What it does, in numbers
$25.38
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 64 cfm.
Airflow and efficiency at 0 °C and −25 °C: HVI directory, Section III. Cost: 26 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.
90 W90 W maximum, the lowest in the series
The sheet lists 120 V, 2.4 A and 90 W maximum, versus 110 W for the 130 cfm models and 163 W for the 150 and 160 cfm models of the same series. In return, its airflow tops out at 112 cfm at 0.2 in w.g.
HEPAOptional MERV 13 or HEPA filter
The washable MERV 8 filter supplied can be swapped for a MERV 13 filter (V24285) or a HEPA-type media filter (V25000), both installed the same way, for finer filtration.
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 64 cfm.
DamperIt defrosts without depressurizing the house
In cold weather, a motorized damper closes the outdoor air intake and recirculates indoor air through the core to thaw it. The house doesn't go into negative pressure during the cycle: no cold air drawn in through leaks, and none of the imbalance manufacturers warn about when there's a fireplace or a combustion appliance.
HRVIt recovers heat, not moisture
Excess moisture leaves the house. In Québec, that's the right choice in most cases: in winter, the problem is almost always too much humidity, not too little.
2505439Its 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.
−12 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 112 to 100 cfm. Most spec sheets show only the first number, precisely because it looks better.
26 WMeasured at the airflow it actually runs at
Its 68% at 0 °C is certified at 64 cfm, the continuous airflow of a typical home. At that setting it draws 26 W, or about 228 kWh a year.
10 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 and a condensate drain. It weighs 35 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. 2505439. 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 V110H65RT – A Compact, Reliable HRV Designed for Residential Fresh Air
At AirGreen Air Conditioning & Heating, we know that a good HVAC system is not limited to heating and air conditioning. In a modern, well-insulated house designed to limit energy loss, the indoor air quality becomes an essential element of daily comfort. This is exactly where a HRV — heat recovery ventilator — takes on full importance.
Today, we highlight the Broan-NuTone V110H65RT, an air exchanger of the HRV designed to offer effective ventilation, heat recovery adapted to residential needs, and practical installation thanks to its vertical connection. With a capacity of 112 PCM / CFM at 0.4”, a maximum sensible recovery efficiency of 68 %, an operation in 115 V and a defrost cycle by recirculation, this model represents an interesting solution for many homes in Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, on the North Shore, and the South Shore.
Why choose the Broan-NuTone V110H65RT?
The V110H65RT is not just a ventilation device. It is a system designed to renew indoor air while limiting heat loss, a particularly important advantage in the Quebec climate. During winter, opening windows to let in fresh air is neither comfortable nor efficient. A HRV instead allows stale air to be expelled from the house while recovering some of the heat before bringing in fresh air.
This model stands out for its compact size, performance suited for small to medium-sized homes, and vertical connection that facilitates integration into certain mechanical spaces. For homeowners seeking a simple, reliable, and functional solution, the Broan-NuTone V110H65RT offers a balanced approach between performance, installation, and indoor comfort.
A ventilation capacity of 112 PCM / CFM
With a capacity of 112 PCM / CFM at 0.4”, the Broan-NuTone V110H65RT is designed to ensure constant air renewal in residential spaces. This airflow helps remove air laden with humidity, odors, fine dust, and indoor contaminants while introducing fresh air from outside.
In a well-insulated house, the air can quickly become stagnant. Daily activities like cooking, showering, washing, having pets, and even breathing increase humidity levels and can affect air quality. A properly sized air exchanger helps reduce these issues by maintaining healthier and more stable air circulation.
An HRV suited to Quebec’s climate
The V110H65RT is a HRV, that is to say a heat recovery ventilator. Unlike an ERV, which also recovers some humidity, the HRV focuses mainly on heat recovery. This type of device is particularly relevant in cold climates, where the main goal is to conserve as much heat as possible already produced by the heating system.
With a maximum sensible recovery efficiency of 68%, the Broan-NuTone V110H65RT helps limit energy losses during air renewal. This means that part of the heat from the exhausted air is transferred to the incoming fresh air, improving indoor comfort while reducing the impact of air renewal on home heating.
Recirculation defrosting: an important feature in winter
One of the important elements of this model is its defrost cycle by recirculation. In winter conditions, especially when temperatures drop below zero, an air exchanger can accumulate frost inside its core. Recirculation defrosting helps protect the device and maintain its operation.
This type of defrosting allows the device to handle cold periods without unnecessarily compromising its efficiency. For homes located in Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, on the South Shore or North Shore, this feature is particularly relevant, as Quebec winters impose demanding conditions on ventilation systems.
Vertical connection for convenient installation
The Broan-NuTone V110H65RT is designed with a vertical connection, also called top ports. This configuration can facilitate installation in certain mechanical rooms, basements, technical spaces, or places where ducts need to be directed upward.
At AirGreen, we place great importance on installation quality. A high-performance air exchanger must not only be well chosen but also properly installed, connected, balanced, and integrated into the existing ventilation system. The V110H65RT’s size, with its dimensions of 21.00 × 16.30 × 21.50 inches, can be an advantage in several residential configurations where available space is limited.
A simple 115 V power supply
The V110H65RT operates with a power supply of 115 V, making it a device compatible with a standard residential electrical setup. This feature facilitates its integration into many replacement or new installation projects, depending on the building configuration.
Of course, before any installation, the AirGreen team checks the on-site conditions: available space, duct access, outdoor exhaust, electrical supply, clearances, building type, and actual ventilation needs. This step is essential to ensure a reliable, durable result that meets the client's expectations.
The tangible benefits for your home
An air exchanger like the Broan-NuTone V110H65RT can improve indoor comfort in many ways. It helps reduce stagnant air, better control excessive humidity, remove persistent odors, and promote a more pleasant indoor environment.
In very airtight homes, indoor air can contain more pollutants than outdoor air. Household products, dust, humidity, cooking odors, and volatile compounds can accumulate over time. A well-designed ventilation system helps renew the air in a controlled way, without relying solely on opening windows.
Better humidity management
Excessive humidity can cause several problems: window condensation, musty odors, discomfort, potential mold, and deterioration of certain materials. By exhausting humid air from rooms like the bathroom, kitchen, or laundry, the HRV helps maintain better indoor balance.
More consistent comfort in winter
By recovering some of the heat from the outgoing air, the V110H65RT allows fresh air to be introduced without abruptly cooling the house. This helps maintain a more stable indoor temperature and a more natural comfort, especially during the cold months.
A discreet and efficient solution
Thanks to its compact size and vertical connection, this model can be discreetly installed in various mechanical spaces. Once properly installed and balanced, it works in the background to improve air quality without requiring constant attention from the owner.
AirGreen expertise for installing your air exchanger
Choosing the right model is an important step, but installation is just as crucial. A poorly installed, unbalanced, or improperly connected HRV can lose much of its efficiency. At AirGreen, we carefully analyze each project to propose a solution tailored to the home, the existing network, and the client's needs.
Our technicians consider several factors: the required airflow, duct lengths, device location, maintenance access, outdoor vents, areas to ventilate, humidity levels, and the overall building layout. This approach ensures a cleaner, more efficient, and longer-lasting installation.
We serve residential and commercial clients in Greater Montreal, including Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, the South Shore, and the North Shore. Our goal is always the same: to provide professional, transparent service focused on the client’s real comfort.
