GreenTek PREMIER PRS 2.0H Air Exchanger Greater Montreal
Is it the right size for your home?
It delivers 189 cfm net, enough to ventilate 2,300 to 3,600 sq ft. Choose your home's living area.
It's the right size.
For a 2,500 to 3,200 sq ft home, about 150 cfm of air needs to be renewed continuously. This unit delivers 189 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
$48.80
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: 50 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.
DamperHarness included for an external motorized damper
If fresh air is ducted to a furnace return and the occupant can switch the unit off, Greentek recommends a motorized damper that closes when it stops. It plugs into the electrical box's auxiliary connector with the supplied harness (damper motor not included).
22 inLeave 22 in in front of the unit to pull the core
Its 12 × 12 in core is 15 in deep, versus 10 in for the PRS 1.5H and 1.5E. It slides out on guides; Greentek recommends 22 in of clearance in front of the unit to remove it.
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.
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.
2505388Its 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.
−44 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 233 to 189 cfm. Most spec sheets show only the first number, precisely because it looks better.
50 WMeasured at the airflow it actually runs at
Its 75% at 0 °C is certified at 66 cfm, the continuous airflow of a typical home. At that setting it draws 50 W, or about 438 kWh a year.
5 yearsThe 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 51 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. 2505388. 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.

- Integrated air balancing taps: Facilitates air balancing for optimal efficiency.
- Multi-speed operation: Allows you to adjust the fan speed according to your home's needs.
- Automatic defrost: Activates when the outdoor air temperature drops to 23F (-5C) or less, maximizing efficiency during the coldest months.
- External electrical box: Facilitates access for maintenance and troubleshooting.
- Lightweight: Facilitates installation and reduces the load on support structures.
The unit is designed for high static pressure applications that require high efficiency. It is equipped with an automatic defrost mechanism that activates when the outdoor air temperature drops to 23F (-5C) or less. During the defrost cycle, the supply air fan shuts down while the exhaust air fan switches to high speed to maximize efficiency.
The Premier PRS 2.0H features an efficient crossflow heat exchanger with an SRE of up to 75%, standard MERV3 filters, a suspension chain kit, easy-to-use connection ports, integrated air balancing taps and duct ports with plastic collar shrouds for simple and quick installation. The appliance comes with a limited warranty (lifetime warranty on the exchanger, 7 years on motors and 5 years on parts).
It has been tested in accordance with the Home Ventilation Institute (HVI) Certification Program to ensure it meets HVI standards for airflow and energy. It is listed ENERGY STAR®.
