Energy Efficiency

Recovers up to 82% of the energy from the extracted air and uses it to temper the incoming fresh air, optimizing the energy required to pre-cool or pre-heat the fresh outside air.

Improved Indoor Air Quality

HERO® appliances supply fresh, tempered air into indoor spaces while removing excess moisture, ensuring a healthy, comfortable living environment.

Easy Installation & Maintenance

HERO® appliances include rubberized duct seals and easy-connect ports for simple set-up. Unobstructed front access allows for quick cleaning and easy maintenance.
