Our compact, electrically - powered HRV moves stale, contaminated, warm air from inside the house to outdoors. At the same time it draws fresh oxygen-laden air from outside and distributes it throughout the house. Stale, polluted air is constantly being replaced by an equal quantity of fresh clean air. As the two air streams pass through the unit they do not mix. They pass on either side of an aluminum heat-exchange core which transfers heat from the outgoing air to the incoming air.
The efficiency of the Lifebreath HRV is so great that virtually none of the warmth collected from your home is lost to the outside. In summer, the HRV works in reverse - removing heat from the incoming air and transferring it to the outgoing air, to keep your home cool and fresh.
