OVERVIEW

Upgrade your indoor air quality and energy efficiency with Vents US Frigate HRV EC systems from HVACDirect.com. Designed for modern residential and light commercial ventilation applications, the Frigate HRV EC series delivers continuous balanced fresh air exchange while recovering heat from outgoing exhaust air to help reduce heating energy loss throughout the year. These advanced Heat Recovery Ventilators are ideal for airtight homes, apartments, condos, cottages, and small offices where dependable ventilation and indoor comfort are essential. Built with high-efficiency heat recovery technology, Vents US Frigate HRV EC units use durable polystyrene cross-flow recovery cores designed to transfer heat from outgoing stale air to incoming fresh outdoor air. This process helps maintain comfortable indoor temperatures during colder seasons while reducing the workload on HVAC systems. Depending on the model, sensible recovery efficiency ratings can reach up to 73%, supporting lower heating costs and improved overall energy efficiency.

Key Features

  • High-Efficiency Heat Recovery Core: Polystyrene cross-flow core helps recover heat from outgoing air for improved efficiency.
  • Energy-Efficient EC Motors: Provides quieter operation and lower power consumption compared to standard motors.
  • Balanced Fresh Air Ventilation: Continuously exhausts stale indoor air while supplying filtered outdoor air.
  • Sensible Recovery Efficiency up to 73%: Helps reduce heating energy loss during colder months.
  • Recirculation Defrost: Uses a pressure-neutral recirculation damper. Warm exhaust air is redirected over the core to prevent freezing without stopping the airflow.
