- Check the outdoor hoods: nests, debris, dampers.
- Lower the speed if the outdoor air gets humid.
- Adjust the speed to the humidity in the house.
- Check that the drain flows.

- Check the exhaust damper.
- Book a full cleaning if the unit has not had one in a long time.
- Clear snow from both outdoor hoods.
- Raise the speed if condensation appears on windows.
- Let the unit run: with the house closed, humidity builds up.
Is your home ready?
Check what applies at your place. A "no" is not a refusal: it is what we sort out during the estimate.
Four statements: true or false?
It all comes down to details you have just seen.
1. In an air exchanger, fresh air and stale air mix.
The two airflows cross in the core without mixing.
2. The two outdoor hoods must be kept apart.
Otherwise the exchanger pulls back the air it just removed.
3. An air exchanger can help with condensation on windows.
It renews the air and helps keep humidity in the right range.
4. An exchanger never needs maintenance.
Filters and core get dirty and need regular cleaning.
