The Vents-US Frigate 80 EC Energy Recovery Ventilator (ERV) provides energy-efficient, balanced fresh air ventilation for apartments, condominiums, cottages, tiny homes, and smaller houses. Delivering up to 88 CFM of fresh supply air, it continuously exchanges stale indoor air with fresh outdoor air while helping reduce heating and cooling energy losses.

Featuring highly efficient electronically commutated (EC) motors, an advanced enthalpy recovery core, and an ultra-slim 9 1/8-inch profile, the Frigate 80 EC combines quiet operation, low energy consumption, and reliable whole-home ventilation in one compact system.

Unlike conventional exhaust-only ventilation, the Frigate 80 EC supplies fresh outdoor air while exhausting stale indoor air. Its enthalpy recovery core transfers heat and moisture between the separate air streams, helping maintain indoor comfort and reduce the energy required to condition incoming air.

The system's energy-efficient EC motor allows precise airflow adjustment, while its compact construction makes it particularly well suited for apartments, tiny homes, cottages, and other installations with limited mechanical space.
