DIRECT CONNECTION of both the ERV SUPPLY AIR STREAM and
EXHAUST AIR STREAM to the FURNACE COLD AIR RETURN

Simplified Installation

Option 1
(Return/Return Method)
• ERV must be balanced
• ERV must be interlocked with the furnace blower
• Check local codes/authority having
jurisdiction for acceptance
CAUTION
In humid climates, it may be preferable to have a dedicat-
ed ducting system to the house for the ERV instead of con-
necting the ERV to the central air-conditioner. Since the
central air-conditioner fan must be running continuously
to allow the fresh air from the ERV to be properly distrib-
uted throughout the house, it may pick up humidity from
the cooling coil when it is not operating and re-distribute it
to the house, causing excess humidity. This situation may
be particularly aggravated if the air-conditioner is over-
sized.
* Ducts connection may
vary depending on model
Outdoors
NOTES:
1. Furnace blower is required to operate when ventilation from ERV is required. ERV should beinterlocked with fur-
nace blower (SEE CAUTION ABOVE)
2. A minimum separation of 39 inches (1m) is recommended between the two direct connections.
3. The exhaust air connection should be upstream of the supply air connection to prevent exhausting any fresh air.
4. Weatherhood arrangement is for drawing purposes only. 6' (2m) minimum separation recommended. 18" (460
mm) above grade minimum.
5. Due to the differences in pressure between the ERV and the equipment it is being connected to, the ERV's airflow
must be confirmed on site, using the balancing procedure found in the installation manual.
