Broan-NuTone V160H80RT – HRV Air Exchanger 159 CFM with vertical connection

At AirGreen, we know that a well-chosen air exchanger can transform the comfort of a home. Effective ventilation renews indoor air, reduces excess humidity, removes odors, limits stagnant air, and contributes to a healthier daily environment. That’s why we highlight the Broan-NuTone V160H80RT, a efficient, compact HRV air exchanger well suited for Quebec homes.

With a capacity of 159 CFM at 0.4”, a maximal sensible recovery efficiency of 82%, a vertical connection and a defrost cycle by recirculation, the Broan-NuTone V160H80RT is an interesting solution for homeowners looking for reliable, efficient ventilation well integrated into their residential HVAC system.

An HRV designed to renew air efficiently

The Broan-NuTone V160H80RT is a type of air exchanger HRV, that is to say a heat recovery ventilator. Its role is to extract stale air from the house while introducing fresh air from outside. Thanks to its heat recovery core, it recovers part of the energy contained in the outgoing air to reduce energy losses related to ventilation.

In a modern home, often well insulated and more airtight, indoor air can become heavy, humid, or filled with particles. The V160H80RT helps maintain better air circulation, which improves the overall comfort of the residence.

For homeowners located in Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, on the North Shore or the South Shore, this model represents a reliable option to improve indoor air quality while maintaining an efficient and sustainable approach.

Why choose the Broan-NuTone V160H80RT?

The Broan-NuTone V160H80RT stands out with an interesting combination of performance, efficiency, and ease of integration.

Airflow of 159 CFM: with a capacity of 159 CFM at 0.4”, this model is very suitable for homes that require constant and well-controlled air renewal.

Maximum sensible recovery efficiency of 82%: this performance allows recovering a significant portion of the heat from the expelled air, which helps limit energy losses.

Vertical connection: the connection vertical facilitates installation in certain mechanical configurations, especially when ducts need to be directed upwards or when the available space is better suited for a vertical outlet.

Defrost cycle by recirculation: defrost by recirculation recirculation is an important advantage in Quebec’s climate. It allows the unit to better manage cold periods and maintain stable operation in winter.

Compact size: with dimensions of 21.00 × 16.30 × 21.50 in, the V160H80RT is relatively compact, which facilitates its integration into many types of residential mechanical spaces.

Standard voltage of 115 V: its power supply at 115 V simplifies electrical integration in many residential installations.

A solution adapted to Quebec’s climate

In Quebec, residential ventilation must meet very varied conditions. In winter, outdoor air is cold and dry. In summer, humidity can become significant. Between these, the transitional seasons often bring rapid temperature changes.

The Broan-NuTone V160H80RT is designed to help maintain a more stable indoor environment. Its heat recovery system renews the air without simply exhausting the energy already used to heat the home. Its recirculation defrost also contributes to more reliable operation during cold periods.

It is a relevant choice for well-insulated homes, residential renovations, and projects where indoor air quality becomes a priority.

VIRTUO technology for better balanced ventilation

The Broan-NuTone V160H80RT is part of a generation of air exchangers designed to simplify installation and improve system performance. The technology VIRTUO allows for more precise airflow calibration and automatic balancing, helping the unit maintain stable ventilation over time.

Proper balancing is essential for an air exchanger. If the system extracts too much air or does not supply enough, comfort and efficiency can be affected. With advanced balancing technology, the V160H80RT helps achieve more consistent ventilation better suited to the actual needs of the home.

Filtration and indoor air quality

A good air exchanger is not limited to air renewal. Filtration also plays an important role in daily comfort. The Broan-NuTone V160H80RT is designed to provide stable ventilation while helping to limit the circulation of certain particles in the system.

Regular filter maintenance is essential to maintain airflow and preserve the device’s performance. Clean filters allow the system to operate more efficiently while contributing to better indoor air quality.

For homeowners sensitive to dust, odors, or stagnant air, a well-maintained air exchanger can make a significant difference.

Professional installation by AirGreen

Choosing an air exchanger is important, but its installation is even more so. A high-performance device can lose some of its efficiency if it is poorly connected, unbalanced, or installed in an unsuitable space.

At AirGreen, we place great importance on installation quality. Our teams assess the available space, duct configuration, connection type, ventilation needs, and technical constraints specific to each home.

We serve Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, the North Shore, and the South Shore, with a professional, clear approach tailored to homeowners' needs. Our goal is simple: to install a system that works well, lasts long, and truly improves indoor comfort.

A good choice for well-insulated homes

Modern houses are often better insulated and more airtight than older buildings. This improves energy efficiency but also reduces natural air exchange. The result: indoor air can become more humid, more stagnant, and less comfortable.

The Broan-NuTone V160H80RT helps correct this situation by ensuring controlled air renewal. Thanks to its capacity of 159 CFM, it can effectively meet the needs of several types of residences.

This is a particularly interesting solution for homeowners who want to improve their air quality without unnecessarily compromising their home’s energy efficiency.

Maintenance and durability

Like any ventilation system, the Broan-NuTone V160H80RT must be regularly maintained to preserve its performance. It is recommended to check filters, clean accessible components, inspect air vents, and ensure ducts are not blocked.

Preventive maintenance helps extend the device’s lifespan, maintain good airflow, and ensure better overall efficiency. At AirGreen, we support our clients with maintenance, inspection, and optimization of their ventilation system.
