MY HRV feeds directly into the furnace. I have no duct heater and it is not needed at all.

Some "mechanical" contractors say you need one, or else humidity will be a problem in the HRV unit. That is wrong on most new HRV units. They will work for many years w/o. They are just trying to sell you something IMO.

I would only run it when it is around -25 or colder.

Is that it? 15 a month with halides? My girlfriend keeps trying to blame my tank on the hydro costs going up. It's a pair of seio 620's, a 150w heater and 4 39w T5's, plus a skimmer. I knew she was going crazy.

Don't forget in the summer you have to pay for the extra AC to cool down your house after you pay for all the extra stuff that heats up your house, including the added extra humidity.
