Hrv bearings in motor only lasted 13 months
I purchasd the HRV and had it proffesinaly installed. The HRV worked great for 13 months but began to get louder to the point where it could not be used. Service technician was here today and advised the motor needs replacing due to bearing. I had registered the product at time of purchase on line and that extened the warrenty to 2 years. Parts had to be ordered from manufacturer and would take a week to arrive. Although I had to pay for service trip, parts and installation of parts are to be covered by warranty.

Great Product.
I purchased the unit to replace my old air exchanger that was defective. The install was very easy as the in and out vent locations were pretty much in the same spot. I had to make minor adjustments as the unit sizes were a few inches in difference and the vent connections on the old unit were 6inch and the new 5inch. Besides that wiring was already there from my old unit. The new wall control is amazing. The unit is extremely quiet even on Turbo mode and does not vibrate at all.
This a great product.

Simple is better
My first unit which was a basic contractor air exchanger ran for 15 years. Bought this unit and luckily registered on line for the extra year of warranty coverage. They covered the repairs and parts for the damper motor assembly. It was barely two years of operations. Today it failed again and I have to pay because they replaced it 16 months ago.

Broken fan blade
I bought this 3years ago. It was working fine. But yesterday it started making super loud noise. I took it apart and found the fan blade was broken.

Excellent first impressions
I just installed this machine myself and am very impressed by its look and VERY quite operation. I really like the size compared to my two previous HRV units. One suggestion to Venmar - come up with a different way to hang the unit. The chains and springs are very awkward to engage around the supplied screws and hooks. Leveling is even more awkward because the chain links are inconsistent and have a tendency to jam around one another. The springs work well to decouple the unit noise from structure, but the chains are a royal pain. I even had the unit sitting on a platform while I hooked up the hanging hardware. It would be nearly impossible if you had to hold up one end and engage the chains and springs. Other than that, installation is a breeze. The manual needs work. It has several typos and is obviously not written by a technical writer. The hardcopy diagrams are hard to see. The online ones are only slightly better because you can zoom in.
It hasn't been tested under a "house closed for winter" condition, but I anticipate that it should do the job. Overall, I highly recommend the Venmar.
