Frequently Asked Questions - ERV100S BROAN
What is an ERV and how does it differ from an HRV?
An ERV (Energy Recovery Ventilator) transfers both heat and moisture between incoming and outgoing air streams, while an HRV (Heat Recovery Ventilator) only transfers heat. The ERV100S is an ERV, making it ideal for humid climates.
What are the recommended duct sizes and lengths for the ERV100S?
Use 6-inch round ducts. Maximum total duct length should not exceed 100 feet equivalent length (including fittings). Use balanced duct runs to minimize static pressure.
How often should the filters be cleaned or replaced?
Inspect filters every 3 months. Clean washable filters with mild soap and water; replace disposable filters every 6 months or if damaged.
Can the ERV100S be installed in a cold attic?
Yes, but the unit should be insulated and installed in a conditioned or semi-conditioned space. The automatic defrost cycle protects against freezing in cold climates.
What is the typical noise level of this ERV?
Sound level is approximately 1.0 sone at normal speed, making it very quiet for residential use.
How do I connect the wall control?
The wall control connects via low-voltage thermostat wire (2-4 conductors). Follow the wiring diagram in the manual. Typical configurations use 18-22 gauge wire.
What does the automatic defrost cycle do?
When outdoor temperatures drop below approximately 23°F (-5°C), the ERV enters defrost mode, temporarily closing the outdoor intake to recirculate indoor air and prevent frost buildup on the core.
Can I use a timer to control the ERV?
Yes, you can connect a timer switch (like a humidity sensor or occupancy timer) to the low-voltage control circuit. The unit accepts standard 24VAC signals.
What maintenance is required for the ERV core?
The energy recovery core should be cleaned every 1-2 years. Remove it from the unit and wash with warm water and mild detergent. Allow it to dry completely before reinstalling.
How do I troubleshoot if the ERV stops working?
First, check that power is on and the circuit breaker has not tripped. Verify that the wall control is functioning. Inspect filters and core for blockages. Listen for unusual motor sounds. If still not working, consult the manual's troubleshooting guide or contact Broan customer support.
