    How does an HRV Airsense™ ventilation system work?

    HRV AirSense™ is a positive pressure ventilation system* that takes drier air from your ceiling space, filters it and distributes it into the parts of your home that need it.  Its 5-layer WoolCare™ filter has exclusive filtration technology that helps improve your home’s indoor air quality by filtering out most of the common asthma and allergy triggers.  

    *HRV AirSense™ Balanced is a balanced pressure system, making it ideal for modern homes with tightly sealed windows and doors.

    Can an HRV Ventilation System filter out the coronavirus, and can it move the virus between rooms in my home?

    Your HRV system is a positive pressure ventilation system that takes drier air from your ceiling space, filters it and distributes it into the parts of your home that need it.  Your HRV filter has exclusive filtration technology that helps improve your home’s indoor air quality by filtering out most of the common asthma and allergy triggers, but it will not filter out the coronavirus.  Your system takes air from the ceiling space and so shouldn’t create airflow between rooms.  For any further questions on coronavirus or specific health concerns, we recommend that you contact your Doctor or Ministry of Health help line.

Then your installer will also talk you through how to get the perfect result from your new HRV AirSense™ system.
