Homeshield™ Defrosting System

Our unique Homeshield™ Defrosting System ensures that no negative pressure is created by air exhausted outdoors since the air is recirculated into the house, helping to prevent any backdraft.

Fan Curves with Virtuo Air Technology™

Thanks to Virtuo Air Technology™, there’s no need to balance the unit manually. Both PMSM motors are controlled by artificial intelligence, performing 120 readings per minute, then processing this information to maintain the requested airflow.

For typical installation, Virtuo will ensure balanced ventilation at every selected speed, regardless of the weather conditions, the type of connection, the variable speed furnace/AHU, the stack effect, the filter clogging, and so on. This results in peace of mind for installers and users, knowing that the unit will always remain balanced and that it will maintain its maximum heat/energy recovery efficiency.

Bonne efficacité énergétique, air beaucoup plus frais

Top-notch ventilation and excellent AirGreen support

I am absolutely thrilled with how well this Venmar AVS unit works. The air quality in our apartment is significantly improved. AirGreen's customer service was also outstanding.

Marwan (LaSalle, Quebec, Canada)
Acceptable performance, though I might need extra insulation for noise

I live near a busy street, so I hoped this unit would help with air and sound. It does filter air decently, but there's still some noise from the fan. It’s not unbearable, just noticeable. Probably best for quieter environments.

Efficace par temps humide, moins utile en hiver

Quand il fait très humide dehors, l’échangeur d’air fonctionne super bien. En hiver, je remarque moins d’avantages. Le rapport qualité-prix me semble correct.

Jean-François L. (Montreal, Quebec, Canada)
Bon compromis entre performance, coût et facilité d’utilisation

J’ai hésité longtemps avant d’acheter cet échangeur Venmar. Finalement, je ne regrette pas mon choix, car il fait bien le travail. Les techniciens d’AirGreen ont répondu à toutes mes questions. Un investissement qui vaut la peine pour une maison plus saine.

Réduit grandement l’humidité dans mon sous-sol

Je suis content de constater que mon sous-sol est beaucoup moins humide qu’avant. L’appareil tourne en continu, mais reste relativement silencieux. J’ai hâte de voir les effets en hiver.

Nice balance of efficiency and easy maintenance design

The Venmar AVS fits perfectly in our cottage. It's been running well without major noise. Cleaning the filters is simpler than I expected, so I'm quite happy.

Vraiment contente du résultat global après un mois

Après un mois d’utilisation, j’ai remarqué que mon air intérieur est beaucoup plus propre. Les odeurs circulent moins et l’humidité se gère bien. J’aurais simplement aimé un mode nuit plus silencieux.

Truly impressed with Venmar AVS® and AirGreen's top service

I recently took advantage of the LogisVert grant to upgrade my home's ventilation system. The Venmar AVS® Série N A160E65RT has exceeded every expectation.

Parfait pour éliminer l’humidité, l’air circule mieux partout

J’ai opté pour la série N-A160E65RT de Venmar sur les conseils d’un ami. AirGreen a fait une installation impeccable, et je vois déjà la différence. L’air est beaucoup moins humide, surtout dans le sous-sol. Très satisfait de mon achat.
