As the two air streams pass through the HRV 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 house 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, keeping your home cool and fresh.
- Tempered fresh air is distributed throughout the house.
- The Lifebreath HRV can eliminate the need for separate exhaust fans in kitchens and bathrooms which can often be noisy and inefficient.
- The Lifebreath HRV moves stale air out, replaces it with fresh air.
The perfect balance of
clean, fresh air
What sets Lifebreath ventilation
technologies ahead of the others
is “balanced ventilation”. This
means for every cubic meter of fresh
air introduced into the home an
equal amount of stale, contaminated
air is exhausted out. Unlike other “simple” ventilation strategies the
HRV is an engineered system
designed to avoid depressurization
of the home and the development
of air infiltration from wall cavities
which can lead to moisture damage,
rot and harmful mold.
Installation flexibility
Lifebreath HRV’s come in an array
of models to adapt to the most
challenging installations. Our top and
side port configurations are
ideally suited for any new and retrofit
project. Consult your authorized
