HRV200PLUS INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

G. VENT AND DUCT INSTALLATION

WARNING! - CONNECTING APPLIANCES TO THE HRV200PLUS

Do not connect any of the following appliances to the HRV200PLUS because lint, dust and/or grease will collect in the HRV, damaging the ventilator:

clothes dryer

• gas furnace

• gas water heater

range top

B-vented gas fireplace

direct vent gas fireplace

stove top fan

solid fuel fireplace or heater

central vacuum system

Connecting any of these appliances to the HRV200PLUS will void the warranty.

The HRV200PLUS (HRV) not only serves as the fresh air ventilator for the home, but is also the power venting device for the Fresh Air Fireplace (FAF). The conduits from the FAF to the HRV and from the HRV to the exhaust termination remove both stale air from the home and the products of combustion from the FAF. Thus the exhaust air conduit acts as the chimney for your fireplace!

The HRV200PLUS requires four standard and one optional vent/duct connections:

Standard

1.Fresh Air Supply - Fresh air from the Fresh Air Inlet to the HRV.

2.Warmside Air Supply - Heated fresh air from the HRV into the living area.

3.Fresh Air Fireplace Exhaust - Stale air/combustion products from the FAF to the HRV.

4.HRV Exhaust - Stale air/combustion products from the HRV to the Flue Exhaust.

Optional - Alternate Exhaust Damper Assembly

Alternate Exhaust - Stale air from the living area to the HRV.

Note: Each of these connections has specific requirements for safe system operation, comfort and optimum efficiency. Always try to mini- mize duct run length and follow the manufacturer’s installation in- structions. Always follow specific code requirements.

1. Fresh Air From the Outdoor Intake to the HRV (Fresh Air Supply)

Duct Materials: Fresh Air Inlet - 6” Outside Weatherhood (Part #HRV99189)

HRV200PLUS specifications

The Hearth and Home Technologies HRV200PLUS is an advanced heat recovery ventilator (HRV) designed to provide optimal indoor air quality while ensuring energy efficiency. As homes become increasingly airtight due to modern construction techniques, the importance of proper ventilation grows. The HRV200PLUS addresses this need by continuously exchanging stale indoor air with fresh outdoor air, effectively maintaining a healthy living environment.

One of the standout features of the HRV200PLUS is its innovative heat recovery technology. This system captures the heat from the outgoing air and transfers it to the incoming fresh air. As a result, the air being brought into the home is pre-warmed, reducing the demand on heating systems during the colder months. This energy-efficient method helps homeowners save on heating costs while maintaining comfort levels inside the home.

Another notable characteristic of the HRV200PLUS is its quiet operation. Equipped with high-performance, low-noise fans, this unit operates in silence, ensuring that occupants can enjoy a peaceful environment without the disruptive sounds often associated with ventilation systems. Additionally, the HRV200PLUS provides versatile installation options, allowing it to be easily integrated into both new and existing homes.

The unit features adjustable settings that allow users to customize airflow according to their specific needs. With multiple fan speeds, homeowners can choose the most suitable option for their daily activities, ensuring an ideal balance between indoor air quality and energy use. Furthermore, the HRV200PLUS includes a built-in filter system that captures dust, allergens, and other airborne particles, enhancing overall air quality.

Durability and ease of maintenance are also keys in the design of the HRV200PLUS. Constructed with high-quality materials, this unit is made to last, reducing the need for frequent replacements. The filters are easily accessible, making periodic maintenance straightforward, which further extends the product's lifespan.

In summary, the Hearth and Home Technologies HRV200PLUS stands out as a premium choice for homeowners seeking a reliable and efficient ventilation solution. Its combination of heat recovery technology, quiet operation, customizable settings, and easy maintenance make it an ideal option for improving indoor air quality while keeping energy costs in check.
