Smart air.
Healthy spaces.
Continuous balanced fresh-air ventilation for modern, tightly-built homes — engineered to be quiet, efficient, and effortless to live with.
Built for the homes we live in today.
Tight building envelopes need mechanical ventilation. Our energy recovery ventilators move stale air out and fresh air in — while transferring heat and humidity between the streams, so your HVAC isn't fighting the weather.
Quiet ECM blowers
Forward-curved ECM motors deliver low-noise, energy-efficient airflow at every speed.
Enthalpy core
Cross-flow exchanger transfers heat and moisture year-round.
3-speed control
Low / Mid / High plus boost timers and 24V thermostat integration.
Certified
UL 1812 safety listed and CSA C439 performance verified.
ERV-168
Whole-home fresh air for medium and large residences. 42–168 CFM at 0.4 in. w.g., MERV 8 filtration standard, three speeds, and a fully insulated EPP cabinet.

Recover the energy you've already paid for.
Tight homes need balanced ventilation. Ventiq's enthalpy cores transfer heat and humidity between exhaust and intake airstreams — so fresh outdoor air arrives pre-conditioned.
A quiet exchange of heat and moisture.
Inside every Ventiq ERV, two airstreams flow past each other through a cross-flow exchanger. Energy and water vapor migrate from the warmer, more humid stream to the cooler, drier one — without the streams ever mixing.
- Summer: incoming hot, humid air is pre-cooled and dehumidified by the conditioned exhaust.
- Winter: outgoing warm room air pre-heats and humidifies the cold, dry intake.
Measured per CSA C439 at standard cooling conditions.
Rated airflow at residential duct system pressures.
Recirculation defrost protects the core in deep cold.
Let's talk ventilation.
