Indoor air quality is crucial for maintaining good health and productivity, and a heat recovery ventilation system (HRV) is an effective way to ensure that the air in your home or workplace is healthy and clean. HRVs are designed to provide a constant supply of fresh air while also reducing energy consumption by recovering heat from the exhaust air. But with so many different HRV systems on the market, how do you choose the right one for your needs?
Here are some factors to consider when selecting an Heat Recovery Ventilation System;
1. Size
The size of the HRV system you choose will depend on the size of your home or building. HRV systems are rated according to their airflow capacity, which is measured in cubic feet per minute (CFM). You will need to choose a system that can provide enough ventilation for your space without being too large or too small. Click here to view our blog on correct sizing of an MVHR.
2. Heat Recovery Efficiency
The efficiency of an HRV system is a measure of how effectively it recovers heat from the exhaust air. Look for a system with a high efficiency rating, as this will help to reduce your energy costs.
3. Noise Level
HRV systems can be noisy, especially if they are installed in a living area. Look for a system with a low noise level, or one that can be installed in a location that is not likely to cause disturbance.
4. Maintenance
HRV systems require regular maintenance to ensure that they continue to operate effectively. Look for a system that is easy to maintain, with replaceable filters and accessible components. Click here for more information on our maintenance package.
5. Installation
Consider the installation process for the HRV system. Some systems require professional installation, while others can be installed by homeowners with a bit of DIY experience. Choose a system that you are comfortable installing, or hire a professional if necessary. Click here to view our blog on different options of install.
6. Cost
The cost of an HRV system can vary widely depending on its size, efficiency, and features. Consider your budget when choosing a system, but keep in mind that a higher-priced system may be more efficient and cost-effective in the long run.
7. Brand Reputation
Choose an HRV system from a reputable brand that has a track record of quality and reliability. Look for systems with warranties that cover parts and labour, as this will provide added peace of mind.
By considering these factors, you can choose an HRV system that is right for your home or workplace, providing you with clean and healthy air while also reducing your energy costs.
