Panasonic ERV – do I need to add motorized dampers?
marincracker
| Posted in General Questions on
I bought a Panasonic ERV Intelli-Balance 100 Energy Recovery Ventilator (Temperate Climate) FV-10VE2 and I’m wondering if I need to add motorized dampers to the fresh and/or exhaust air ducts? And, if so, where exactly those should be located.
My ERV will have a fully dedicated duct system independent of anything else.
I assume if the dampers are needed, there is some kind of relay or way to turn them on/off when the ERV goes on/off?
Thanks for any help. Very much appreciated.

Which Panasonic?
Mine has internal dampers activated by air movement...I did install and exhaust termination with an intergral damper.
Highly recommend you also figure out a way to filter the exterior air entering. The ERV filter is insufficient. Figure out a way to install an easily accessible exterior filter...
The model is Intelli-Balance 100 Energy Recovery Ventilator (Temperate Climate)
Brand: Panasonic
SKU: FV-10VE2
