Exinda’s Energy Recovery Ventilators (ERVs) provide balanced, energy-efficient ventilation solutions for residential and light commercial applications. Designed by an HVI-certified ERV manufacturer and built to meet rigorous UL 1812 safety and CSA C439 performance standards, Exinda ERVs ensure healthy indoor air quality while minimizing energy loss. Our units capture heat and moisture from stale exhaust air and transfer it to incoming fresh air, reducing the load on HVAC systems and helping maintain comfortable humidity levels year-round. The result is cost-effective compliance with ventilation codes (e.g. ASHRAE 62.2 for homes) and a healthier indoor environment for occupants.
Why Choose Exinda ERVs? Exinda combines advanced engineering with OEM/ODM manufacturing expertise. We offer:
Certified Performance & Quality: Each model is tested to Home Ventilating Institute (HVI) standards for airflow, efficiency, and cold-weather operation. Units are UL-1812 listed and CSA C439 certified for use in the U.S. and Canada, ensuring they meet the same benchmarks as top North American brands. This means architects and builders can trust our ERVs to perform as advertised and satisfy building code requirements (“HVI certified ERV manufacturer” credibility). For example, Exinda’s high-efficiency heat exchange core achieves over 75% sensible heat recovery at 32°F (0°C) conditions – on par with leading ERVs – and continues to operate even in extreme cold weather.
Cold-Climate Optimized: Engineered as true cold climate ERVs, Exinda units are built to deliver reliable ventilation in harsh winter conditions. Models feature automatic frost-control strategies (exhaust bypass or recirculation defrost depending on the unit) that keep the ERV core from freezing when outdoor temperatures plummet. In fact, our systems are approved for operation down to -13°F (-25°C). Even at these sub-zero temperatures, Exinda ERVs will periodically cycle into defrost mode to protect the core, then resume balanced ventilation – ensuring continuous fresh air supply in cold climates without manual intervention. This all-climate capability mirrors competitors’ “any climate” designs, but Exinda takes it further by validating performance at extreme conditions. Builders in Canada or northern US can specify Exinda with confidence that it’s a cold-climate ERV solution built for their region.
Balanced Airflow & Auto-Balancing Technology: All Exinda ERVs use electronically commutated ECM motors with smart controllers to maintain constant airflow. Our auto-balancing feature automatically adjusts fan speeds to compensate for duct resistance or filter clogging, thus ensuring supply and exhaust airflows remain equal. This prevents pressure imbalances in the building and maximizes energy recovery. For the installer, auto-balancing means faster commissioning – Exinda units self-adjust to deliver the set airflow without the tedious manual balancing many systems require. In fact, installation is among the quickest in its class, reducing setup time by up to 20 minutes per unit thanks to this self-balancing design. The benefit for (HVAC contractors and builders) is a more reliable, code-compliant ventilation system with less fine-tuning, saving labor costs and avoiding call-backs.
High Energy Efficiency: With a high-performance cross-flow heat exchanger core, Exinda ERVs recover both heat and humidity (latent energy) from exhaust air. This reclaimed energy is used to pre-condition incoming fresh air, dramatically cutting heating and cooling loads. The units deliver exceptional cfm/Watt efficiency and often qualify for energy-efficiency programs (many models meet ENERGY STAR® criteria for heat-recovery ventilators). For example, at 64 CFM our ERV can recover around 77% of the heat from exhaust air at freezing conditions, meaning far less furnace or AC runtime is needed to maintain comfort. By specifying Exinda, developers can improve building energy scores and occupants enjoy lower utility bills – a win-win for sustainable construction. Moreover, each Exinda ERV comes with high MERV 8 filters (upgradeable to higher MERVs) to ensure incoming air is clean, further enhancing indoor air quality without sacrificing efficiency.
Ease of Maintenance & Reliability: Exinda ERVs are built for longevity and hassle-free upkeep, crucial for B2B clients and facility managers. The cabinets are constructed of durable, corrosion-resistant materials, and each unit features an easily accessible panel for tool-free maintenance. Washable filters are front-access and can be cleaned or replaced in minutes, encouraging regular maintenance and peak performance. The energy exchange core is static (no moving parts) and of high quality; it does not require washing – just periodic vacuuming of the core face, similar to competitor units. All components, from the ECM brushless motors to the controls, are designed for continuous operation. By incorporating fewer failure-prone parts and providing built-in protection (like motor thermal cutoffs and frost control), Exinda ensures a robust product. We back this reliability with a strong warranty program (e.g. multi-year warranty on the ERV core and parts), giving wholesalers and OEM partners peace of mind. In short, Exinda ERVs are “built to last” solutions that minimize downtime and service calls – a key selling point when pitching to builders and commercial clients who demand long-term performance
OEM/ODM Partnership Advantages: As an experienced manufacturer, Exinda offers OEM/ODM services for brands and large projects. We have the production capacity and engineering team to customize ERV units for specific OEM requirements – whether it’s a private-labeled exterior, a custom control interface, or integration into a larger HVAC system. Our ODM strengths mean we can design compact, HVI-certified ERVs tailored to unique specifications, which is ideal for HVAC brands seeking a reliable manufacturing partner for energy recovery ventilators. Unlike some competitors who only sell under their own brand, Exinda is flexible in partnerships, making us an attractive ERV OEM manufacturer for companies looking to expand their product line with a proven design. We maintain the same high standards (UL/HVI/CSA compliance, full testing) for our OEM units, so partners get all the benefits of Exinda’s quality and certifications. This approach allows HVAC distributors and large-scale projects (e.g. condo developers, modular home builders) to incorporate Exinda’s technology under their own branding, knowing that the underlying product meets North American performance benchmarks.
