Plate cores need little; rotary wheels need periodic cleaning and drive checks.
Read article →Which Is Better: Plate or Rotary?
Plate wins on simplicity and isolation; rotary wins on peak effectiveness and humidity recovery.
Read article →How Do I Stop a Heat Exchanger From Freezing?
Frost forms when exhaust air drops below freezing; common fixes are bypass, preheat, and frost-resistant cores.
Read article →Do I Need Humidity (Enthalpy) Recovery?
If your building fights humidity, an enthalpy wheel or membrane recovers moisture as well as heat.
