Why choose a Commercial ERV instead of “exhaust-only”?

• Better IAQ: continuous fresh air intake + controlled exhaust
• Lower operating cost: recovers energy from exhaust air via enthalpy core
• More comfort: reduces temperature swings and helps manage humidity load
• More control: integrated automation + external control compatibility
• Options & add-ons
• Optional roof cover (recommended for outdoor installs)
• External controls (supported via control device connections)

FAQ's

What type of core does do Airlite ERVs use, and what does it recover?
Airlite uses an enthalpy heat exchanger to transfer sensible + latent energy between airstreams. That means it recovers both temperature and moisture, helping reduce the heating/cooling load while maintaining ventilation rates.

What defrost strategy is used for cold-weather operation?
Yes-Vents Airlite Commercial units includes frost protection via fan-stop defrost. When outdoor air temp drops below 23°F (-5°C), the control logic cycles the supply fan off to prevent core freeze while continuing exhaust (sequence depends on the unit’s control settings).

What filtration ships with the unit, and where is it installed?
Standard filtration is MERV 6 on both supply and exhaust streams. Filters are installed upstream of the core to protect the heat exchanger and fans. Keep a service interval based on site conditions (construction dust, high-occupancy spaces, etc.).

Can the unit be installed outdoors, and what should I do to protect it?
Yes-outdoor installation is supported. For longevity and weather protection, use the optional roof cover, verify proper drainage/condensate management, and follow best practices: secure mounting, sealed penetrations, and code-compliant electrical disconnect/access.
