ERV Manufacturer — Breeze Energy Recovery Ventilators
A tight house needs fresh air, and bringing it in should not cost the heat or humidity already inside. Breeze ERVs recover both from the outgoing air and keep running through Canadian winters with no electric preheater. They are already installed in single-family homes, multifamily buildings and condos across Canada.

What Installers Notice
The 42–170 CFM model is 9.4 in. thick and fits ceiling spaces a standard ERV cabinet will not. Auto-balancing holds supply and exhaust together at the rated external static pressure. A mirror configuration takes duct runs from the other side. There is no condensate drain to route. Side-port and top-port versions are available, with two washable MERV 8 filters as standard. Four models use recirculation defrost; the compact 50–100 CFM model uses exhaust defrost.
Built for Cold Winters
HVI rates the 42–170 CFM model at 86 % SRE at 0 °C and 67 % at −25 °C, tested over 72 hours at the cold end of the program.

Working with EXINDA
Distributors get product documents, sample units, training and spare parts. Contractors and engineers can start with four things: location, dwelling type, design ventilation rate and where the unit will mount. We send back the model selection and submittal. HVAC brands can discuss their own range built on the Breeze platform.
