Yeah your right about the duct heater,i also opened it up to find out the thing was cranked to the the max .The fellow said it should be at 50 or half way.The funny thing is in the winter when the furnace was not on,the air did not seem that warm.

Actually Manitoba has the lowest cost for hydro in Canada. One of our few benefits for living here.
 I agree the problem may well have been a constant running, inline duct heater. I was going to install one of them in Thompson, but held off. I never really thought about it here, but I have a woodstove downstairs. Does your HRV fresh air, feed into the furnace?

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.

re Power
i just got my first shocker
523.00 for one month for my epcor bill..which is power and water OUCH.... They were sitting a about 200 per month before this hobby and slowly built up to this So don't feel bad, you ain't the only one. Someone was telling me that power in edmonton went up like 25 percent since the new year? doesn't anyone know if that is true? Neal
