FANTECH SHR Air Exchanger 2004 Greater Montreal
What it does, in numbers
$105.41
Electricity per year
Meets the Québec Construction Code for Greater Montréal. 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 59% at 117 cfm.
Airflow and efficiency: manufacturer's published data. Cost: 108 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.
1.2 inFor large homes and high-pressure duct systems
Fantech aims it at budget-conscious large homes with higher static pressure and airflow. Its sheet gives 218 cfm at 0.3 in and still 59 cfm at 1.2 in; it publishes no value at 0.2 or 0.4 in.
ContactsExternal screw-type dry contacts
The SHR 2004 has external screw-type dry contacts, plus a three-position rocker switch (low, standby, medium) that provides continuous ventilation without a wall control.
59%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 117 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.
108 WMeasured at the airflow it actually runs at
Its 62% at 0 °C is measured at 60 cfm, the continuous airflow of a typical home. At that setting it draws 108 W, or about 946 kWh a year.
LifetimeThe core warranty
The core does the work and is the most expensive part to replace. Motors: 7 years. Parts: 5 years. We register the warranty in your name at commissioning.
6 inWhat it needs on site
6 in ducts, side connection and a condensate drain. It weighs 61 lb, and it needs enough clearance to slide the core out once a year.
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.

Improve Your Air Quality with AirGreen
AirGreen, a leading HVAC company based in Montréal, specializes in the sale and installation of high-quality air exchangers. Our commitment to excellence ensures a superior customer experience, cutting-edge technology, and remarkable energy efficiency. Our flagship product, the Fantech SHR 2004 Heat Recovery Ventilator (HRV), is designed to provide optimal ventilation and exceptional energy savings.
Introduction to the Fantech SHR 2004 HRV
The Fantech SHR 2004 is a 200 CFM Heat Recovery Ventilator (HRV) designed with side ports and exhaust defrost capabilities. This 120-volt model is equipped with 4 ports of 6 inches in diameter. HRVs increase the efficiency of your heating and cooling systems by transferring heat between fresh and stale air during ventilation. Thanks to its compact size and wall bracket, the SHR 2004 is easy to install.
Energy Performance
The SHR 2004 helps maintain fresh and healthy indoor air while optimizing energy efficiency. During the winter months, the HRV captures heat from the outgoing air to preheat the incoming fresh air. This allows you to save on heating costs. In summer, the SHR 2004 pre-cools the incoming air by transferring its heat to the outgoing air, thereby optimizing the efficiency of your air conditioning system.
Features of the Fantech SHR 2004 HRV
The SHR 2004 features a number of outstanding features, designed to maximize performance and ease of use:
Heat Recovery Core
An aluminum heat recovery core provides improved heat transfer capacity while taking up less space than traditional cores.
Winter Guard
A built-in exhaust defrost system allows for consistent, reliable operation during the winter months.
Electronic Control Board
Microprocessor technology efficiently controls the operation of the unit, making it easy to connect HVAC equipment and wall controls.
Washable Electrostatic Filters
Electrostatic filters capture airborne particles traveling through the ventilator. Easily washable, these filters can be repeatedly reused before replacement.
