An HRV system uses filters to remove dust, dirt and other contaminants from the air.
Clean filters are important for the system to work well and for a healthy indoor climate.
How often do HRV filters need to be replaced?
Most HRV filters need to be replaced roughly once or twice a year.
The exact frequency depends on:
- The home's surroundings.
- How the installation is used.
- How dirty the filters are.
- The quality of the filters used.
How do I recognise dirty filters?
Filters may need replacing when:
- The system makes more noise.
- The air quality feels less good.
- There's more dust in the house.
- The ventilation works less well.
Can I replace the filters myself?
With many HRV systems, you can replace the filters yourself.
Keep in mind:
- Use filters suitable for your installation.
- Put the filters back correctly.
- Check the direction of the airflow.
When is maintenance needed?
Besides replacing filters, periodic maintenance is important.
During maintenance, we check the entire system and make sure the installation keeps functioning well.
