This ventilator measures 24.88 x 27.88 x 15.38 inches (H x W x D) and weighs 59 pounds, so you will need solid wall framing and clearance above for duct routing. With no condensation drain needed, your installation site options expand to closets and utility areas that lack floor drain access.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSylvane's Expert Take\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you're a contractor or builder specifying ventilation for a tight residential build, the HERO 140E ERV earns its place in the mechanical plan. A standard exhaust-only strategy pulls conditioned air out of the envelope without recovering any of the heating or cooling energy behind it. This ERV's variable-speed counterflow core returns that energy to the incoming supply, which can allow you to spec a smaller furnace or air handler while still meeting Energy Star and ZERH ventilation requirements. The drainless, top-port design is the real time-saver on-site, because you can mount it in a compact closet without routing a condensate line.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fantech","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45394099077206,"sku":"fn19011","price":1154.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/7135\/4966\/files\/fantech-hero-140e-160e-ec-energy-recovery-ventilator-main.png?v=1785305504","url":"https:\/\/www.sylvane.com\/products\/fantech-hero-140e-142-cfm-energy-recovery-ventilator","provider":"Sylvane","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
