Overview

How do you choose between an HRV and ERV System?


In general, Purahome believes (Greentek believes this also), if you use a heating system more often than air conditioning, choose anGreentek Professional Series Flow Through Diagram HRV. If you use an AC more than heating, choose an ERV. To make these general statements more specific, Purahome offers this further advice:



  • For a relatively smaller, tight house in a cold climate — especially a house with a large family (more water usage), choose an HRV.

  • For a relatively larger house in a cold climate — especially a house with few occupants — choose an ERV.

  • In a hot, humid, climate, choose an ERV as it will keep the moisture to the outside and will cost a little less overall to operate during the summer.

  • In mixed climates, choose either ventilator based on:        


- family size (the more people, the higher the moisture level ie tend towards an HRV), and


- age of home (the older the home, the more ventilated it is and the less moisture in the home ie. tend towards an ERV).


 


Greentek Energy Star Heat Recovery Ventilators


Greentek LogoThe Greentek Energy Star Heat Recovery Ventilators (HRVs) are a great choice for people that want improved air quality and ventilation. Greentek Energy Star certified HRVs are slightly different than their non-certified counterpart models. The Energy Star HRVs have a different motor/blower that is more energy efficient and the electronics are modified also. 


Specifically, we highly recommend the Energy Star Greentek HRV series for people who want humidity control and cleaner air in airtight structures while maximizing energy efficiency. Our research shows that individuals sensitized to airborne gases (i.e. formaldehyde, benzene, and other off-gassing VOCs) will drastically reduce indoor exposure to these gases by using a Greentek HRV sized by Purahome. Our experience also indicates that these HRVs are relatively easy to install and maintain, and will thus provide peace of mind on many levels. 


 


How do you choose an Energy Star HRV system?


Greentek Energy Star Rated HRVThe ventilators offer unique advanced features that provide superior performance, with every HRV model being HVI Certified. Purahome recommends the P Series (Professional) for most homes, and the D Series (Deluxe) for homes that require suction from an area with a vaulted ceiling. The Solace ES HRVs have been designed from manufacturing inception to be Energy Star certified whereas the Energy Star Professional Series are similar to the non-Energy Star Professional Series, but with more energy efficient motors and modified electronics. If limited space is available, the SS (Space-Saving) Series, not available in Energy Star certification, is usually the best option.


In all cases, Purahome appreciates everything that has gone in to making your Greentek HRV an excellent system from the Push Through Operation, Easy Installation System, DuoTrol Balancing System and Proportional Defrost to an Industry-Best Exclusive 10 Year Warranty. They work great because they have been engineered properly! Purahome is convinced any Greentek HRV customer will live longer and healthier!

Purahome balances all ERVs and HRVs we install with this special deviceYour Installation Needs To Be Balanced!


According to the CMHC in Canada, approximately 90% of installed HRVs are not balanced or maintained! Purahome has to agree with this finding. We have been into many homes with an existing HRV to provide healthier air and when we discuss it with the homeowner, they often do not know how it works or how to maintain it.  Purahome customers are educated on their HRVs and know what information to provide us if they wish to adjust any user settings. They are also called annually for their replacement filter kits that include our GREEN Benefect Disinfectant Cleaner.


 


 


 


 


 

Technology

How does the Greentek  Solace XPH 2.0 Energy Star Heat Recovery Ventilator Work?


Greentek ERV and HRV Installation Diagram


 


 


Greentek Energy Star HRVs were designed to overcome the engineering shortcominGreentek Energy Star Rated HRVgs of all other HRVs (and their installation issues). The HRV door opens upward for much easier access to the inside. There is no obstruction around the drain pan for much easier cleaning. The drain pan is also sloped to eliminate bacteria-producing stagnant water. The electronic controls are simple for easy operation. The “ISF” (Insert, Slide and Fix) collar system and the “SPM” (Single Person Mount) attachment system all make Greentek HRVs easier and quicker to install than competitive HRV brands.   


 


 


Greentek Push Through Design


Push Through Design 


Conventional HRVs have their fan/motors blowing air out of their ports which increases sound levels. Greentek HRVs employ “push through” design whereby each motor/fan PULLS air in from the ports and pushes it through the heat recovery core instead of out a port so that the core acts as a sound dampener. This makes Greentek HRVs very silent in operation. 


