HRV INSTALLATION
LOCATION
The HRV must be located in a conditioned space where it will be possible to conveniently service the unit. Typically
the HRV would be located in the mechanical room or an area close to the outside wall where the weatherhoods will
be mounted. If a basement area is not convenient or does not exist, a utility room may be used.
Attic installations are not normally recommended due to:
• The complexity of the installation
• Freezing conditions in the attic
• Difficulty of access for service and cleaning
• No drain access
Connecting appliances to the HRV is not recommended. These include:
• Clothes dryer
• Range top
• Stovetop fan
• Central vacuum system
• Bathroom exhaust fans unless they are specifically designed for this purpose
These appliances may cause lint, dust or grease to collect in the HRV, damaging the unit.
