Whole Home Ventilation (ERV) 

I’ve got an HRV in my new property and it makes such a big difference. Wish it was etc but even so it’s an amazing addition and won’t build or renovate a place without one ever again.

The air doesn't mix at all. Temperature exchange 😊 Nice presentation 🎉

Just Learning About This Ventilation Systems that I Absolutely Think I Need Because I'm Terribly Sick Whenever I'm In My House and I Have Tried and done everything Possible and this seems to be what Will Solve It Because I Feel better when I'm Outside. Just that No Installers are in My area and When I call up Most HVAC Companies in My Area to Ask About Home Ventilation Systems They Have No Idea WTH I'm Talking About.

Do you know of any other models that do the preheating instead of recirc or defrost? Intellibalance, broan, and renewaire premium all seem secretive about this which leads me to believe they defrost /recirc. Best explanation describing the magic of the tesseract surface area I've ever heard. Your nine year old is ahead of her years.

Great video Jake! Question though … we are building a new home. I had a Manual J analysis done by Energy Vanguard, which I have supplied to the HVAC contractor who is assembling the system quote. The contractor uses Renewaire ERVs. They are not familiar with Zehnder and skeptical of the value of separate ductwork systems for heating/cooling AND air exchange. Are there “white papers” or industry research which document the benefit of dedicated ductwork for air exchange?

Have you considered adding a calculation of the kwh saved by recovering the energy invested into cooling or heating?

Just awesome, hey Jake. Someday you will build me a house!

Granted, you may use MERV13 filters at intake and in or on the unit, still I wonder about the potential for the counterflow exchanger unit to grow mold...how can you acceptably clean it? If the home's heat is off, how do you ensure mold-free operation and for what duration of independent operation?

Seems that the length of the insulated exhaust and inlet pipes are pretty long, there will be large inefficiencies in the system due to this.

What if you run outdoor air pipes below the frost line. Would that help with defrost/recirculating

with this system do you do central heat and air or do you use mini splits?

Average cost and how offened needs calibration

First time I've heard of this system. Can this be installed after the build is complete?

Can a ERV system be installed with a Geothermal system?

“Research thing” really

So it will take a fart from one room, and put it into the other rooms.

hVac. the erv is the V...
