Air Exchange System and Energy Recovery Ventilation Systems

Air Exchanger Systems for Home Ventilation

Venmar Ventilation Constructo Heat Recovery Ventilators are the comfortable home solution for improved indoor air quality. Venmar HRV ventilation systems are a very popular choice and one of the best heat recovery air exchangers (HRV) of its category. Constructo air exchangers deliver an exceptional level of indoor air quality and excess humidity control.

Featuring a robust polypropylene core, the Constructo 1.5 provides mid-size (refer to local building code) homes with fresh air all year and retains heat in colder climates for improved home comfort. Optional filter upgrades are available to boost the filtration level while versatile main and optional wall controls make it easy to manage excess humidity and air flow throughout the home.

Heat Recovery Ventilator (HRV)

The Venmar Constructo heat recovery ventilator (HRV) is the proper choice for colder climates, where home heating is essential. The Venmar Constructo HRV keeps the home supplied with a steady flow of fresh outdoor air. As stale, warm air is expelled, the heat recovery core warms the incoming fresh, colder air before it is distributed throughout the home. The result is a constant supply of fresh air, no unpleasant drafts and greater home comfort. In addition to heat recovery and improved air quality, the HRV provides necessary ventilation while controlling excess humidity.