 


Greentek High Performance Engineered Motor


German-Engineered Motors


All Greentek HRVs are designed with high performance and reliable German-engineered fan/motors. Factory sealed and dynamically balanced, these motors are maintenance free for many years. The backward inclined motor blades offer a high air flow efficiency. The fan/motors are also permanently lubricated and have a very low energy consumption – 75 watts maximum (like a light bulb). Purahome really likes how Greentek has used voltage variation for the speed control of both fan motors in order to balance the HRV system.


 


Greentek DuoTrol Balancing System


DuoTrol Balancing


Every HRV installation requires balancing the system meaning air flow coming into your home and air being exhausted from your home are within 10% of one another. With every Greentek HRV, air flow gets balanced by simply adjusting the fan/motor speed for intake and exhaust and not by using mechanical dampers. This makes every Greentek HRV installation more silent and economical. By reducing motor speed to balance the unit you are reducing the noise that would be produced by balancing dampers. In addition, with this exclusive GREEN technology the Greentek HRV will consume less energy than comparable sized HRVs. 


 


Greentek ISF Revolutionary Collar System makes it a quick and simple installation!


ISF Collar System


ISF stands for “Insert, Slide and Fix”. Our installers love this revolutionary collar system and yours will too. This exclusive Greentek collar system enables you to manipulate the duct and secure it 100% airtight with the locking collar (without being on a ladder). The collar then slides into place on the Greentek HRV. This eliminates one of the challenges of installing an HRV - how to properly secure and seal an insulated duct to a metal or plastic HRV port.


 


Auxillary Connecting Relay


Unlike any other HRV, the Greentek HRVs feature an interlock relay that gives you the option to run the Greentek HRV only when the furnace fan is running. To do this with other HRVs requires about $120 in additional parts and labour -- it is already included in the Greentek HRV for less money!


 


Greentek Proportional Defrost saves energy!


Proportional Defrost


When the HRV needs to defrost the core, the amount of energy used is relative to the outside temperature – this is an exclusive Greentek GREEN feature! Other HRVs will defrost their cores with a maximum use of energy to ensure a complete defrost. In contrast, Greentek essentially increases the motor speed only when outdoor temperatures drop to provide increased defrost capacity. This means that on days that are not as cold (say -5° C) the defrost mode will function at low speed (unlike other HRVs!). This unique GREEN Greentek technology reduces energy usage by eliminating unnecessary defrost during milder days and offers a more silent operation.

Best Performance and WarrantyGreentek Solace XPH 2.0 HRV


As is the case with any whole home air equipment installation, best results are achieved with the furnace fan running, especially when a family member has a greater need for improved air quality. It is the customer’s choice whether to run the furnace fan 100% of the time or not. Although hydro costs will go up air quality will be better (a fair trade). With this in mind, only Greentek HRVs include a built-in Interlock Relay that shuts the HRV off when the furnace fan is not running


As far as Purahome can tell, Imperial Air Technologies is the only manufacturer that offers a complete range of products AND installation materials designed to improve indoor air quality while providing a full selection of accessories that facilitate installation.  After many diverse installations, our testing revealed:



  • Electronic balancing of fan speeds (fresh air in and stale air out) results in very quiet, smooth ventilation

  • every installation to date has significantly improved our customers’ air quality

  • customers were getting exciting results in real-time, real-world testing situations at work and at home


 10 Year Warranty


10 Year Warranty


10 years limited warranty (5 years 100% and 5 more years pro-rated) on the fan motors, lifetime warranty on the HRV Core and 5 years warranty on all other components.

Customer Reviews

I really appreciate the easy to use controller with my Greentek Series HRV. I also like that the HRV only needs my attention twice a year. It’s so simple -- I clean the core by simply pulling it out and rinsing it in the laundry tub every 6 months and then using the Microgerme sanitizer. I believe it keeps my air and my family healthier in our new home. N. Pershad


 


First of all, we would like to express our eternal gratitude to Mario and Purahome staff for the numerous ways our family has experienced benefits to our overall health through the implementation of your products! Before HRV Installation


The initial benefit of our HRV was experienced by our daughter who had suffered with night time stuffiness since she'd been old enough to express it. Through her young life we'd had her in to an ENT Specialist, she'd had X-Rays of her nasal passages which didn't show any issues, and had been provided a nasal spray (FLONASE) which had provided no relief. We felt helpless as her sleep was continually disrupted almost nightly; and in turn, so was ours. After the installation of the HRV, and in the 5 years since, she has been able to sleep with almost no complaints of "stuffiness"!


