Why RecoupAerator?

There was a time when RecoupAerator was the only whole-house mechanical ventilation system around – I guess you can say we were ahead of our time.  Today, there may be imitators, but none compete with the performance of RecoupAerator.  No matter how big or how well-known our competitors may be, none offer the level of performance available with Recoupaerator – a fact supported by the industry’s own independent testing agency.  So if your family’s health is important enough to install fresh air ventilation, it’s important to take the time to understand what makes RecoupAerator so superior.

RecoupAerator 200DX is the only ERV that addresses every aspect of air — quality, heat, moisture, and pressure.  By installing a balanced mechanical ventilation solution that includes RecoupAerator, homeowners are taking a proactive approach to control their living environment instead of leaving indoor air quality to chance.

Choosing an ERV

Not all ERVs are alike.  Choosing the right ERV impacts the quality of air you breathe and the final cost of your system.  It’s important to understand the differences in the most critical areas of performance.

Energy transfer rating – what % of outbound energy is transferred to inbound air?

Cost-of-Ownership – how much does it cost per year to operate?

Moisture transfer efficiency – does the system effectively manage moisture and not just heat?

Filtration efficiency – how well does the ERV filter contaminants?

Ease of installation and service – is the ERV easy to service?

It begins with fresh air.  To ventilate properly, stale air must be exchanged with fresh air from outdoors.  Don’t settle for a plug-in system that recirculates stale air. RecoupAerator is rated MERV 12, in other words as fresh air is brought in to the home, over 95% of the contaminants as small as 3.5 microns are removed.

It’s also important to install a system that transfers both heat energy and moisture.  RecoupAerator leads the industry with 95% heat transfer efficiency and up to 75% of the moisture.  Simply put this means that 95% of the heat you paid for is transferred from the air being exhausted back to the incoming fresh air stream.  This industry-leading efficiency rating translates in to the lowest cost-of-ownership available in whole-house ERVs.

The beauty of our patented design is simplicity.  Fewer moving parts mean less maintenance.  RecoupAerator even alerts when it’s time for a filter change.  Possibly one of the most important features of RecoupAerator is its ability to automatically balance air flow and pressure. RecoupAerator doesn’t require continuous mechanical tuning like other systems.  If air flow is restricted by dirty filters or even a wasp nest – RecoupAerator automatically increases air volume to ensure indoor air remains fresh and clean.  When your home is properly pressurized, it guards against air leaking in or out of the house, ensuring you the highest level of air quality inside your home. This gives you peace-of-mind in knowing that your ventilation system is always working properly.

Installation

Contractors appreciate the ease of installing RecoupAerator compared to other ERVs.  That’s because RecoupAerator is as close to a plug & play as you can find in a whole-house ERV.

Self-balancing air flow eliminates any necessary mechanical tuning by the installer, ensuring perfect air flow from the day it’s installed.  Self-balancing air flow compensates for air drag caused by off-center duct placement or the use of flex duct.
