Your HRV filter is a key component in keeping your home’s air fresh and clean. In this blog, we'll explain what an HRV system is, why it's essential to keep its filter clean, and how you can easily maintain it.
HRV stands for Heat Recovery Ventilator. Your HRV plays a crucial role in maintaining a healthy indoor environment by continuously exchanging stale indoor air with fresh outdoor air. It helps to regulate humidity levels and remove indoor pollutants, ensuring you breathe cleaner air and enjoy a more comfortable living space.
Optimal Performance: A clean HRV filter allows your system to operate at its best, efficiently exchanging air and maintaining indoor air quality.
Preventive Maintenance: Regular cleaning prevents dust, dirt, and other particles from accumulating in the filter, prolonging the life of your HRV system and saving you potentially expensive maintenance costs.
Healthier Living Environment: By removing contaminants from the air, a clean HRV filter helps reduce allergens and respiratory irritants, promoting better health in your home.
There are many reasons why it's important to keep your HRV filter clean. Watch the video below or follow our step-by-step guide and learn how to keep your HRV system well maintained.
1. Turn off and Unplug Your HRV: Safety first! Switch off your HRV system and unplug it from the power source.
2. Locate the Filter(s): Open the door on the front of your HRV unit to access the filters.
3. Remove the Filter(s): Slide the filters forward from where they rest in the middle of the unit.
4. Clean Off Any Build-Up: Use a vacuum cleaner to remove any large build-up of dust or debris from the filters.
