Air vent device including a light device to preheat supply air

A heating device for use with an air valve, for heating a fresh air stream drawn through a fresh air inlet mounted in an exterior wall and into a habitable room, the heating device comprising:

• a receiver consisting substantially of air-tight material,
• the receiver being adapted to be tightly attached to the interior side of an exterior wall having an interior side, an exterior side, and an internal valve opening extending between the interior side and the exterior side, the receiver attached to the interior side being positioned around the internal valve opening,
• the receiver being divided into an outer chamber and an inner chamber with a connection being established between the chambers in order to permit air to flow from the outer chamber into the inner chamber,
• a bulb holder having a supply of electrical current being mounted within the inner chamber of the receiver, and
• a heat-generating bulb being mounted on and electrically connected to the bulb holder for generating heat so that a fresh air stream flowing inwardly through the internal valve opening, the outer chamber, and the inner chamber, will be heated by the heat-generating bulb before the air stream leaves the receiver and escapes into the habitable room.
