Reduced Electricity Costs
Clogged filters increase resistance, making the unit use more energy. Clean filters help save electricity.

Cleaner Air at Home
Reduced airflow hinders ventilation, allowing dust, bacteria, and other particles to linger in your home.

Reduced Operating Noise
Dirty filters force the fan to work harder, increasing resistance and noise in the ventilation system.

Fewer Unpleasant Odors
Filters remove odors from bathrooms, kitchens, and closets. Old filters reduce their effectiveness.
Frequently Asked Questions

Filter class refers to the size and amount of particles a filter can trap. The higher the classification, the more effectively the filter removes particles from the air.
For incoming outdoor air, it’s generally recommended to use higher-class filters. However, we always suggest following the manufacturer’s guidance and using the specific filter sets outlined in your unit’s eco-commissioning documentation.
For more information, take a look at our comprehensive guide to filter classes for heat recovery units.




It is recommended to change the filters in your HRV every 3 to 6 months, depending on how dirty they become. However, the key signs that your filters need replacing include:
- An increase in noise from the HRV
- A reduction in the amount of air being supplied or extracted
Smart HRVs with an electronic control panel and display screen show the volume of air supplied and extracted per hour.
For example, if a Zehnder ComfoAir Q350 HRV in a 140m² home operates at an optimal rate of 190m³ per hour but drops to 150–170m³, the filters should be replaced.


- Check the label on the unit itself, which usually displays the manufacturer and model number.
- Contact your installer or the developer/builder of your property for details.
- Measure the width, length, and height of the filter, then use these measurements to browse our online shop. Our system will suggest the correct recuperator filters for your unit.
