Broan-NuTone ERV V150E75NT Air Exchanger | Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, South Shore and North Shore
Is it the right size for your home?
It delivers 129 cfm net, enough to ventilate 1,500 to 2,400 sq ft. Choose your home's living area.
It's the right size.
For a 1,500 to 2,500 sq ft home, about 105 cfm of air needs to be renewed continuously. This unit delivers 129 cfm net — enough for the house, with extra capacity to boost ventilation for the bathroom and kitchen.
Calculation: 0.35 air changes per hour over the living volume, with 9 ft ceilings. Our estimator sets the exact airflow room by room, following CSA F326.
What it does, in numbers
$14.64
Electricity per year
Less than a 60 W light bulb
Bulbs left on day and night. Same calculation for every line: wattage × 8,760 h × 11.142 ¢/kWh.
Meets the Québec Construction Code everywhere in the province. The Code requires 54% at −25 °C below 6,000 degree-days (Montréal, Laval, Longueuil and both shores) and 60% above that. This unit is rated at 60% at 66 cfm.
Airflow and efficiency at 0 °C and −25 °C: HVI directory, Section III. Cost: 15 W over 8,760 h at Hydro-Québec's Rate D second tier (11.142 ¢/kWh).
What you should know about this one
Published, verifiable facts, not brochure claims.
6 in6-in ducts advised above 130 cfm
The ports are 5 in, but for this model the maker recommends 6-in ducts whenever the required airflow exceeds 130 cfm, to avoid excessive static pressure. 5-to-6-in transitions fit on the ports.
TandemA single wall opening with the Tandem transition
Compatible with Tandem terminations (VTYIK1 and V14695), which replace the two exterior hoods. The maker allows them up to 160 cfm at 0.4 in w.g. (this model: 129 cfm); a 9-3/4 in joist opening is needed and some extra static pressure must be expected.
60%What it still recovers at −25 °C
The only efficiency figure that matters for a Québec winter, and the one the Code uses. An efficiency quoted without its temperature means nothing; this one is measured at a test airflow of 66 cfm.
ExhaustIt defrosts by pausing the fresh air for a few minutes
In cold weather, the supply fan stops for a few minutes while the exhaust keeps running, so warm indoor air thaws the core. During the cycle the house is briefly under negative pressure; if you have a fireplace or a naturally vented combustion appliance, mention it to our estimator.
ERVIt moves moisture too, not just heat
An ERV transfers some moisture between the two airstreams. Useful in a house that gets too dry in winter or takes on a lot of humidity in summer. The trade-off: it generally recovers less heat than a comparable HRV.
2005444Its HVI certification number
Listed in Section III of the Home Ventilating Institute's certified products directory. Anyone can check it, and it's the first condition for the Rénoclimat grant.
−9 cfmWhat the ducts cost it
Between a nearly unrestricted test bench (0.2 in) and a real duct system (0.4 in), it drops from 138 to 129 cfm. Most spec sheets show only the first number, precisely because it looks better.
15 WMeasured at the airflow it actually runs at
Its 82% at 0 °C is certified at 36 cfm, the continuous airflow of a typical home. At that setting it draws 15 W, or about 131 kWh a year.
5 yearsThe core warranty
The core does the work and is the most expensive part to replace. Motors and parts: 5 years. We register the warranty in your name at commissioning.
5 inWhat it needs on site
5 in ducts, top connection. It weighs 37 lb, and it needs enough clearance to slide the core out once a year.
Rénoclimat: $500 to install or replace an HRV or ERV
First condition met: HVI Section III certified, No. 2005444. Second: your EnerGuide rating must improve between the two evaluations. Québec warns that an air exchanger installed on its own can increase a home's energy use; that's why we balance it to the calculated airflow rather than running it at full speed.
What it needs on site
In a condo with no floor drain, or with little ceiling clearance, we usually look at a side-port model instead. Our estimator checks the location, the drain and the duct route before ordering.

AirGreen Presents: The BROAN-NUTONE V150E75NT — A Compact, Intelligent, and Efficient VRE for Superior Air Quality
At AirGreen, we know that an efficient air exchanger is essential to ensure a healthy, comfortable, and well-ventilated indoor environment. At Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, on the North Shore and South Shore, modern homes are increasingly airtight, making mechanical ventilation even more important to remove moisture, odors, and stale air.
That’s why we are proud to highlight the BROAN-NUTONE V150E75NT, a VRE-type air exchanger VRE series designed to provide reliable, intelligent, and efficient ventilation every day.
The BROAN-NUTONE V150E75NT is not just a residential ventilation device. It is part of the Broan-NuTone AI, a range designed to facilitate installation, improve air balancing accuracy, and offer consistent air quality in the home. With a capacity of 138 CFM at 0.4”, a maximal sensible recovery efficiency of 82% and a vertical connection, this model represents an ideal solution for many types of residential projects.
Why the BROAN-NUTONE V150E75NT Stands Out
The V150E75NT is designed to provide efficient ventilation while simplifying installation and adjustment work. Thanks to its modern design and integrated technologies, it delivers a more stable, precise airflow better suited to the actual needs of the property.
• VIRTUO™ technology with auto-balancing : The system facilitates airflow calibration and automatically maintains precise balancing. This allows for balanced ventilation, without relying solely on complex manual adjustments.
• Ventilation capacity of 138 CFM : With a flow rate of 138.0 CFM at 0.4”, this model is perfectly suited for homes that require effective ventilation without being too bulky or oversized.
• VRE-type air exchanger : The VRE allows for indoor air renewal while helping to recover some of the energy contained in the exhausted air. This operation helps maintain better indoor comfort, both in winter and summer.
• Maximum sensible heat recovery efficiency of 82% : This performance allows the system to recover a significant portion of the sensible heat from the outgoing air, helping to improve the overall efficiency of the ventilation.
• Defrost cycle by ventilation : The system uses an adapted defrost cycle to protect the exchanger against frost buildup, an important feature in the Quebec climate.
• Efficient PMSM ECM motors : Low-consumption motors contribute to more efficient, stable operation better suited for continuous residential use.
• MERV 8 Filtration : The filter MERV 8 helps to retain some of the particles present in the air, thus contributing to better indoor air quality.
