SWERV Referral Partners

How to recommend SWERV

The 10-second pitch

"SWERV is a window unit that swaps your stale indoor air for fresh, filtered outdoor air, while keeping about 85% of your heat or AC. No ducts, no contractor. It installs in 15 minutes. And if you order through me, you get 2 free filters, a full year's worth."

Their gift

2 free filters ($98 value) with any SWERV ordered through your link or code. Your link puts them in the cart at $0. Filters last ~6 months, so lead with "a free year of filters." One gift per order, US only. If the SWERV is returned, the filters come back unopened or $49 per opened filter is deducted from the refund.

  1. Quiet, powerful fans. Four brushless fans, push and pull.
  2. Efficient ceramic core. Captures heat and moisture from outgoing air.
  3. MERV-13 + activated carbon filter. Pollen, smoke and smells stay outside.
  4. Dial interface + app. Indoor and outdoor CO2, temp and humidity.
  5. Real bamboo front panel. Looks like furniture, not equipment.
  6. Window bracket. Fits sliders, single and double-hung.
  7. Thick foam insulation. Seals the gap, stays in year-round.

Great fit when someone says

  • "My bedroom feels stuffy by morning" or CO2 over 1,000 ppm
  • "I can't leave windows open" (noise, pollen, smoke, heat, cold)
  • Condensation, musty smells, or mold that keeps coming back
  • "I rent, I can't touch the HVAC"
  • "I have a purifier and it still feels stale"

Not a fit (save the return)

  • No slider, single or double-hung window to use
  • Lives outside the US
  • Wants it to replace AC or heat. It's ventilation, not an AC
  • Wants a whole house from one unit. One SWERV serves about 1,000 sq ft, best in the bedroom

Answers to what they'll ask

"My air purifier handles it." Purifiers catch particles. CO2, VOCs and radon are gases and go straight through. Only fresh air removes them.

"Why not just open a window?" You lose your heat or AC and let in pollen, smoke and noise. SWERV filters the air and keeps most of the energy.

"Is it loud?" Most people run it at about half speed and sleep right next to it. Low is 35 dBA.

"Does it work in winter and summer?" Yes. It stays in the window in rain and cold (rated -22°F to 150°F). Auto mode adjusts on its own using indoor and outdoor sensors.

"Is it certified?" Designed to UL 1815, certification in progress. Current units ship in our paid beta with a short beta agreement. Be upfront. It builds trust.

"When does it ship?" It's on pre-order and ships in batches. The current ship date is on the product page.

"What if it's not for me?" 30-day returns, 5-year limited warranty, and they can email the founder directly.

How to share it

  • Pros: add your link to every IAQ report, quote or follow-up email
  • Owners: send it to the friend who asked about the box in your window
  • Lead with the gift: "Use my code and you get a free year of filters"
  • If they come back later, they just type your code at checkout
  • Show a CO2 reading before and after. Numbers sell it
  • Always disclose: "I'm a SWERV referral partner" or #ad
  • Talk about what you measured. Never say it treats, cures or prevents anything (mold illness, asthma, CIRS, allergies), and never call it UL certified yet
