A Heat Recovery Ventilator (HRV) is a ventilation system designed to improve indoor air quality while conserving energy. It works by exchanging stale indoor air with fresh outdoor air, using a heat exchanger to transfer heat between the two airflows. In winter, the HRV captures heat from the outgoing air and transfers it to the incoming cold air, while in summer, it helps cool the incoming air. This process reduces the energy needed to heat or cool the air, making HRVs an energy-efficient solution for maintaining proper ventilation in tightly sealed homes.
