HRV Ventilation Systems

One of the most critical components of air-tightening a home is proper ventilation.  Many homes in interior Alaska have inadequate ventilation, which can lead to high humidity levels, noxious odors, and even mold and mildew growth.  Maintaining proper ventilation is critical to a healthy indoor environment, especially when that environment is closed to the outside for more than 8 months a year.  Wolf Solar Electric is a dealer for the Venmar line of HRV (Heat Recovery Ventilation) systems.  An HRV is the most efficient method of mechanical ventilation for your home.  A heat exchanger inside the HRV unit captures heat from the exhaust air and re-heats the cold incoming air, saving you money and improving comfort inside the home.  There are several models of HRV available with different airflows and options.  Each HRV should be properly sized to the specific home and installation requirements.  Once installed, an HRV must be properly balanced for incoming and outgoing airflow.  Contact us today to discuss the HRV option that best fits your home!
