Does the Frigate HRV require regular maintenance?
Yes. Routine filter cleaning or replacement along with periodic inspections helps maintain proper airflow, indoor air quality, and long-term system efficiency.
How often should the filters be cleaned or replaced?
Filters are typically checked every few months and cleaned or replaced as needed depending on indoor air conditions, dust levels, and system usage. Regular maintenance helps keep the system operating efficiently.
Is the Frigate HRV noisy during operation?
No. The Frigate HRV is designed for quiet, continuous operation, making it suitable for homes and living spaces where comfort and low noise levels are important.
