I returned to a Nashville residence for my 1 free maintenance call on a heat recovery ventilator I installed in the summer. I had wanted to return anyway, because I wasn't crazy about the zip ties I had used to secure the ducting to the unit. They had been to short for the 8" diameter sleeves, about 24", so I picked up some 36" heavy duty zip ties at Home Depot on the way over. This is the Fantech SHR-2004 model:
 |
| Air intake vent through the outside wall |
 |
| Looks like the screen on the intake vent is pretty dirty! |
 |
| Exhaust Vent showed plenty of outflow. |
 |
| Duct tape for cleaning the vent screen |
 |
| A little debris from the intake vent screen |
 |
| 36" zip-ties are plenty long for a secure grip for the ducting |
 |
| This duct is securely held in place for life! |
 |
| Time to open the unit itself |
 |
| Flip the latches down and out to open the door. |
 |
| The HRV Core |
 |
| Slide it out..... |
 |
| Vacuum the screens, or "soak in soapy water for 3 hours" if super-dirty |
 |
| The ever-present dead insect population |
 |
| Slide core back into place after cleaning |
 |
| Slide door on the hinges on top from left to right |
 |
| Close latches |
 |
| Good for another year of radon removal |
