A heat recovery ventilator (HRV) is a mechanical system that exchanges stale air for fresh air while recovering heat to save energy. Some key benefits include:
- Improves indoor air quality
- Reduces energy bills
- Helps maintain a comfortable temperature
- Helps prevent dust mites, which trigger asthma
