Heat Recovery Units (HRUs) are specialized systems designed to extract thermal energy from exhaust air and transfer it to incoming fresh air. This energy-efficient process helps precondition the air entering a building—either by preheating in cold conditions or precooling in warm climates—thereby reducing the load on HVAC systems. By utilizing energy that would otherwise be wasted, HRUs play a critical role in enhancing indoor comfort while lowering overall energy consumption and operational costs.
Commonly integrated into ventilation systems across commercial, industrial, and residential buildings, HRUs contribute significantly to sustainable building practices. Depending on design requirements, HRUs typically come in two configurations: Plate Heat Exchanger Recovery Units, which use static plates to transfer heat without mixing air streams, and Rotary Heat Exchanger Recovery Units, which feature a rotating wheel to efficiently transfer heat and moisture. These systems not only improve energy efficiency but also help reduce a building's carbon footprint, making them a smart investment for long-term environmental and economic benefits.

A Heat Recovery Unit (HRU) is a specialized HVAC component designed to capture thermal energy from exhaust or outgoing air and transfer it to incoming fresh air. By doing this preconditioning—either preheating in cool climates or precooling in warm ones—an HRU significantly reduces the heating or cooling demand on the HVAC system. This leads to lower energy consumption, reduced operational costs, and a smaller carbon footprint.
By reclaiming heat from exhaust air, the HRU reduces the work your heating or cooling system must do. For example, in winter, outdoor air is preheated using exhaust air; in summer, fresh air is precooled. Less load means lower energy consumption.
Yes. Plate HRUs typically recover sensible heat (temperature), while some rotary wheels can also transfer latent heat (moisture), which helps in humidity control. It depends on design and needs.
It depends on your climate, building usage, maintenance capacity, and space constraints. Rotary HRUs can often provide higher efficiency (especially in humid climates) but may require more maintenance. Plate HRUs are simpler and may be more robust in some applications.
Usually, at least once or twice a year. Key tasks include cleaning or replacing filters, inspecting and cleaning heat-exchange surfaces, checking for air leaks or damage to ducts and seals, and ensuring fans and motors are in good condition.
