3 Thank you for purchasing a Field Control Heat/Energy Recovery Ventilator (HRV/ERV). The HRV/ERV provides fresh air to your home while recovering energy from the air it exhausts. There are numerous benefits to a properly installed, operated, and maintained HRV/ERV: • Exhausts the stale, contaminated air, found in today’s tight buildings. • R[...]

Your HRV/ERV system produces a dehumidifying effect when outdoor humidity levels are lower than indoor humidity levels. These conditions occur normally when outdoor termperatures are below 60°F. An additional dehumidification effect is achievable with the Optional Dehumidistat (Part DH1). The Optional DH1 Control may be combined with the Healthy H[...]
