Can I install 2 bathrooms? Can I install more than 2 whispers, I am planning to have one whisper per room, so can I install 7 whispers + 2 bathrooms?
We have one in each bathroom(3) and one in the kitchen. I don’t know how many you can have, the HRV company can answer that better than I can.

do you install venmar hrv units
Yes, I installed venmar Hrv unit in my home half year ago. The unit, which I bought from the Lowe’s. This HRV does not have interlock to control furnaces fan. You need to contact a HRV profession for install.

Just wondering about the cfu on the venmar 500 model. Thank you
According to the Venmar website for the 500 at https://www.venmar.ca/91-air-exchangers-evo5-500-hrv.html the cfm is 50 to 94.

Some HRV’s have built in dehumidifiers, can you confirm if this model has one?
That is what air exchangers are. It is a dehumidifier.

Good HRV but missing a critical feature
I called Venmar support and confirmed both EVO5 500 and 700 not supporting furnace interlock and was told no documented solution to address it. For most of home owners no way to build dedicated ductwork to pull stale air so only option is to use so called "simplified installtion" tied in main returned ductwork. This installation requires to run furnance blower always on.
Furnace interlock can run furnance blower only if HRV operates.Without this feature, it's a waste to run furnance blower 24x7,potentially can reduce blower lifetime and increase the noise level.
Otherwise it's a decent HRV unit.

Fantastic unit!
We have a 1 year old home and every morning if it's below 0C outside we had water on our windows. Installed yesterday and this morning fresh air and no water on any windows. Easy to install. This is our second installation of a Venmar and they are excellent units.

very quiet hrv with great controls
unit runs very quiet and seems well constructed
controls allow for remote operation of the unit and for timed ventilation ie 20 minutes for every hour
recommend purchasing the installation kit for easy install
unit has been running for over a year with no problems

Works well.
Only one caveat, the intake and exhaust vents are on opposite sides from original venmar I bought. This required moving the box and using flex hose to recconect. My thought would have been to keep the intakke and exhaust uniform from one generation to the next. Hmm.. wonderwhy the port reversal.

Good so far
Picked it up on sale for under $800. Install was simple as I was replacing a Broan HRV3.1 which stopped working. I just had to reroute some ductwork. The quality seems better than the Broan (even if they are one and the same) and it seems to run quieter. Hopefully this one last more than the couple of years the Broan did.

Easy to install
I bought this several month ago, but didn't have time to install it at the time. When I did, I found it easy since it was a lot lighter than the old Venmar that it was replacing and chose Venmar because I got very good service out of the old unit. The only complaint is the wear of the sleeve bearings in the blower. I wish they were ball bearings.
After operating for a while, I found that the plastic core was not as efficient as the aluminium core of the one it was replacing. I do like the doors that shut out the outside air and redirect the flow to be circular inside the house.

Beware
Do NOT buy this unit for a new build. The EVO5 700 does not have the ability to interlock with a furnace and also does not come with the ability to balance as required by building inspection.

Not sure about it…
We bought this to replace our original unit which was also a venmar. Installation was fairly straightforward. However, noticing this winter that we have tons of condensation on our windows. I’ve used the troubleshooting guide and nothing gives. I miss the old dial from the original unit that I could adjust the humidity with. Not sure what we’re doing wrong?
