The Fantech HERO 120E-EC meets that need with a counterflow core that transfers both heat and moisture between outgoing and incoming airstreams, so your HVAC system shoulders less of the load.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis energy recovery ventilator fits directly into the balanced ventilation strategy that modern building codes require for tightly sealed construction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features and Benefits of the Fantech HERO 120E-EC 112 CFM Energy Recovery Ventilator\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCounterflow Core:\u003c\/strong\u003e Achieves up to 85 percent sensible recovery efficiency at 32 degrees F, recapturing most of the energy from outgoing air before fresh outdoor air enters your home.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEC Motor Technology:\u003c\/strong\u003e Electronically commutated (EC) motors deliver variable-speed airflow from 40 to 112 CFM while drawing a maximum of 87 watts, keeping your continuous ventilation costs low.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWall-Mount Design:\u003c\/strong\u003e The top-port, drainless configuration measures 24.25 x 23.25 x 11.5 inches (H x W x D) and weighs 50 pounds, fitting into utility closets without a condensate drain line.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSealed Connections:\u003c\/strong\u003e Metal duct collars measuring 5 inches in diameter with rubberized gaskets prevent air leakage at each connection point, helping you maintain your home's airtight envelope.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eElectronic Controls:\u003c\/strong\u003e Integrated balancing taps and electronic speed management let your installer measure pressure drops and balance supply and exhaust airstreams during commissioning.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecirculation Defrost:\u003c\/strong\u003e An internal recirculation damper redirects warm indoor air through the core during freezing conditions, preventing ice buildup without stopping your ventilation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFront Access:\u003c\/strong\u003e A front-accessible panel lets you reach the core and clean the included MERV 3 filter or swap out the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.sylvane.com\/products\/fantech-merv-8-filter-kit-hero-120h\"\u003eoptional MERV 8 filter\u003c\/a\u003e without removing the ventilator from its wall mount.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCertified Performance:\u003c\/strong\u003e HVI and CSA certifications verify airflow and safety testing, while Energy Star certification confirms this ventilator meets current residential efficiency requirements.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSizing the HERO 120E-EC for Your Project\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 112 CFM nominal airflow, this ERV is sized for apartments, condominiums, and smaller single-family homes where ventilation loads are moderate. Energy recovery from the exhaust airstream reduces your HVAC system's workload, translating to a gain of approximately 3 to 5 HERS index points (depending on the climate). That improvement supports compliance with Energy Star Certified Homes, DOE Zero Energy Ready Home, LEED for Homes, and IECC performance targets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSylvane's Expert Take\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you're a builder or homeowner working toward Energy Star or Zero Energy Ready Home certification on a smaller residence, the HERO 120E-EC is built for your project. Many residential ERVs in this CFM range still rely on less efficient motors and require a drain line, adding complexity to your mechanical room layout. The drainless, top-port design eliminates condensate plumbing entirely, so your installer can focus on duct connections and mounting, rather than routing drain lines through tight spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fantech","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45394089738326,"sku":"fn19010","price":1039.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/7135\/4966\/files\/fantech-hero-120e-ec-112-cfm-energy-recovery-ventilator-main.png?v=1785305318","url":"https:\/\/www.sylvane.com\/products\/fantech-hero-120e-ec-112-cfm-energy-recovery-ventilator","provider":"Sylvane","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
