Sure, you could open a window or door in your home to let the fresh air inside.
Unfortunately, as heated or cooled air escapes, your comfort system works a little
harder, and costs you money in lost efficiency. Carrier Performance series HRVs
and ERVs are designed to expel stale, polluted indoor air and refresh your home
with clean, outside air. These units maintain higher energy efficiency by
recovering heat or energy from the outgoing air and transferring it to fresh,
incoming air. This allows the incoming air to more closely match the temperature
of air circulating through your home. By minimizing heat loss and helping
maintain proper humidity, these units can maximize energy efficiency while
lowering utility costs.

How Ventilation Affects Efficiency
Over 100 years ago, a humble but
determined engineer solved one of
mankind’s most elusive challenges by
controlling the indoor environment. A
leading engineer of his
day, Dr. Willis Carrier would
f
ile more than 80 patents
over the course of his
career. His genius would
enable incredible advancements in
health care, manufacturing processes,
food preservation, art and historical
conservation, indoor comfort and
much more.
Carrier’s foresight changed the world
forever and paved the way for over a
century of once-impossible innovations.
Yet in addition to being an accomplished
inventor, he was also an avid outdoors-
man. Carrier recognized the power and
beauty of the natural environment. This
appreciation of our world and its
resources continues to guide Carrier
Corporation today. We will never rest on
our accomplishments, but instead
consistently look for ways to improve our
products, our environment and our world.

recovery ventilators (HRVs) and energy
recovery ventilators (ERVs) can bring a
little of the outside world into your
home environment – clean, fresh air
– while maintaining your comfort and
the efficiency of your heating and
cooling system.