Exinda ERV Models and Specifications
Our product line covers a range of airflow capacities to meet different building sizes and ventilation needs. Below is an overview of Exinda’s ERV models, their key specs, and suitable applications:
W-Series ERVs (Wall-Mount Units): W100 and W152 – These models are designed for wall or sturdy shelf mounting in utility rooms, equipment closets, or basements. The W100 provides a flow range of 54–100 CFM (ideal for medium-sized homes or individual townhomes), while the larger W152 ranges from 57–152 CFM to serve large custom homes or light commercial spaces. Both feature 3 selectable fan speeds and use 6″ diameter ducts on the W152 (4″ on W100) for higher airflow throughput. The W-Series units employ Recirculation Defrost during winter, periodically cycling air to prevent frost – this allows them to be rated for -13°F operation in cold climates. With their slightly taller form factor (approximately 23″H x 16″D footprint for W152), they accommodate a larger heat exchanger core for maximum energy recovery. The W-Series is perfect for standalone homes, small commercial offices, or anywhere a high-performance, cold-climate ERV is needed. Builders will appreciate that both W100 and W152 are UL and CSA approved out of the box, and come with intuitive controls for fan speed and optional boost modes.

C-Series ERVs (Ceiling/Compact Units): C100 and C136 – The C-Series models are compact ERVs ideally suited for condos, apartments, or retrofit applications where space is at a premium. The C100 delivers 64–100 CFM, and the C136 goes up to 136 CFM on high, giving it enough capacity for larger apartments or small houses. Both units have an ultra-low profile (only ~9–10″ in height) so they can be hung from a ceiling, tucked above a dropped ceiling, or mounted in a bulkhead. Despite their small size, they contain the same core technology and auto-balancing ECM fans as the W-Series. The C100 uses an Exhaust-Only Defrost strategy (briefly pauses intake to let warm indoor air defrost the core), whereas the C136 is equipped with Recirculation Defrost for enhanced performance in colder climates (making the C136 suitable for all climate zones similar to the W-Series). Both C-Series models use 4″ ducts on C100 and 6″ ducts on C136, and both are UL 1812 and CSA 439 certified for safety and performance. They are truly “compact ERV for condo” solutions – for example, a multi-story condominium project can use a C100 in each unit to provide continuous fresh air without requiring large mechanical closets. Installation is simplified by included hanging brackets and a reversible core access door (allowing maintenance from either side, which is convenient in tight spaces). Noise levels are low (in the mid-20s dBA at low speed, nearly silent in living areas), ensuring the unit won’t disturb occupants – a critical consideration for apartments.
Technical Specifications (Highlights): All Exinda ERVs run on standard 120V/60Hz power and draw modest power (max ~150–180W on highest speed). The units come with built-in 3-speed controls and can also integrate with external controllers or smart ventilation systems if desired. Each model is equipped with MERV-8 filters (washable) on both intake and exhaust to keep the heat exchange core clean and to filter incoming air. The core itself is a static-plate crossflow design with high enthalpy performance, enabling transfer of moisture – this means in summer the ERV helps expel humidity from incoming air, and in winter it helps retain humidity indoors for comfort. No condensate drain is typically required on our ERVs up to these flow rates, simplifying installation (the units manage moisture through the enthalpy core and defrost cycle). Sound levels at maximum speed remain comfortable (~23–36 dBA depending on model, equivalent to a quiet fan). Table 1 below provides a snapshot of key parameters for each model:
| Model | Airflow Range | Defrost Type | Duct Size | Dimensions (HxWxD) | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Exinda W100 | 54 – 100 CFM | Recirculation defrost | 4 inch | 20.6″ x 14.9″ x 16.6″ | 44 lbs |
| Exinda W152 | 57 – 152 CFM | Recirculation defrost | 6 inch | 23.3″ x 15.9″ x 16.8″ | 46 lbs |
