Defrost System

Homeshield™ Defrosting System

No negative pressure is created by air exhausted to the outdoors since the air is recirculated into the house, helping to prevent any backdraft.

Fan Curves with Virtuo

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

For typical installation, Virtuo will ensure a 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.
