HRV INSTALLATION

• Have a nearby power supply
(120 volts, 60Hz)
• Choose a location which
allows the possibility
of mounting the unit to
supporting beams.
• The unit should be level
in order to allow proper
condensate drainage
• To minimize noise, do not
install unit in living area
• Ensure proper drainage
Connecting any of these types of appliances to the
HRV will void your warranty.
LOCATION
The HRV must be located in a conditioned space where it will be possible to conveniently service the unit. Typically
the HRV would be located in the mechanical room or an area close to the outside wall where the weatherhoods will
be mounted. If a basement area is not convenient or does not exist, a utility room may be used.
Attic installation must meet the following conditions:
• Attic temperature must be above freezing conditions at all times and for best performance should be 12°C
(54 °F).
• The condensate drain (if included) must be installed so that the condensate drains and is protected from freezing.
• The attic is easily accessible for equipment maintenance and inspection.
Connecting appliances to the HRV is not recommended. These include:
• Clothes dryer
• Range top
• Stovetop fan
• Central vacuum system
• Bathroom exhaust fans unless they are specifically designed for this purpose
These appliances may cause lint, dust or grease to collect in the HRV, damaging the unit.
