Suitable area and location
For planned whole-house fresh-air ventilation. Design flow from occupants, floor area and applicable local standard; verify outdoor air quality and duct routes.
Installation and cost
Ventilation contractor routes separate outdoor intake and exhaust, balances measured airflow and manages condensate where required. Installed ERV projects vary by duct access and climate; request an itemized local quote.
Ask for a written quote that identifies equipment, accessories, permits, removal, labor and warranty. Published nationwide project ranges have different scopes and cannot be combined with a retail item price to calculate a reliable installed total.

Maintain filters and inspect core and outdoor hoods to manufacturer schedule.
