What is a ventilator in HVAC?

A whole-house ventilation system uses a mechanical ventilation system to exchange stale air for fresh air for your entire home. A whole-house ventilator can provide multiple air exchanges a day and is most effective when connected to your HVAC system, including your smart thermostat. HVAC ventilation systems are whole-house solutions. This type of system is the best option for improving your home’s IAQ, removing moisture, and improving energy efficiency.

Heat recovery ventilator?

An HRV is an HVAC ventilator that transfers heat energy during the ventilation process. Using a heat exchanger, it recovers any residual heat left in the furnace exhaust or air handler exhaust in the winter, warming the outside air being brought in. In summer, it cools down fresh air being brought in before sending it through your HVAC system. The heat recovery ventilation process not only provides adequate ventilation for newer homes, but it can also save you money on your heating and cooling costs by reducing demand.
