Vents Frigate 80R Whole Home Energy Recovery Ventilator

Vents Frigate 80R Whole House ERV (Cold Climate Ready) - Up to 93 CFM

Bring in filtered fresh air and exhaust stale indoor air, while helping retain comfort with the Vents Frigate 80R ERV - a compact, high-efficiency whole house ERV system designed for homes up to 2,000 sq. ft. in colder climates.

The Frigate 80R Energy Recovery Ventilator delivers up to 93 CFM of balanced ventilation and uses an enthalpy recovery core to transfer heat (and moisture) between airstreams. That means healthier indoor air with less energy waste versus basic exhaust-only ventilation.

With a low-profile 9 1/8" slim casing, the Vents Frigate 80R is an easy fit for mechanical rooms and tight installs.

Built for Colder Weather: Fan Defrost Recirculation

Cold climate ventilation needs freeze protection. The upgraded Frigate 80R includes fan defrost recirculation, designed to help prevent frost accumulation during winter operation, so you can maintain consistent, year-round air exchange when temperatures drop.

Why Choose a Whole Home ERV?

A properly sized whole home ERV helps support:

• Healthier indoor air quality by reducing CO₂ buildup, odors, and humidity swings
• More consistent, balanced ventilation compared to spot fans alone
• Improved comfort through energy recovery (less heat loss than bringing air in “raw”)

Add a 20/40/60-minute boost timer so you can quickly increase whole-home ventilation when humidity, odors, or stale air build up. Add it with your Frigate ERV/HRV for only $50. (just add to cart and discount will apply)
