Lifebreath HRV
Our compact, electrically - powered HRV moves stale, contaminated, warm air from inside the house to outdoors. At the same time it draws fresh oxygen-laden air from outside and distributes it throughout the house. Stale, polluted air is constantly being replaced by an equal quantity of fresh clean air. |
