Sizing

These are the two most common methods used to evaluate the ventilation needs of a house:

CSA F326 and Canadian Building Code:

• High speed:

10 cfm per room

 

20 cfm for the master bedroom and the basement

• Low speed: 40-60% of high speed

ASHRAE Standard 62-2001:

• 0.35 air change per hour

Refer to ventilation code of your area to determine which method to use.

The Maytag HRV-210, ERV-210, HRV-150, and ERV-150 are advanced heat recovery and energy recovery ventilators designed to enhance indoor air quality while promoting energy efficiency in residential settings. Each model comes packed with features tailored to balance ventilation and energy conservation, making them suitable for a variety of home environments.

The HRV-210 and HRV-150 are heat recovery ventilators that excel in transferring heat from outgoing stale air to incoming fresh air. This process effectively maintains comfortable indoor temperatures, recovering up to 70% of the heat energy, which can lead to significant energy savings during colder months. Both models boast an airflow capacity of up to 210 CFM and 150 CFM, respectively, ensuring effective ventilation for medium to large-sized homes.

On the other hand, the ERV-210 and ERV-150 embody energy recovery technology that captures not only heat but also moisture content from the air. This is particularly beneficial in humid climates where maintaining humidity levels is crucial for comfort and health. With similar airflow capacities as the HRV models, these ERVs help regulate humidity levels, preventing the growth of mold and improving indoor air quality.

All four models are equipped with energy-efficient motors designed for quiet operation, ensuring that users experience minimal noise disruption while enjoying fresh air. The inclusion of user-friendly controls and adjustable settings allows homeowners to customize their ventilation strategy according to seasonal changes or personal preferences.

Another important characteristic of the Maytag ventilators is their durable build and ease of installation.
