Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between FV-10VEC2H and other Intelli-Balance® 100 models?
The FV-10VEC2H is hardwired and supports lower-speed airflow (starting at 30 CFM), making it ideal for variable ventilation needs in cold climates.
Does it come with a plug?
No, this unit is hardwired. It requires professional installation per electrical codes.
How is frost protection handled?
The unit automatically switches to a circulation mode when outdoor temps drop below -13°F, preventing the core from freezing.
Can I use this for fully dedicated ducting?
Yes. The unit supports fully, partially, or return-based ducting configurations.
Is the FV-10VEC2H ENERGY STAR® certified?
Yes, it meets ENERGY STAR® requirements for the Canadian market.
What maintenance does this ERV require?
Replace the MERV 8 filter every 6 months. An alarm reminds users when service is needed.
What is the ASHRAE timing feature?
It provides 10–60 minute ON periods each hour to help meet intermittent ventilation requirements under ASHRAE 62.2.
Can this ERV work with HVAC systems?
Yes, it includes terminals for HVAC/AHU signal wiring to sync ventilation with your system.
