Lifebreath Heat Recovery Ventilators (HRVs)
Lifebreath Residential HRVs are the best choice for ventilating homes or workplaces. These units are designed to provide fresh air into the building while exhausting an equal amount of stale air to the outside. During the heating season, Lifebreaths heat recovery ventilators (HRVs) replaces stale air with fresh air throughout homes and businesses, helping prevent moisture build-up, toxic mold and rot.
Benefits of Choosing a Lifebreath HRV
Maximum Heat Transfer
Lifebreath’s patented counter cross flow design guarantees a maximum displacement of energy throughout the heat recovery core. This allows for the maximum possible heat transfer.
Ease of Maintenance
An advanced, service-friendly design features easy-access doors and smooth cell rails, which allow for the core to be slid out and washed with minimal effort. It also features reasonable plate separation to ensure that dirt and debris is efficiently removed from between the washable plates.
Best-In-Class Lifetime Warranty
The high-quality construction of this non-moving part ensures a lifetime of performance and peace of mind, which is backed by Lifebreath’s commitment to you.
Maximum Airflow Design
The most efficient core in today’s market features the perfect balance of heat recovery and airflow. This model of efficiency was designed using computer-generated fluid dynamics to determine the optimal pattern of the plate surfaces and spacing.
Non-Toxic & Environmentally Friendly
The Lifebreath core is comprised of aluminum plates. Not only are these environmentally friendly, but they’re also non-toxic and do not emit gas like other materials. On its own, the durability and long-life of these cores would be environmentally beneficial, but that environmental stewardship is augmented by the fact that the finished core itself is completely recyclable at the end of its life cycle – as is all material used during the manufacturing process.
Durability in All Climates
In addition to being a strong conductor of energy, aluminum is much more durable than conventional materials found in competitive products. You can have complete confidence in the durability and performance of the unit – regardless of the climate in which it’s installed.
