Does anyone have experience with a Minotair ventilation system in a cold northern climate (I’m in Alaska)? Thanks!

I do not believe that their system works very well in the cold.

Also, because it doesn't not have a traditional heat exchanger, it's actually a pretty inefficient ERV. I posted a thread at some point where I did the math.
