Simultaneously, it will bring the same amount of cool, fresh air from the outside in. The flow of incoming and outgoing air will bypass each other inside the system, and heat from the air that is being expelled will be transferred to the incoming, fresh air -- thus the name Heat Recovery Ventilator. It is a balanced fresh air exchange system that will improve indoor air quality, makes your home smell better, feel better, and it is a great way to make your home more energy efficient. • To learn more about HRV Systems, visit our website or call us for a free inspection!