Every October, the interior of our home (new build in 2003) would change overnight with the outside temperature. The windows would have a "sheet" of water each morning (see photos). I would spend time every single morning, going to each window with a squeegee and rags cleaning up the water in efforts to protect our family from mould. 


Before Installation Picture - Obvious Problem!


With the installation of the HRV that problem has completely cleared up and we are so happy to have that health threat removed from our home!


We recently did some home renovations and were concerned about the "off-gassing". We didn't really realize how well the HRV works in that respect. We suffer with a chronic illness and are highly sensitive to VOC's etc., and we are so pleased to report that there have been no ill effects to our health from these renovations and new materials.


The HRV is very easy to use and maintain. The courteous staff at Purahome remind us when we need to change/purchase new filters, help us e


After HRV Installation


valuate any changes we could make and there's nothing easier than the Benefect Disinfectant spray for sanitizing the interior of the HRV! (It's a good hand sanitizer too!)


We cannot say enough good things about the staff at Purahome! They are kind, generous and caring people who take the time to go over the options and benefits of all their products. They truly care about your health and how they can help improve it.

FAQs

How do I set my dehumidistat (controller)?


We know that if a home is too humid (i.e.: above 60% relative humidity), moulds and other funguses will grow. We also know that if a home is too dry (i.e.: below 35%), viruses thrive. So ideally, the humidity level of a home should sit around 40-45% for maximum benefit and comfort. If you have a ventilator and a whole home humidifier, it is highly recommended that the humidifier be set 5-10% lower than the ventilator. This will ensure that your systems are working cohesively with one another.


There’s no water in my drain tube, is this normal?


The reason water drains from your HRV is because of moisture that builds up condensation from warm air touching the colder surfaces inside.  The drain is there to release that condensate water.  So, when there isn’t a moisture build up inside, there won’t be water inside your drain tube.  Moisture in the tube is also a result of lifestyle (cooking, bathing, etc.).


My house is too dry, what do I do?


One thing Purahome informs all of their customers of when showing interest in purchasing a ventilator is that they may also need a humidifier down the road. Ventilators do an exceptional job at reducing your exposure to harmful VOCs and other gases, in the winter. However, when taking in the dry winter air from outside, they can reduce the moisture content of your air. So if you would like to continue to benefit from your ventilator during the winter months, it would be best to invest in a humidifier.


I still have an inch of water on my windows. Is this a concern for mould growth?


No.  Water presence on the windows depends on a few factors, such as, how air tight your home is, the quality of windows, humidification, and ventilation.  If you do see any black growth, you can wipe it up with mild soap and water, or, use a safe disinfectant like Benefect.


What is the maintenance on my HRV/ERV? How do I clean my HRV/ERV core?


Every year, your HRV/ERV will require a new filter kit, which includes two prefilters and a bottle of Benefect Disinfectant. At the six month mark, your prefilters will need to be cleaned. This can be done by vacuum or hosing off the debris and spraying them with the Benefect Disinfectant.


Your HRV/ERV core will need to be taken cleaned once every 6 months. You do this by sliding the core out of its track and rinsing it under water. Before putting it back in its track, wait for the core to dry. We also recommend wiping the inside of your HRV/ERV with a natural disinfectant spray.


My HRV is not running. Is a service needed?


Check the power cord is not loose on top of the HRV. Then check the Controller and Duotrol settings. Set the controller to a low humidity setting. The Intermittent setting will shut down the HRV when the desired humidity in your home is reached whereas the Continuous setting will keep the HRV running at a lower speed. Other reasons why the unit is not running could be the door switch, this can be tested by simply pressing down on it and the HRV should run.


One of the motors isn’t running. Is it broken?


If one of the motors stops running, your unit has most likely entered a defrost cycle. Your Greentek Ventilator will enter an automatic defrost cycle when temperatures outside reach -5 ⁰C or below. This means that the motor drawing cold, outdoor air in through the core shuts off for 3-5 minutes every 20 minutes allowing any ice built-up in the core to melt. Greentek ventilators use proportional defrost cycles, so the colder it is outside, the longer the motor stays shut off.
