV can recover up to 5 times more energy than it costs to operate. This level of efficiency is unmatched by any other domestic appliance.
Unlike other condensation control devices, HRVs perform best, when conditions are at their worst. Sunshine, a warm roof space or heating elements, are unnecessary. HRVs ventilate, 24 hours a day, every day.

An HRV Will:
- Exhaust, stale, polluted, humid air.
- Introduce fresh, dry, warm air
- Transfer heat from stale, damp, exhaust air to preheat fresh incoming air
- Reduce condensation, mould, mildew, etc.
