Residential Energy Recovery Ventilation

Residential Energy Recovery Ventilators

EXINDA Breeze ERVs provide balanced residential ventilation for houses, apartments and multifamily projects. Use this collection to compare real models, then confirm airflow, pressure, installation and model-specific documents before specification.

Certification, airflow and control functions must be checked against the exact model and current submittal.

Selection guidance

How to select a residential ERV

Where the range fits, where it does not, and the three checks that prevent the most common mismatch between a catalogue airflow value and the actual installation.

Where the Breeze range fits

Balanced ventilation for houses, townhomes, apartments and multifamily suites, one unit per dwelling. Five sizes from 42 to 152 CFM; pick by the airflow at your design static pressure, not by floor area.

Where it does not

An ERV supplies outdoor air and recovers energy from the exhaust; it does not heat or cool the building. Do not connect it to a range hood, a clothes dryer or any process exhaust.

Airflow at design pressure

Select from the published supply and exhaust airflow at the project’s external static pressure, not from a free-air value alone.

Installation and service space

Confirm duct orientation, ceiling or wall location, filter access, core removal space and condensate requirements before choosing a cabinet.

Controls and integration

Review controller, boost-timer, interlock and communication requirements against the exact model submittal.

Technical support

Technical documents and selection support

Technical files remain model-specific so data from one ERV is not applied to the whole range.

Questions & answers

Residential ERV selection questions

How should an ERV be selected for a house or apartment?

Start with the required continuous and boost airflow, then check the model’s airflow at the expected external static pressure. Installation orientation, service clearance, frost-control requirements and controls should be confirmed before final selection.

Are all Breeze ERVs the same installation type?

No. The range includes different cabinet and duct-connection arrangements. Use the selected model’s drawing and submittal to coordinate duct routing and service access.

Where can contractors find performance data and Revit files?

Open the applicable model page for its current technical submittal and Revit download when available. Confirm that the drawing and submittal show the same model before project coordination.

What should I send for an ERV selection, and what will EXINDA return?

Send the project location and building type, required airflow in CFM, design external static pressure in in. w.g., and where you intend to mount the unit. Duct sizes, controls and quantity can follow if you have them.

EXINDA will return a model recommendation with the airflow at your operating point, the submittal, the dimensional drawing, the HVI listing reference and CSA certificate for that model, and lead time.
