Brink Heat Recovery Ventilation

Brink HRV Systems | Australia

Explore centralised heat recovery ventilation for your home. Your PassivHaus supplies Brink HRV systems Australia-wide, with installation available in Canberra and locations within approximately 1.5 hours’ drive.

A ducted Brink system supplies fresh, filtered air to living spaces and extracts stale air from designated areas, recovering heat through its heat exchanger. Share your plans with us to discuss system suitability and a supply quote.

Brink HRV System

Ducted Whole-Home Ventilation

How Does a Brink HRV System Work?

A centralised Brink heat recovery ventilation system connects to a network of supply and extract ducts. Fresh, filtered outdoor air is supplied to living spaces, while stale air is extracted from areas identified in the ventilation design.
During colder weather, heat from outgoing air is transferred to incoming air through a heat exchanger. This reduces ventilation heat loss while maintaining a supply of fresh air.
Choosing the unit is one part of the project. Duct sizing, grille locations, controls, installation quality and commissioning all contribute to how the complete system performs.

The Complete System

Four Parts of a Successful Brink Installation

Correct Capacity

Select a unit to suit the required airflow and duct system.

Planned Ductwork

Coordinate duct routes, supply points and extract points with the floor plan.

Maintenance Access

Allow access to filters, the unit and relevant service components.

Commissioned Airflow

Measure and adjust airflow against the project’s design requirements.

Is Brink Right for Your Property?

Plan Your Centralised Ventilation System

New Homes

Planning ventilation during the design stage helps coordinate equipment location, duct routes and space requirements.

Existing Homes

Centralised systems may suit existing properties where there is enough room and access for the unit and ductwork. A property assessment helps establish what is practical.

Passive House Projects

Discuss the ventilation design and documentation requirements with your designer or certifier when selecting equipment for a certification project.

Bedrooms and Living Areas

Supply airflow needs to suit the intended use and occupancy of the rooms served.

Extract Areas

Extract points help remove stale and moisture-laden air from designated areas. Their locations and airflow rates should follow the ventilation design.

Filter and Service Access

Consider how filters will be inspected and replaced before deciding where the unit will be installed.

Selecting Your Brink System

From Floor Plan to a Brink HRV Quote

passivhaus assessment step 1

Send Your Project Details

Provide your postcode, plans and whether you need supply only or local installation.

passivhaus assessment step 2

Identify Space and Access

Share any proposed unit location, available duct space and known installation constraints.

passivhaus assessment step 3

Establish Design Requirements

Confirm the intended airflow requirements and relevant project specifications with your designer or installer.

passivhaus assessment step 4

Discuss a Suitable Unit

Contact us to discuss Brink options appropriate to the project. Model availability and specifications are confirmed during quotation.

number 5

Confirm Included Components

Check which equipment and accessories are included, and which ductwork, controls or installation items need to be arranged separately.

number 6

Arrange Supply and Installation

Confirm delivery arrangements and responsibilities. Our installation service is available around Canberra; other locations require a local installer.

number 7

Complete Commissioning

Have the installed system checked and balanced, retain the commissioning information and follow the manufacturer’s maintenance guidance.

Choosing the Right Equipment

Check the Specification Before Ordering

An HRV unit should be selected for the project’s airflow requirements and duct resistance, rather than bedroom count alone. Unit dimensions, connection positions, controls, filter options and access requirements also need consideration.

Heat recovery performance, noise and electrical consumption vary by model and operating conditions. Ask for the technical information for the proposed unit so it can be reviewed against your project requirements.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Contact Your PassivHaus to discuss Brink HRV supply for your project. We confirm suitable options, current availability and the quoted supply scope before ordering.
No. A centralised Brink system may also suit an existing home where there is sufficient space and access for the unit and ductwork. Suitability needs to be assessed for the individual property.
Selection depends on the design airflow, duct resistance, available space and project requirements. Send your plans and any ventilation specification so we can discuss the appropriate options and current availability.
A ducted HRV installation needs appropriate setup and commissioning. Measuring and adjusting supply and extract airflow helps establish whether the system is delivering the design requirements.
No. Heat recovery ventilation provides fresh air while recovering heat from outgoing air. It is not a substitute for a heating or cooling system.
Follow the instructions for your particular model, including filter inspection, cleaning or replacement and scheduled servicing. Keep the unit accessible and ask your installer about the maintenance requirements at handover.
