HRV revisit
 

So i am looking to buy this unit

Lifebreath Heat Recovery Ventilation (HRV) RNC10 (123 - 177 CFM)

but unsure if this will help with my current 165 gallon tank in my house. My humidity level is 50% right now


Should i get a bigger unit? Anyone has this brand LifeBreath and do you like it?

don't you select the units based on the size of your house?

yeah i give them my house size and that is what they recommended it. I am not sure if i should go higher because of the fish tank

It wouldn't hurt to bump it a little for good measure, bigger is always better :biggrin:

Have to disagree with bigger is always better, bigger usually costs more.
A bigger HRV will cost more and use more energy, kinda the opposite of there main purpose. If you want more air changes per hour open a window.

The higher the airflow the shorter running time as it would only kick in according to how you have it set up.

have not heard this brand, I am usinga 200 CFM one I think, the largest from York that is still small enough to classified as residential. Loved it last winter but cost a bit, I think I paid $2000 how much is yours?

Well around 2K as well. Also passive or power?

No clue, but two settings, either run continuous or inter-mittenly

But around this time, it stop being very useful as outside temp is around 13-20C here in Toronto now.

Passive: it uses the furnace fan to heat the coil

Power: it uses it owns fan to heat the coil



well want to have one in place before winter hit. Else i am going to forget again
