Panasonic WhisperComfort ERV – not necessarily a “spot” ERV anymore!
Corbett Lunsford just posted the first of a series of videos on how to convert a Panasonic WhisperComfort “spot” ERV into a ducted ERV. Apparently this setup was described to him by Panasonic engineers, so it has some legitimacy behind it.
This video doesn’t contain all of the details, but more videos will follow (you can subscribe and get notified), and this is such a unique modification for a uniquely affordable ERV that I thought it was worth pointing out.
Looks like Corbett has been mentioned previously on GBA: https://www.greenbuildingadvisor.com/blogs/dept/green-building-news/free-podcasts-building-topics . I follow his YouTube channel and it’s full of a lot of great building science material.

That solution makes a lot of sense. I would hope to see that as a built in option on future versions. So I guess panasonic is ok with the extra pressure needed to throw the air down a duct?
I love this. But are we sure this maintains the warranty?
