Details About the Installation in Montreal
This installation took place in a cozy, well-insulated home in Montreal. Our client was concerned about maintaining the quality of air during winter, as their home is located in an area with colder climates. The LifeBreath RNC6-ES, with its exceptional heat recovery efficiency and defrost recirculation feature, was the ideal choice to keep their indoor air fresh without compromising on energy consumption.
We installed the unit in a vertical configuration, optimizing the available space in the mechanical room. The system's compact dimensions (14” x 17.25” x 22.75”) made it easy to mount, while still offering powerful airflow of 152 PCM/CFM at 0.4 inches of pressure. This size was perfect for the home, efficiently managing airflow in every room.

Overcoming Challenges in Installation
One of the unique challenges we faced during this installation was the limited mechanical space available in the client's home. However, thanks to the compact design of the LifeBreath RNC6-ES, our team was able to carefully position the unit, ensuring that all the necessary ductwork and connections were securely fastened and routed efficiently.
To further optimize performance, we made sure that the MERV-13 filters were installed, which provided an extra layer of filtration, helping remove smaller particles and pollutants from the indoor air. The filters will greatly improve air quality by removing contaminants such as dust, allergens, and even certain viruses from the environment.
The Result: Improved Comfort and Energy Savings
After installation, our client immediately noticed a marked improvement in the quality of their indoor air. The LifeBreath RNC6-ES is designed to continuously exchange indoor air with fresh outdoor air, ensuring that pollutants, odors, and excess humidity are removed.
In addition to the obvious health benefits, the homeowner is also now experiencing reduced heating costs, thanks to the unit’s sensible recovery efficiency (SRE) of up to 73%, which means that 73% of the heat from the exhaust air is transferred back into the home. With the advanced recirculating damper defrost system, the unit works efficiently even in temperatures as low as -25°C (-13°F), making it perfectly suited for Montreal’s harsh winter climate.
Professional Installation and Customer Satisfaction
At AirGreen, we understand that proper installation is just as important as selecting the right product. Our team worked diligently to ensure that the LifeBreath RNC6-ES was installed according to the manufacturer’s specifications and local building codes. We used secure mounting systems to ensure the unit's longevity and provided our clients with detailed instructions on maintenance and usage to maximize the lifespan of their new HRV system.
The client was particularly impressed with the five-speed fan operation and LCD display, which allows them to easily control the ventilation speed and monitor the system’s performance in real-time. These features offer flexibility and control, ensuring the system works optimally for their comfort needs.
Lifebreath’s Defrost Technology: Keeping It Cool in the Harshest Winters
One of the most remarkable features of the LifeBreath RNC6-ES is its advanced defrost cycle technology. As Montreal experiences harsh winters, this feature is vital. The recirculating damper defrost system ensures that there is no frost buildup, which can be a common problem in cold climates. This means homeowners don't have to worry about their air exchanger freezing up, even when the temperature dips to extreme lows.
A Lifetime of Reliability and Peace of Mind
Beyond the technical aspects of this impressive product, the LifeBreath RNC6-ES also offers outstanding warranty coverage. AirGreen proudly offers a lifetime warranty on the core of the unit, along with a 5-year warranty on the motor and parts. This level of assurance provides our customers with peace of mind, knowing that their investment in home comfort is well protected for years to come.
