A leader in energy recovery ventilation technology, Airxchange provides reliable energy recovery components for HVAC systems to meet outdoor air ventilation requirements. Airxchange ERV wheels dramatically reduce heating and cooling cost by using site-recovered energy to pre-condition fresh outdoor air for temperature and humidity. The resulting reduction in outdoor air load of up to 80% translates into a significant reduction in energy costs and allows downsizing of HVAC equipment for immediate return on investment. Airxchange components are available through most OEMs.
