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
$17.57
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 63% at 64 cfm.
Airflow and efficiency at 0 °C and −25 °C: HVI directory, Section III. Cost: 18 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 inMove to 6-in ducts above 130 cfm
This HRV has 5-in ports, but the maker advises 6-in ducts when the required airflow exceeds 130 cfm; 5-to-6-in transitions are then taped onto the ports. This keeps static pressure in check.
HEPAHEPA filtration possible in place of MERV 8
Besides the original washable MERV 8 filter, the sheet lists a disposable MERV 13 filter (V24285) or a HEPA-type media filter (V25000). Either one takes the place of the MERV 8 filter and fits over the core.
63%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.
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.
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.
2505430Its 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.
−10 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 150 to 140 cfm. Most spec sheets show only the first number, precisely because it looks better.
18 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 18 W, or about 158 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. 2505430. 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.

Broan-NuTone V150H75NT HRV – Residential Air Exchanger 150 CFM with Vertical Connection
At AirGreen, we know that a good ventilation system plays an essential role in home comfort. A well-chosen air exchanger not only renews indoor air but also reduces the buildup of humidity, odors, and stale air. For residences in Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, the North Shore, and the South Shore, the Broan-NuTone V150H75NT represents a reliable, compact, and efficient solution to improve indoor air quality.
The V150H75NT is a HRV — heat recovery ventilator — designed to provide constant ventilation while recovering some of the heat contained in the exhausted air. Thanks to its airflow of 150 CFM at 0.4”, its vertical connection and maximum sensible recovery efficiency of 82,0 %, this model is an excellent choice for many types of residential homes.
A ventilation solution designed for Quebec homes
In Quebec, houses are often well insulated to retain heat during winter. While this improves energy efficiency, it can also reduce natural air renewal. The result: humidity, odors, particles, and stale air can accumulate indoors.
The Broan-NuTone V150H75NT HRV helps solve this problem by exhausting contaminated indoor air and bringing in fresh outdoor air. At the same time, it recovers some of the heat from the outgoing air, helping to reduce energy loss during the cold season.
Why choose the Broan-NuTone V150H75NT?
The Broan-NuTone V150H75NT is not just a standard air exchanger. It is a device designed to offer good performance, practical installation, and reliable daily operation.

A sensible recovery efficiency of 82.0%
One of the strengths of the Broan-NuTone V150H75NT is its max sensible recovery efficiency of 82.0%. This data is important because it indicates the device’s ability to recover heat from the exhausted air before releasing it outside.
In winter, this allows fresh air to enter while reducing heat loss. The result is a better-ventilated, more comfortable, and energy-efficient home.
A 150 CFM airflow for effective ventilation
With a flow rate of 150.0 PCM / CFM at 0.4”, the V150H75NT is designed to meet the ventilation needs of many residential homes. This airflow level ensures adequate air renewal when the device is properly sized and installed.
Important point: the choice of an air exchanger should never be based solely on maximum airflow. You must also consider the size of the house, number of occupants, insulation level, indoor humidity, duct configuration, and actual room usage. That’s why the expertise of a qualified installer like AirGreen is essential.
A convenient vertical connection
The vertical connection of the Broan-NuTone V150H75NT makes it easy to install in various mechanical configurations. In some homes, this type of connection simplifies duct routing and optimizes available space.
At AirGreen, we always pay close attention to installation quality. A ventilation device must be installed cleanly, accessibly, and logically to facilitate future maintenance and ensure optimal performance.
A compact size for residential mechanical spaces
With its dimensions of 21.00 × 16.30 × 21.50 in, the V150H75NT offers a convenient size for various types of residential installations. It can be installed in a basement, mechanical room, or technical space, depending on the property's layout.
Even though the device is compact, it is important to allow enough space around the unit for access to filters, internal components, and ducts. A well-planned installation makes maintenance easier and extends the system's lifespan.
Defrost cycle by ventilation
The defrost cycle by ventilation is an important feature in a cold climate like Quebec’s. When outdoor temperatures drop, an air exchanger must be able to manage frost risks to maintain proper operation.
The defrost cycle helps protect the unit and ensures more stable performance during cold periods. For homeowners in Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, the North Shore, and the South Shore, this is an essential feature to consider when choosing an HRV.
