Air Exchanger VENMAR AVS® NOVOFIT 1.5 ES HRV 46121 Greater Montreal
What you should know about this one
Published, verifiable facts, not brochure claims.
WashableHeat recovery core washes in water
Once a year, the core comes out and soaks in cold or lukewarm soapy water, then is rinsed and left to dry. The filters are also washed in soapy water at each quarterly maintenance.
FurnaceTerminals to interlock the furnace blower
The terminal block can synchronize the furnace blower through a class 2 low-voltage circuit, with alternate wiring for thermostats tied to air conditioning. This interlock is mandatory in a return-to-return installation.
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.
LifetimeThe 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.
6 inWhat it needs on site
6 in ducts and a condensate drain. 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.
