Broan-NuTone · Updated October 14, 2026
Broan-NuTone is the manufacturer behind three badges: the same AI Series machine is sold as Broan, vänEE or Venmar. The AI Series is sold in Canada (its US equivalents carry a B), and 11 of our Broan models are on the Novoclimat list of July 13, 2026.
One machine, three badges
The Novoclimat list registers each badge separately. Here is where the same model number appears under Broan, vänEE and Venmar.
Broan V160H75RS · HRV · 150 cfm · ports side, 6 in
Source: Novoclimat list of eligible HRVs, quebec.ca, updated July 13, 2026.
01 · Three families
At AirGreen, our Broan-NuTone exchangers fall into three families: the AI Series (HRVs and ERVs with top or side ports), then Broan ONE and Broan EDGE, two families of side-port ERVs.
AI Series (V prefix) · 17 current models
HRVs and ERVs sold in Canada (US equivalents carry a B). Top ports (T) or side ports (S).
Broan ONE (BLP150) · 3 versions
A 146 cfm net ERV with 6 in side ports and no condensate drain. Three versions: hardwired, power cord, or hardwired and built into a ceiling or wall cavity (“Interior Ready”).
Broan EDGE (BLP120 / BLP130) · 3 versions
Compact ERVs that Broan-NuTone tags “New” on its site. 4 in (BLP120) or 5 in (BLP130) side ports, no drain.
02 · Find my model
For a new Novoclimat home, the HRV (and its control) must be on the program lists, and some models are eligible only under 6,000 degree-days. For a replacement, all our current models remain possible: efficiency at -25 °C then makes the difference.
23 models
Net airflow at 0.4 in w.c. and efficiency at -25 °C (with its test airflow) from our product sheets (HVI directory or manufacturer sheet). V180E75RT, ERVS100S-PC and HV15 are not offered here.
03 · HRV or ERV
In an AI Series model number, the letter after the number tells you: H for an HRV, E for an ERV. Broan ONE and Broan EDGE are ERVs.
| HRV (H) | ERV (E, ONE, EDGE) | |
|---|---|---|
| What the core transfers | Heat | Heat and part of the moisture |
| Condensate drain | Yes (fitting supplied, AI Series) | No, per the sheets |
| Core warranty | 10 years (AI Series) | 5 years |
| Novoclimat list (Broan badge) | 8 of our HRVs | 3 of our ERVs: V160E75RT, V210E75RT, V210E75RS |
| Our models | 11 | 14 |

04 · At -25 °C
The 2012 text of the Québec Construction Code (art. 9.32.3.3. 2) b)), still allowed for work started before October 17, 2027, required a new home’s HVI-certified HRV to reach at least 54 % at -25 °C under 6,000 degree-days and 60 % elsewhere. The two dashed lines mark those thresholds.
Sensible recovery efficiency at -25 °C and test airflow (cfm) from our product sheets, taken from the HVI directory or the manufacturer sheet. The Code threshold applies to new homes. * BLP150: sheet value, not HVI-certified.
05 · Hardwired or cord
For Broan ONE and Broan EDGE, Broan-NuTone sells the same unit in several connection versions. The final letters tell you which.
-PC
Plugged into an outlet near the unit, per the installation guide.
-HWF
Hardwired Broan ONE version housed in a ceiling or wall cavity, with a prefinished white access door. Broan-NuTone does not publish what the F stands for.

07 · 2026 rebates
Checked on October 14, 2026 on each program’s own site, unless stated otherwise.
Rénoclimat
Air exchangers have not been eligible since October 1, 2026. Transition: pre-work evaluation request by October 12, 2026 at the latest, post-work evaluation by March 31, 2027.
Novoclimat
Ventilation is installed by a Novoclimat-certified specialist, with an HRV from the program list; its wall control must also be on the lists. The financial aid targets the certified home, not the exchanger itself.
LogisVert
The residential stream (guide v1.10, Sept. 15, 2026) does not cover air exchangers. In new construction, the exchanger is a mandatory component of the House options, with no amount of its own.
ENERGY STAR
Natural Resources Canada’s list could not be checked model by model, so this page claims no ENERGY STAR certification.
Federal
The Canada Greener Homes Grant is closed, and the federal affordability program, offered in Québec through Hydro-Québec, does not list ventilation among its measures.
HVI
Our product sheets show the HVI number when there is one. The BLP150 (Broan ONE) shows a -25 °C value that its sheet says is not HVI-certified.

The manufacturer is the same: Broan-NuTone, whose Canadian entity is Venmar Ventilation ULC in Drummondville. AI Series models carry the same number under several badges. The Novoclimat list registers each badge separately.
Broan-NuTone publishes no official key. Its documents let you read H (HRV) or E (ERV), T (top ports) or S (side ports), and N for models without recirculation mode. The digits are neither the measured efficiency nor the airflow.
Not since October 1, 2026. Only files already evaluated before work under the old rules can still be processed, with a post-work evaluation by March 31, 2027.
Not for an existing home. In new construction, the exchanger is a mandatory component of the House options, with no amount of its own.
Under the Broan badge, the July 13, 2026 list includes 11 of our models. Eight are eligible everywhere: V130H80RT, V160H75RS, V160H80RT, V180H75RT, V210E75RS, V210E75RT, V230H75RS, V230H75RT. The others only under 6,000 degree-days.
According to Broan-NuTone’s sheets, AI Series, Broan ONE and Broan EDGE ERVs need no condensate drain. AI Series HRVs come with their drain fitting.
HW is permanently hardwired; PC plugs into an outlet near the unit. The choice depends on the location and the power available; your estimator confirms it on site.
AI Series: HRV core 10 years, ERV core 5 years, parts 5 years if the core is maintained, labour and shipping excluded, per the installation guides. Broan ONE and EDGE: 5 years, labour and shipping excluded. HV15: 2 years parts and labour, at the shop (sheet 90968).
The AI Series guides do not make it a warranty condition. Keep the original invoice: the manufacturer asks for it with any claim.
Natural Resources Canada’s list could not be checked model by model. We do not show a certification we cannot prove.
Broan-NuTone marks them as discontinued on its Canadian site (Oct. 14, 2026). They are still in our catalogue; your estimator checks availability.
A washable MERV 8 filter as standard, with MERV 13 and, depending on the model, HEPA options, per the spec sheets.
Price on quotation: it depends on the model, the ducts and the location. The on-site estimate is free.
